The device now features a triple rear camera setup, with the depth sensor already removed from this generation. It has a 48 MP main with OIS, 8 MP ultrawide, and 5 MP macro. The front camera maintains a 13 MP sensor. Like its predecessor, It can record videos up to 4K@30fps at both rear and front.

Depending on the version, the phone features a slot for 1 SIM card and a microSD memory card up to 1 TB or a hybrid slot for 2 SIM cards.
