display
6.8″ 144Hz LCD, 395 ppiThe 144Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling smooth and the 395 ppi makes text sharp, though the 1080p resolution on this large screen is not as dense as smaller flagships from the same era.
performance
Snapdragon 778G, 6GB RAMThis chipset handles day-to-day apps and mainstream games (COD Mobile, Genshin Impact on medium settings) comfortably, but demanding AAA titles will need graphics turned down or will see frame dips.
camera
108MP main, f/1.9, 8MP ultrawideThe large sensor and wide aperture capture good daylight detail and perform decently in moderate low light; the 119° ultrawide fits group shots and landscapes without a second zoom lens.
battery
5000mAh, about 1.5–2 days light useA 5000mAh cell with this chipset and 144Hz LCD screen yields roughly 6 to 8 hours of active screen time depending on use, stretching to a day of light work or standby.
charging
30W wired, roughly 60–75 minutesFrom empty, 30W charging takes around 60 to 75 minutes to full; a quick 20-minute session brings you to about 40–50% if you are in a hurry.
connectivity
5G mmWave, Wi-Fi 6e, NFCOn Verizon's 5G UW network, you get faster speeds in urban areas where mmWave coverage exists; Wi-Fi 6e connects to newer routers, and NFC unlocks mobile payments.
durability
Gorilla Glass 3, water-repellent plastic backGorilla Glass 3 (2012-era protection) scratches more easily than newer glass versions; the plastic back resists water splashes but not submersion.
