The Maimang 20 specs confirm a well-rounded mid-range package: a large 6.78-inch LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset, a 64MP primary camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 40W fast charging — all launched in China at a starting price of CNY 1,799. Once a Huawei sub-brand, Maimang is now owned by China Telecom following Huawei's divestiture last year, and the Maimang 20 is one of the first major launches under new stewardship.

Maimang 20 Specs: Display, Processor and Memory
The Maimang 20 packs a 6.78-inch LCD panel with a resolution of 2388 x 1080 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate for responsive everyday use. The display houses a centered hole-punch cutout for the front-facing camera. Under the hood sits Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC, a chipset tuned for efficient mid-range performance without excessive power draw.
Two memory configurations are available at launch:
- 8GB RAM + 256GB storage — priced at CNY 1,799
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage — priced at CNY 1,999
The software layer is the company's custom Android 12-based skin. The phone ships in three colour finishes: Silver, Black, and Green.
Camera and Battery Performance
On the rear, the Maimang 20 features a dual-camera setup housed inside two large circular rings — a design trend increasingly common in smartphones launching this year. The primary sensor is a 64-megapixel shooter, backed by a 2-megapixel depth sensor for portrait and bokeh assistance. Selfie duties are handled by an 8-megapixel camera positioned in the front hole-punch cutout.
Powering the device is a 5,000mAh battery with support for 40W fast charging. A 5,000mAh cell at this price tier is a meaningful advantage for all-day users, while 40W charging means you can top up meaningfully in under an hour rather than waiting through a slow overnight cycle.

Design and Build
Aesthetically, the Maimang 20 follows a trend that has grown prominent across recent mid-range smartphones: dual large round camera rings on the rear panel. The rings frame the 64MP and 2MP sensors and give the back a bold, contemporary appearance. The front is dominated by the 6.78-inch display with slim bezels, and the centered hole-punch keeps the selfie camera unobtrusive. Three colour options — Silver, Black, and Green — cover neutral and more distinctive preferences alike.
Software and Context
The Maimang 20 runs Android 12 underneath a custom skin developed for the brand. While the Android version is a generation behind the latest releases, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chipset is specifically designed for efficiency in the affordable mid-range tier, balancing everyday multitasking and moderate gaming without punishing battery life. The Maimang brand itself has an interesting backstory: originally launched as a Huawei sub-brand to target value-focused buyers in China, it was sold to China Telecom, making the Maimang 20 one of the first flagships of that new era. According to Gizmochina, the phone is a China-exclusive launch for now, with no word on international availability.
