6.44″ AMOLED, 90Hz, 500 nitsThe 90Hz refresh and 500-nit peak brightness handle scrolling smoothly and remain legible in direct sunlight, though not in bright outdoor glare.

camera

64MP main with OIS, 44MP selfieThe f/1.8 main sensor and optical stabilization capture detailed daytime shots and steadier low-light photos; the 44MP front camera with AF and OIS shoots crisp selfies even in motion.

battery

4000mAh, 33W charging to 63% in 30minAbout 5 to 6 hours of mixed screen time before a full charge is needed; 33W wired charging reaches roughly 45 to 60 minutes for a full top-up.

performance

Dimensity 800U, Mali-G57 GPUThis mid-range chipset handles everyday apps, light gaming (Genshin Impact on medium settings, Call of Duty Mobile on high), and video editing on the CPU; the 6 or 8GB RAM variant determines app-switching smoothness.

connectivity

5G sub-6, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC5G band 78 connects where available in India; Wi-Fi 5 is slower than newer Wi-Fi 6 phones but adequate for home and office; Bluetooth 5.1 works reliably with earbuds and smartwatches.

durability

7.3mm plastic back, no rating listedAt 7.3mm with a plastic rear and no IP certification, the phone is thin and light (176g) but unprotected against water and dust; a case and screen protector are advisable.
