The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a 4nm chipset with an 8-thread CPU configuration spanning clock speeds of up to 3.3 GHz, using big.LITTLE and HMP technologies for efficient workload distribution across core clusters. Graphics are managed by the Adreno 750 GPU running at 900 MHz, with integrated graphics support and compatibility with DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenVG 1.2, and OpenCL 2, capable of driving one display. The system is equipped with 24GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800 MHz across two memory channels, a maximum memory bandwidth of 76.6 GB/s, and 1024GB of internal storage, with the maximum supported memory amount capped at 24GB. Cache is structured as 1MB L2 and 12MB L3, and the chipset carries a TDP of 12.5W, includes integrated LTE, TrustZone security, and supports multithreading and 64-bit processing. Benchmark results include an AnTuTu score of 2,186,467, Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core results of 2,213 and 7,325 respectively.

The main camera system uses three CMOS sensors at 50MP, 32MP, and 13MP with apertures of f/1.9, f/2.4, and f/2.2 respectively, offering 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilization. Autofocus is handled through phase-detection and touch autofocus, with continuous autofocus available during video recording; laser autofocus is not present. Video capture reaches up to 8K at 24fps with HDR10 recording support, and slow-motion video is also available. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed is not included, and RAW capture is not supported. The camera also offers burst mode, in-camera panoramas, timelapse, and a built-in HDR mode, while 360-degree panorama and 3D recording are absent. The flash setup consists of a single LED unit without dual-tone or RGB capability, and there is no front-facing flash. The 32MP front camera uses a single lens at f/2.5 and is positioned on the front bezel rather than under the display.

The device runs Android 14 and covers a solid range of privacy features, including clipboard warnings, location privacy options, and camera/microphone access controls, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are absent. App tracking can be blocked, and the system supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, and voice commands. Customization options include theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while notification controls and customizable notifications allow users to tailor their alert experience. On the productivity side, the OS supports split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, live text selection from images, sharing intents, widgets, and the ability to play games while they are downloading. Additional capabilities include multi-user support, a child lock, phone tracking, and a battery health check, though focus modes, Wi-Fi password sharing, app offloading, Quick Start, and desktop PC mode are not available. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided, while the platform itself is free and open source.

The device houses a 5500 mAh non-removable rechargeable battery with a built-in battery level indicator. Wired fast charging is supported at 65W, and wireless charging is available at 15W, with a charger included in the box. Reverse wireless charging is not supported.

The device includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, alongside three microphones for audio capture. Wireless audio codec support covers aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless, while LDAC is not available. There is no built-in radio.

The device supports 5G cellular connectivity with dual SIM capability, download speeds up to 10,000 Mbits/s, and upload speeds up to 3,500 Mbits/s. Wi-Fi coverage spans Wi-Fi 4 through Wi-Fi 7 (802.11n, ac, ax, and be), and Bluetooth 5.3 is included alongside NFC for short-range communication. A USB Type-C port handles wired connectivity, though there is no HDMI output and no external memory slot. Navigation is supported through GPS with Galileo, a compass, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer, while a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and motion or optical tracking are all absent. Biometric security is provided by a fingerprint scanner; 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present. Emergency SOS via satellite, crash detection, ANT+, DLNA certification, a stylus, and a built-in projector are also not included.

The device includes a video light for recording use, while the display is flat rather than curved and does not use sapphire glass or an e-paper panel.
