Around its sides, there are the volume rocker, power button and SIM card tray. The earpiece finds its way to the notch-less top of the smartphone. At the back, the dual cameras are positioned at the top left corner.
Whenever you’re yearning for movies or videos, the 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution comes into action on this 6.39-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen. Due to the absence of notch, the 19.5:9 aspect ratio makes its presence known alongside 91% screen-to-body ratio.

As for the optics, you have a motorized 16MP camera that comes out of its hiding place when selfies are to be snapped. It also performs facial detection when the need arises.
