Under the hood, it is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset paired with up to 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. It comes with a dedicated microSD card slot for additional storage.

Its major highlight is the massive 7,000mAh battery that comes with support for 18W fast charging support. This is a 1,000mAh increase over the predecessor’s 6,000mAh battery. The smartphone runs on HiOS based on Android 11 out of the box.
