For photography, the smartphone includes a 50MP primary rear camera paired with a 2MP secondary sensor, while a 32MP front camera handles selfies and video calls.

One of its standout features is the 7,050mAh battery, which supports 44W fast charging and is to last well beyond a full day on a single charge.
