It was built with a metal frame and emphasizes durability, carrying an extensive set of certifications: IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K, ensuring strong resistance to dust, water immersion, high-pressure jets, and harsh environments.

The front part is dominated by a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz, making it suitable for gaming and smooth everyday interactions. The panel reaches up to 1,800 nits of peak brightness, improving visibility in outdoor conditions.
