battery
5000 mAh, about 1.5 to 2 daysA full day of moderate use is realistic; heavy video or gaming will push you to a midday charge.
durability
IP67, Gorilla Glass 5It survives a splash or brief dunking up to 1 meter, and the screen resists everyday scratches, but this is not a rugged phone.
storage
128 GB or 256 GB, expandableThe 128 GB base model gives you roughly 90 GB for apps and photos after the OS; a microSD card adds up to 1 TB more.
