Memory and Internal

Most often, people overlooked the hardware aspect while buying a new phone. But if you are looking for decent processing power, then the 4nm Mediatek Dimensity 8200 chipset is not bad for normal usage. Moreover, the processing speed can go up to 1×3.1GHz cloaking speed, which is awesome for playing advanced games and rendering top-notch multitasking aid.

As far as the visuals and graphics levels are concerned, everything is precisely managed through the Mali-G610 MC6 GPU. With this, you don’t have to worry about visual resolution support.

The 48MP primary lens takes the lead and renders amazing colors and contrast support during the real-time photography test. You won’t find that many grains in the daylights.

Even after pixel peeping, you won’t see that much difference. But, the lowlight images are average if you are using the standard mode. However, once you have activated the night mode, the noise will be reduced to some extent. With this, you can expect decent photography. Following this, the 8MP ultra-wide lens will provide an immersive dynamic range with the proper color tone, while the 2MP macro lens will bring proper close-up details.

On the other hand, the video recording aspect will eventually go up to 4K resolution with the native camera.

You can unlock the full potential of this device by enabling always 120Hz refresh and full brightness with a few hours of gaming, you will roughly obtain five hours’ worth of screen time.
