It has a dual-tone LED flash. It has dual nano SIM slots and doesn’t have an expansion slot.
It has a stainless steel frame with 3D curved glass on four sides and comes with stereo speakers, one embedded into the earpiece and the other on the bottom. The phone is 7.45 mm thick and weighs 168 grams. It also has an infrared sensor on the top but it lacks a 3.5mm audio jack since it uses USB Type-C audio. The phone is also splash resistant.
It packs a 3350mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, 18W fast charging support. It starts at 2499 yuan (US$ 360 / Rs. 23,420 approx.) for the 6GB RAM with 64GB internal storage version and goes up to 2999 yuan (US$ 435 / Rs. 28,100 approx.) for the top-end ceramic 6GB RAM with 128GB storage version.
