display
6000 nits, 120Hz AMOLED6.55-inch AMOLED at 120Hz with 6000-nit peak brightness means reading in direct sunlight is sharp and scrolling feels smooth, though the 460 ppi density is close enough that individual pixels won't be obvious at arm's length.
performance
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, Adreno 825The Snapdragon 8s and Adreno 825 handle demanding titles like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile at high settings, and everyday apps open without lag.
battery
8000 mAh, roughly 1.5 daysWith typical mixed use (social media, messaging, light video), expect about 12 to 15 hours of screen-on time before needing a charge.
charging
80W SuperCharge, ~40–50 minutesThe 80W wired charging should top a full 8000 mAh battery from empty to 100 in roughly 40 to 50 minutes.
camera
200MP f/1.9 main, 12MP ultrawideThe 200MP f/1.9 with 0.56µm pixels and OIS captures distant detail in daylight and handles low-light scenes; the 12MP 117° ultrawide is suited for group shots and landscapes.
durability
IP68/IP69K, immersible 1.5m/30minIP68/IP69K rating and 1/1.4-inch sensor mean the phone survives dust, accidental dunks, and high-pressure water; you can take it to the beach or pool without a case if you're careful.
connectivity
5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.05G SA/NSA and Wi-Fi 7 dual-band support faster downloads in coverage areas; Bluetooth 6.0 with aptX Lossless is solid for wireless headphones.
