The 6.67″ AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, a refresh rate among the best of its time. Its 90.9% screen-to-body ratio is also among the best. The camera combines 64 MP resolution with an f/1.6 aperture and 5x optical zoom: its resolution is better than most, while the aperture and zoom are among the best. Video recording includes 8K at 30 fps and 4K at 60 fps.
