It has a 6.4-inch screen that makes it quite manageable compared to many bulkier flagships on the market.

The phone is IP68 dust and water-resistant for 30 minutes at 1 meter water depth.
The main camera has metal to protect the camera from the edges.
It is made from high-grade plastic that provides an impressive feel in the hand and the back is both exceptional and glossy. The body has a thickness of 8.1mm.

At the bottom, there is a microphone, USB type-C slot, speaker grill and SIM card slot. The 3.5mm jack is not given there.
On the right-hand side, it has a dedicated power on-off button and a volume up and down button. It has in-display fingerprint sensor.
