How to use

Insert Nano SIM cards into the Dual‑SIM slots or expand storage with a MicroSD card. Adjust display brightness and the 120 Hz refresh rate in Settings for battery or performance priorities. Use the camera app to select photo or video modes; enable AI editing tools and TrueLens Engine features for improved results.

Recommendations

To maximise battery lifespan, avoid exposing the phone to high temperatures for long periods and use the included or certified 33 W charger. Enable adaptive display settings when not requiring maximum brightness or 120 Hz refresh rate to extend daily runtime. For best camera results, enable OIS and HDR where appropriate and keep the lens clean.
