It has a 5,500mAh battery that supports 90W fast charging. The handset comes with two USB-C ports (one at the bottom and one on the side) and both can charge simultaneously, reaching 90W speed. If you charge using just one port, it will be limited to 45W.

What's more is that you get dual front-facing speakers with Dolby Atmos and in-screen fingerprint scanner. Since this device is made with gamers in mind, you get a side-popping front-facing camera. It is meant to let you live stream while you are gaming and thus, is placed in a landscape orientation. Also, the power button is right on top of the pop-up camera.

As for the screen, you get a 6.92-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate and 720Hz touch sampling rate. The display also supports HDR10+ content. For gamers, the handset also has eight virtual keys or touch sensitive buttons.
