display

2000-nit OLED, 240Hz refreshAt 2000 nits peak brightness with a 1260 x 2730 OLED panel running at 240Hz, the screen stays readable in direct sunlight and scrolls without visible stuttering, though the 456 ppi pixel density means fine text is slightly softer than flagships with higher densities.

performance

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 3.18 GHzThe octa-core processor handles demanding games (Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile) at high settings and multitasking without slowdown, with the Adreno GPU capable of sustaining 60+ fps in most titles.

battery

5000 mAh, about 1 day heavy useWith moderate to heavy screen-on time (6 to 8 hours mixed use), the battery reaches evening; power users pushing the 240Hz display and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 may need a top-up by late afternoon.

charging

USB PD 3.0 wired, Qi wirelessUSB Power Delivery supports fast wired charging (exact wattage not specified), while Qi wireless charging means slower overnight top-ups without a cable, though the 5000 mAh capacity means a partial charge fills the battery in 30 to 50 minutes.

durability

IP68 + IP65 ratedIP68 rating allows full dust sealing and submersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes; the dual rating reflects compliance testing and offers protection against both accidental water spills and brief dunking.

storage

256GB internal, microSD up to 1TBThe phone ships with 256GB of storage and a microSD slot supporting up to 1TB expansion, enough for large media libraries and game installations without relying on cloud backups.

connectivity

5G (FDD + TDD), Wi-Fi impliedDual-band 5G (FDD 2100/1800/850/700, TDD 4700/3700/3500/2500) and dual SIM (eSIM + nanoSIM) cover most carriers, though exact Wi-Fi standard is not listed in the spec data.
