There is 256 GB of storage, more than most contemporaries, plus 12 GB RAM, among the largest capacities of its time. Storage cannot be expanded.
For photography, the 1/1.43″ sensor in the 48 MP rear camera is among the largest of its time, and the camera overall stands better than most. The phone also has a 50 MP ultrawide camera and records video at up to 8K at 30 fps. Its 4500 mAh battery supports 65 W wired charging, faster than most phones of its time, as well as 15 W wireless charging, among the highest power levels.
