While AI might be the major attraction of the device, there are loads of other features present in the phone. One of the most prominent things is the inclusion of Huawei/Honor’s EMUI 8.0 skin on top of Android. The custom skin comes with a plethora of modifications and customizability. A unique feature included within EMUI 8.0 is the ability to take screenshots or start screen recording using knock gestures.

Taking a screenshot is something that we do something in our day-to-day activities.

That being said, I personally found it to be a quite a weird process. I’ve found the three-finger swipe to be a much simpler way to take screenshots. If you’re in a public place, knocking on your phone would get you unwanted attention. Still, that is what I think. But what about you? Let us know your thoughts in the comments down below.
