The handset rocks a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and a punch-hole at the upper left corner.

There is a 4,500 mAh battery under the hood to keep the lights on and it can be refilled with the 15W TurboCharge fast charging technology over a USB-C port. 

For photography, it gets a triple camera cluster on the rear, including a 64MP main sensor, a 16MP ultra-wide camera that also works as a macro shooter, and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and PDAF. On the front, it has a 25MP camera that can be used to take selfies and video chats. Other features include the latest Android 10, Waves audio stereo speakers, My UX app, splash-resistant coating, headphone jack, and in-display fingerprint reader.
