In terms of design, the phone comes with a heavy-duty looking exterior frame, which does resemble its predecessor, and even features MIL-STD-810H level durability. This surrounds the 6.49-inch IPS LCD display, which comes with a 1080 x 2400 pixel resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate in addition to Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The phone runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, backed by 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
For optics, there’s a dual-camera setup on the rear panel with a 64MP and 8MP camera combo, joined by a 16MP camera on the front. Other details include a 4800 mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot, stereo speakers, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
