Previous updates have also suggested the device to feature a 1.5K E7 AMOLED display with an optical fingerprint scanner, and a triple rear camera unit with a periscope telephoto lens. The UFCS certification of the device had also revealed that it will pack a 5000 mAh battery, likely with 120W fast charge support.
