display

6.44-inch AMOLED, 90Hz refreshThe 500-nit brightness and AMOLED panel make text and photos clear indoors and in moderate sun, while 90Hz scrolling is noticeably smoother than standard 60Hz, though not as dramatic as 120Hz.

performance

Dimensity 800U, Mali-G57 GPUHandles everyday apps, social media, and light gaming (like PUBG Mobile at medium-high settings), but will struggle with sustained heavy 3D games or demanding photo editing.

camera

64MP main with OIS, 44MP selfieThe main camera with optical stabilization captures sharp daytime shots and manages low light better than a lens without OIS; the 44MP front camera with autofocus and OIS is strong for video calls and selfie content.

battery

4000mAh, 33W chargingExpect about 6 to 8 hours of screen-on time depending on brightness and use, and 33W charging gets you roughly 30 minutes to 63%, so a full charge takes around 45 to 50 minutes.

storage

UFS 2.1, 128GB or 256GBStorage is fast enough for apps and media, and microSD expansion (via shared SIM slot) lets you add storage without buying a higher-capacity model.

durability

Glass front, plastic body, 7.3mmNo water resistance rating means it is not safe near water or sweat-heavy work; the plastic back and frame make it lighter (176g) but less durable than all-glass or metal designs.

connectivity

LTE, Wi-Fi 6 absent, Bluetooth 5.1Works on most 4G networks (LTE bands 1–41), but lacks 5G and Wi-Fi 6; Bluetooth 5.1 handles wireless headphones and speakers without lag.
