The smartphone runs on MagicOS 10.0 based on Android 16, powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 Enhanced Edition chipset. It pairs this processor with 8GB of RAM and offers storage configurations of either 256GB or 512GB. Running MagicOS 10.0 based on Android 16 indicates an emphasis on system stability and extended support for users in China.

  • Resolution: 2640 x 1200
  • Peak Brightness: 6,000 nits
  • Processor: Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 Enhanced Edition
  • RAM: 8GB

A standout feature is the massive 8,560mAh battery, which supports 90W wired fast charging to replenish power quickly. The display measures 6.79 inches with an AMOLED panel delivering a resolution of 2640 x 1200 and peak brightness up to 6,000 nits. Imaging capabilities include a 50-megapixel rear camera with electronic image stabilization and an 8-megapixel front-facing sensor.

Durability is a core selling point, as the device carries IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K water and dust resistance ratings. Connectivity options include dual-SIM 5G support, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC for contactless payments. These specifications ensure the phone remains functional in harsh environments while maintaining modern connectivity standards.
