LTPO OLED panel, offering 120 Hz refresh and an impressive peak brightness up

significant hardware upgrade, albeit slightly under traditional “flagship”
chips.

& Charging
·
Equipped with a 5,150 mAh
battery, it supports blazing-fast 100 W wired, wireless, and reverse charging.

Phone 3 as one of the industry’s most future-proof devices.
