display
6.7″, 720p PLS LCD, 262 ppiThe low pixel density and 20:9 aspect ratio mean text and icons are noticeably soft at arm's length, and the PLS panel won't brighten enough for comfortable outdoor use in direct sun.
battery
5000 mAh, about 1.5 to 2 days light useWith a large screen and mid-range chipset, you'll get a full day of moderate browsing and messaging; heavier video streaming or gaming cuts that to a single charge.
charging
25W wired, roughly 1.5 to 2 hours to fullAt 25W, a dead battery takes a while to refill, so plan for a mid-afternoon or evening charge rather than a quick top-up before you leave.
performance
Helio G85, handles light gaming onlyThis eight-core chipset (Cortex-A75 cores clocking 2.0 GHz, Mali-G52 GPU) can run casual titles like Candy Crush or Puzzle games at stable frame rates, but will stutter on Genshin Impact or Call of Duty at any meaningful settings.
camera
50 MP wide, f/1.8, 1080p video onlyThe 50 MP sensor captures detail in good light, and the f/1.8 aperture helps with indoor shots, but video maxes out at 1080p 30/60fps and there is no zoom or ultra-wide lens.
storage
64 GB UFS, microSD up to 1 TB64 GB fills quickly with apps and photos; the dedicated microSD slot lets you add storage without a SIM trade-off, so plan to use an external card for media.
