The device runs on proprietary LightOS, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, promising longer battery life and durability with a user-replaceable 1800mAh battery.
It includes a metal frame, USB-C port, fingerprint ID, a clickable wheel for brightness control and activating the flashlight, IP54 water resistance, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC for contactless payments, GPS, and 4G LTE and 5G network support.
