performance

Snapdragon 865, Adreno 650 GPUThe 7nm processor and dedicated gaming GPU handle demanding mobile games (like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile) at high settings and sustained frame rates, though thermal throttling may limit extended sessions without active cooling.

display

144Hz AMOLED, 388 ppi densityThe 6.65-inch screen refreshes 144 times per second, making scrolling and gaming feel smooth, but at 1080p resolution the pixel density is adequate rather than sharp for close reading.

battery

4500mAh, about 5 to 6 hours screen-onA moderate capacity for a 2020 gaming phone; expect one full day on moderate use or half a day of constant gaming without the active cooling draining it faster.

charging

55W wired, roughly 40 minutes to fullThe spec claims 56% in 15 minutes, and full charge in 40 minutes, letting you top up for a few hours of use before leaving if pressed for time.

camera

64MP f/1.8 wide, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macroThe main sensor handles decent low-light shots and produces detailed crops; the ultrawide captures group photos or landscapes, though the macro is too low-resolution to be useful.

durability

Gorilla Glass, aluminum frame, built-in fanGorilla Glass on both sides and a frame that feels sturdy, plus active cooling to manage heat during extended play; overall construction is solid for a gaming phone, though not water-sealed.
