It is expected that the smartphone will feature a “2K” OLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, so the picture and interactions will be bright and smooth. Camera lovers will enjoy the improved system which comprises the main camera with Sony Lytia LYT-900 1-inch type sensor, 50, MP ultrawide lens using Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor, 50 MP close-range telephoto and backside 200 MP periscope telephoto lens with a 100x hybrid non-linear “AI” zoom.
