The phone has a bright OLED display with a 6.78-inch screen size, 1260p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and support for 10-bit color depth and HDR 10+ video.
The camera performance is great for the class, with a 50MP main camera that produces photos that are colorful, sharp, and somewhat clean during the day, and good results from the automatic night mode in low light conditions.
