display

120Hz AMOLED, 1100 nits peakThe 120Hz refresh and 1100-nit brightness (hitting 1300 nits in peak mode) make text sharp and colours vivid even in direct sunlight, with smooth scrolling that rarely judders.

performance

Dimensity 7200 Pro, 8-12GB RAMThe 4nm processor and Mali-G610 GPU handle everyday apps, social media, and older titles like PUBG Mobile or Fortnite at mid-to-high settings without stuttering, though demanding new games will need reduced settings.

camera

50MP wide, 50MP ultrawide, OISThe f/1.9 main sensor with optical stabilization captures clear handheld shots in moderate light; the 114° ultrawide is useful for group shots and landscapes, though the narrower f/2.2 ultrawide struggles when light drops.

battery

5000mAh, 45W chargingRoughly 6 to 7 hours of continuous screen time, typical for all-day use; the 45W charger tops the battery to 50% in about 23 minutes and full in roughly 1 hour.

durability

Gorilla Glass 5, IP54 protectionThe Gorilla Glass 5 front resists scratches, and IP54 rating guards against dust and water splashes, but the plastic frame and back are less robust than metal or ceramic, and the rating does not cover full immersion.

storage

128GB or 256GB, UFS 3.0The 128GB base tier leaves ~90GB usable after the OS; 256GB (with 8GB or 12GB RAM options) gives more breathing room for apps and media without an SD card slot to expand.
