The 6.83-inch AMOLED panel has slim bezels, and its 2772 × 1280 resolution gives a density of 460 ppi. Typical brightness is 800 cd/m² and up to 3500 cd/m² in HDR, which helps keep the screen readable even in direct sunlight. In the dark, the manufacturer says, 3840 Hz PWM dimming and a circadian eye-comfort mode reduce flicker and eye strain. The refresh rate is 120 Hz and touch sampling 480 Hz.
According to the manufacturer, the back has a dynamic RGB light that can signal incoming calls and app notifications in eight colours and pulse in time with music and games; its brightness is adjustable. The back panel is fibreglass, the frame is metal and the front glass is Gorilla Glass 7i. The manufacturer says the phone is SGS certified for resistance to drops, bending and crushing, and the EU label gives drop resistance class B.
The eight-core Dimensity 9500s runs at up to 3.73 GHz with Mali-G720 graphics. 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM keeps apps quick to open, and 512 GB of storage is enough for a large collection of photos, videos and games. The system is Android with HyperOS 3, and the manufacturer says the Gemini assistant can be opened without leaving the current app.
The 50 MP main camera sensor measures 1/1.95″ with an f/1.5 aperture and optical stabilisation, and the manufacturer calls it Light Fusion 600. There is also an 8 MP rear camera and a 20 MP front camera. Video records at up to 4K 60 frames per second, and slow motion at up to 960 frames per second. Night mode, portrait mode and HDR help in difficult light.
The 8500 mAh battery charges from a USB Power Delivery or 100 W PPS charger; there is no adapter in the box, but a USB-C cable and a protective case are included. Two symmetrical stereo speakers support Dolby Atmos, and the manufacturer adds a night-time low-volume mode. The phone supports 5G, 4G and 3G networks, two SIMs and eSIM, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC, and unlocks with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader or face recognition.
