As for the camera department, you get a 48-megapixel primary sensor in the triple-camera setup, along with a 2-megapixel depth sensor and another 2-megapixel macro lens. Taking care of your selfie and video calling needs is an 8-megapixel snapper upfront.
The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, embedded in the power button. There’s also an IR blaster and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Connectivity options on the device include 5G SA/NSA, Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, and a USB Type-C port.
