performance

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Adreno 750 GPUThe flagship 2024 chipset handles demanding games (Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail) at high settings and multitasking without lag, supported by up to 24GB RAM.

battery

10100mAh, roughly 10–14 hours screen timeA 10.9-inch tablet with this capacity and efficient LCD screen lasts a full day of mixed use before needing a charge.

charging

120W wired, 45 min to full (China model)The international model tops up in 55 minutes; the Chinese variant reaches full in 45 minutes, both fast enough to charge between work sessions.

display

10.9 inches, 144Hz, 550 nitsThe 144Hz refresh and 550-nit peak brightness keep scrolling and gaming smooth, and the screen is readable in bright indoor light, though direct outdoor sunlight will be challenging.

connectivity

Wi-Fi 6, no cellular; magnetic USB-COperates only over Wi-Fi, so you cannot use it as a phone; the proprietary magnetic connector adds durability but limits cable interoperability.

camera

50MP wide, f/1.8, 4K@30fps videoThe single rear lens and 4K 30fps cap suit casual photos and video, but lack telephoto zoom and slow-motion recording compared to flagship phones.

durability

Glass front, aluminum chassis, 7.3mm thinThe 530g weight and slim profile make it portable; however, the large glass front and lack of any stated drop or water rating leave it vulnerable to cracks.
