performance

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Adreno 750Handles demanding games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail at high settings, and multitasking stays smooth throughout the day.

display

120Hz AMOLED, 1800 nits peakThe 1080x2340 resolution at 6.55 inches is sharp enough for reading text (393 ppi), and 120Hz scrolling through social media feels smooth; the brightness lets you see the screen clearly in direct sunlight.

camera

200MP main, f/1.7, OISThe wide sensor (1/1.4 inch) with optical stabilization captures detailed photos in daylight and stays steady when recording video or shooting in lower light; the 122° ultrawide handles wide group shots.

battery

4800mAh, roughly 1 day mixed useWith moderate screen time and typical app use, one full charge gets you through a day; heavy gaming or video will drain it faster.

charging

80W wired, roughly 30 to 45 minutesFast top-ups before you leave, though you still need the included charger in your bag.

connectivity

5G, Wi-Fi 7, NFC, dual SIM5G bands 1, 3, 5, 8, 28, 38, 41, 77, 78 cover most networks in populated areas; Wi-Fi 7 is overkill unless your home router supports it, but NFC lets you pay with your phone.

durability

IP54, glass + aluminum, 198gWater splashes are tolerated but not submersion, so avoid dropping it in a pool; the slender 7.9mm frame feels light in the pocket but the glass back will crack from a fall.
