The main shooter on the back is a 50MP Ultra Steady camera with sensor-shift OIS, RGBW-Pro technology, a 6P+1G lens, an 86.4-degree FoV, 1 micropixel size, and a 1/1.5" sensor. It is adjoined by a 108MP ultra-wide and macro camera with sensor-shift OIS, PDAF, and a 114.5-degree FoV. Finally, there's a 2MP depth sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. They are all aided by a laser focus sensor. Sensor-shit OlS is a 3D dynamic image stabilization system that uses 52% lighter movable parts with a dual drive to compensate for shakes up to 5000 times per second. Both the 50MP main and 108MP ultra-wide cameras support 4K video shooting.

On the front, there's a 32MP camera for selfies with an 80.6-degree FoV, a 1/1.28-inch sensor, an f/2.45 aperture, and a 0.8-micron pixel size. It is aided by a micro-slit dual LED flash. The front and main rear camera support Dual Portrait video.

Again on the chipset, the Dimensity 8050 SoC ticking under the hood has a 3GHZ octa-core CPU and 8GB of RAM plus 512GB of built-in storage.
