performance

Snapdragon 888 5G, 8GB RAMHandles 3D games at medium-to-high settings and multitasking across both screens without stutter, but expect throttling during sustained heavy workloads.

display

8.3", 1892x1892, 90Hz, 800 nitsThe large 4:3 ratio and 401ppi work well for reading and tablet apps; 800-nit peak brightness is legible in sunlight, and 90Hz makes scrolling smooth.

battery

4449mAh, roughly one day light useAbout 5 to 7 hours of screen time with moderate brightness and constant dual-display work; a day of email, messaging, and browsing is possible but tight.

charging

23W wired, roughly 2 to 2.5 hours fullSlow by modern standards; you will not reach full charge in under 90 minutes, making quick top-ups before travel inconvenient.

camera

12MP main, 2x optical zoom, f/1.7Main sensor with OIS captures sharp daylight and moderately low-light shots; the 2x telephoto telephoto handles distant subjects without cropping quality noticeably.

connectivity

5G Sub6, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, USB-C 3.25G works on most global bands (Sub6 internationally, plus mmWave in the USA), Wi-Fi 6 is standard, and USB-C 3.2 with DisplayPort lets you drive external monitors.

durability

Gorilla Glass Victus front and back, 11mm foldedBoth screens are protected by top-tier glass, but the 11mm folded profile and dual hinges are mechanical weak points; no official water or dust rating.
