    Pros

    • Powerful Performance: Equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, it can handle heavy apps, games, and multitasking smoothly.
    • Impressive Display: Features a 6.78-inch flat OLED screen with 1.5K resolution, 165Hz adaptive refresh rate (as low as 1Hz), vibrant colors, and sharp details. It also has a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner for quick and secure unlocking.
    • Large Battery: Comes with an 8000mAh battery, which is expected to provide long-lasting usage. It supports fast charging (80W or 100W depending on reports) and 5W reverse charging.
    • Unique Design: Boasts a transparent, cyber-inspired rear design in cyber purple, along with a bold 120x marking near the camera module, giving it a distinctive look.
    • Advanced Features: Includes IP68 water and dust resistance, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, an X-axis linear motor, and runs Android 16 out of the box.
    • Good Camera Setup: The rear camera system consists of a 50MP main sensor (with OIS), a 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP telephoto. The front camera is 16MP, and it supports features like AI scene optimization and 4K video recording.

    Cons

    • No Expandable Storage: The phone does not support memory cards, so users have to rely on the internal storage options provided.
    • No 3.5mm Headphone Jack: This may be inconvenient for users who prefer wired headphones and do not want to use adapters.
    • No Wireless Charging: Lacks wireless charging functionality, which is a common feature in many mid-to-high-end smartphones nowadays.
    • Flashy Design: The transparent rear and bold marking may not appeal to everyone, especially those who prefer a more minimalist look.
