display

11.5", 2800×1840, 144Hz IPSThe 291 ppi resolution and 144Hz refresh deliver sharp text and smooth scrolling across the matte variant's anti-glare coating, though IPS won't match OLED black levels in a dark room.

performance

Snapdragon 888 4G, 8–12GB RAMThis 2021-era flagship processor handles everyday multitasking and video editing apps without lag, but struggles with the newest demanding games at high settings.

camera

13MP main, 8MP ultrawide selfieThe rear 13MP with PDAF works for document scans and casual shots in daylight, while the 105° front lens frames wider group calls, but neither excels in low light.

battery

8300mAh, roughly 10–12 hours useA day of mixed browsing, video, and work is realistic; heavy video streaming may shorten this by 2 to 3 hours.

charging

40W wired, roughly 60–75 minutes fullEstimate based on 8300mAh capacity; no wireless charging or faster cable option.

storage

UFS storage, 128–512GB tiersNo microSD slot; your choice of capacity is permanent, so pick the 256GB or 512GB model if you store video or large apps locally.

connectivity

Wi-Fi 6, LTE, no 5GWi-Fi 6 handles fast home networks; LTE is adequate for cell backup on models with SIM, but you'll miss 5G speed on the road.
