battery

3000 mAh, roughly half a dayAt this capacity paired with a 293ppi screen, expect about 4 to 5 hours of screen time on a single charge with typical use.

display

5.5-inch, 720 x 1440, 293 ppiThe 16:9 aspect ratio is taller than modern phones, and individual pixels are faintly visible at normal viewing distance due to the lower density.
