The hardware is powered by a silicon-carbon battery, which despite the compact size of the device has a capacity of 5,000 mAh. The external OLED display measures 6.43 inches, has a FullHD+ resolution and offers a 120 Hz refresh rate. Inside is a 7.92-inch foldable OLED panel. The latter offers a QHD resolution, 120 Hz and native pen support.
