While it does come in 2 colours, the Air White version showcases an Aurora Wings Design while the Air Black version offers a matte finish that is anti fingerprint. On the back the 50MP + 2MP monochrome dual rear camera is placed in a central camera bar complete with a Selfie Mirror. 

On the front, the 6.57-inch FHD+ AMOLED display offers up to 120Hz refresh rate with 4200 nits peak brightness so it looks clear and visible even under direct sunlight. There’s also a 50MP front camera and in-display optical fingerprint sensor for better security. 

Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 Turbo chipset it even manages to pack in a 6050mm² Airflow Vapor Chamber (VC) cooling system, so you can game on it with ease. Thankfully, it also has an IP69 dust and water resistance rating, so it can take a few spills as well.
