Fluid 120Hz Display: It carries a large 6.78-inch Full HD+ display running at a fast 120Hz refresh rate. This high refresh rate ensures that navigating your daily apps, scrolling through social feeds, and playing mobile games feel incredibly responsive and smooth.
64MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera: The rear camera setup is anchored by a clear 64-megapixel main sensor. It captures vibrant color accuracy and great details during the day, utilizing advanced low-light software to optimize clarity and reduce noise in dim environments.
Cinema-Grade Audio Tuned by JBL: The multimedia experience is heavily upgraded with dual stereo speakers engineered in partnership with audio giants JBL, delivering clear, balanced, and loud distortion-free sound for media streaming and hands-free calls.
