The 64-megapixel telephoto lens is characterized by a three-fold optical zoom, which makes capturing distant objects much easier, and the 48-megapixel wide-angle photo module does not fail either. The main sensor of the same 48 megapixels is equipped with hybrid stabilization and optimized software, even evening photography of dynamic events will not be difficult. Small details are easily seen when cropping. Stereo speakers cope with their responsibilities with dignity, you can comfortably watch your favorite videos and even listen to instrumental music. NFC contactless payment, 5G support - all this is also present, but there is no wireless charging, and moisture protection had to be abandoned due to the form factor.
