display
6.44in AMOLED, 90Hz, 800 nits HBMThe 800-nit peak brightness in high brightness mode and 90Hz refresh make it readable in direct sunlight and smooth for scrolling, though not as buttery as 120Hz screens.
camera
64MP main with OIS, 44MP selfieThe optical image stabilization on the main sensor helps handheld video and low-light shots stay sharp; the 44MP front camera with OIS is uncommon for this price tier and captures sharper selfies and group shots.
performance
Dimensity 800U, Mali-G57, 8GB RAMThis mid-range chipset handles everyday apps, messaging, and browsing smoothly, but struggles with demanding games like Genshin Impact on high settings; roughly suitable for light gaming, video editing, and multitasking.
battery
4000 mAh, about 4–5 hours screen-onFor a 6.44in AMOLED at 90Hz, this capacity is modest and will need a top-up midday on active use; 4K video recording drains it faster.
charging
33W wired, 63% in 30 minutesThe 33W charger fills the battery partway in half an hour (roughly 60–75 minutes to full), which is average for 2022 mid-range phones, but no wireless charging.
