The camera is better than most, and its 64 MP resolution is higher than that of most cameras of its time. The main camera includes optical stabilization, although its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most. The 4500 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 66 W fast charging offers more power than most phones of its time.
The phone is sold in 8 GB / 128 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB configurations; this version has 8 GB / 128 GB. It has no Google Services. Its overall NeoScore is 6.7, better than most phones of its time.
