performance

Snapdragon 865, Adreno 650 GPURuns demanding Android games like PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact at high settings and 60fps, though sustained thermal throttling over long sessions is common in this generation.

display

6.67-inch AMOLED, 120Hz, 500 nitsScrolling is noticeably smooth at 120Hz; 500 nits peak brightness handles indoor and overcast outdoor use, but direct sunlight requires an awkward viewing angle.

battery

4729 mAh, roughly 1 day moderate useAbout 6 to 8 hours of continuous screen time; heavy gaming drains it faster, light use stretches it to a full day.

charging

65W wired, ~38 minutes full chargeThe 38-minute spec is manufacturer claim; real-world is closer to 40 to 50 minutes depending on heat and charger quality, so quick top-ups work but plan for a proper charge before long outings.

camera

64MP f/1.8 main, 13MP ultrawide, 5MP depthThe 64MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture handles bright daylight and indoor low-light better than many phones; 13MP 120-degree ultrawide captures group shots and landscapes, though the 5MP depth is minimal for portrait separation.

connectivity

5G (SA/NSA), Wi-Fi 6, dual SIMSupports 5G bands 41/78/79 where available; Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD ensure fast local transfer and stable audio, and dual Nano-SIM lets you run two carriers.
