Editorial report

Hotwav Cyber 18 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Hotwav Cyber 18 suits buyers who prioritize resistance to water, dust and drops over a light design. Its main trade-off is the body: at 582 g and 13.5 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.

IP68/IP69 protection and 270 drop tests suit demanding environments. Its 6,200 mAh battery has typical capacity for its time, while 18 W fast charging is slower than that of most phones of its time. The 6.75″ IPS LCD display runs at 120 Hz, a typical refresh rate, with 720 × 1,600 px resolution and 269 ppi.

The rear camera combines 64 MP with an f/1.79 aperture, both better than those of most phones of its time. Android 16 and 6 years of updates give it a clearly defined support period. The configuration includes 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of expandable storage and NFC, along with dual Nano-SIM support.

Performance is worse than most phones of its time: AnTuTu records 307,500 points. Overall, the Cyber 18 stands worse than most phones of its time and receives a NeoScore of 5.0. It is a specialized choice for buyers who need physical protection and accept substantial weight, thickness and slower charging.
