On the back, you get a quad-camera setup led by a 48MP main sensor, joined by an 8MP ultrawide, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth lens. Front-facing selfies get a generous 32MP camera. Video tops out at 4K30, which is decent for the segment.
Battery capacity sits at 4500mAh with 18W fast charging, enough for a full day without much fuss. It runs Android 9 Pie with Funtouch on top, and comes in Crystal White or Admiral Blue. There's no NFC, so tap-to-pay isn't an option, but Bluetooth 5.0 and a 3.5mm jack are both present.
