Further, there’s a quad-camera setup on the back consisting of a 64MP primary sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide unit, a 5MP macro snapper, and a 5MP depth sensor. Whereas, on the front, there’s a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

On the connectivity front, the phone supports dual-SIM, 5G (12 5G bands), dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.2, GNSS, NFC, USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
