And Then There’s the Camera…

Most notable feature of this phone is simply the camera. There is only one set of lenses, and they can move to the subject. Therefore, you can have your best camera shooting, and watch from the screen of the phone.

This phone holds a Sony IMX686 64 MP image sensor, capable of up to 16MP pixel size. It’s F1.8 aperture can give give you a good field of depth, along with letting in enough light to get shots during the day or evening.
