Hardware
Display
The two variants have different display specifications. The LTE variant have a FHD+ (1080 × 2400) resolution, a SuperAMOLED display with an Infinity-U notch, and a 90 Hz refresh rate.[3] The 5G variant has a slightly downgraded screen specification: HD+ (720 × 1600) resolution, PLS display with an Infinity-V notch, and either 60 Hz (International) or 90 Hz (USA) refresh rate.[1]
Cameras
The rear camera setup for both variants features a quad-camera layout. The key differences between the variants are their main primary camera and front-facing camera.
The LTE variant features a 64 MP (f/1.8) main camera and a 20 MP (f/2.2) front camera.[3] The 5G variant features a 48 MP (f/1.8) main camera and a 13 MP (f/2.2) front camera.[1] For both devices, they have the same 8 MP ultrawide camera, 5 MP macro, and 5 MP depth sensors.
Video recording is limited to 1080p@30fps for the front camera for both variants, while the rear primary camera is limited to 1080p@30fps for the LTE variant and 4K@30fps for the 5G variant.
Processor and Memory
The LTE variant uses the MediaTek Helio G80 (12 nm) SoC with octa-core CPU, while the 5G variant uses the MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G (7 nm) SoC with octa-core CPU. Both variants offer RAM configurations from 4 GB to 8 GB and storage options of either 64 GB or 128 GB. The 5G variant uses UFS 2.1 for its internal storage,[4] while the LTE variant uses eMMC.
Software
The phones were pre-installed with One UI 3.1 based on Android 11. Like its predecessor, both models are eligible for two major Android OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates.
