The phone has a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen which a centre punch-hole. Since it has up to 950 nits brightness, the screen is bright even outdoors, and the 100% DCI-P3 and sRGB wide color gamut offers vibrant colours. It has 120Hz refresh rate screen and up to 240Hz touch sampling rate. There is also 2160Hz PWM dimming to avoid flickering in low brightness.
Inside the tiny punch-hole, there is a 32-megapixel camera with Omnivision OV32C sensor. The earpiece grill is present on the top edge that doubles up as a secondary speaker.
It has an ultra narrow bottom bezel. The phone features an in-display fingerprint scanner. It runs Android 13, and the phone will get two years of OS and three years of security updates.
It is powered by Dimensity 7050 SoC, compared to Dimensity 1300 in the Reno8, but the Chinese version of the Reno10 has a Snapdragon 778G SoC which is slightly better than the Dimensity 7050 when it comes to gaming performance. The phone has 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 256GB UFS2.2 storage.
Coming to the button placements and ports, the power button is present on the right side along with the volume rockers. There is nothing on the left. The hybrid dual SIM slot, primary microphone, USB Type-C port and the loudspeaker grill are present on the bottom. The secondary microphone is on the top, along with an IR blaster and vent for the secondary speaker.
