Spec glossary

Sub-6 is the 5G you use daily — good speed, wide coverage. mmWave is ultra-fast but only works near dedicated antennas.

Every pixel emits its own light, so blacks are truly black and contrast is effectively infinite. Uses less power with dark themes.

Peak charging power. 65W refills roughly half the battery in 15 minutes; sustained speed matters more than the headline number.

A SIM built into the phone. Add or switch plans in software — no physical card, and several profiles can live side by side.

Chemically strengthened cover glass that resists scratches and drops. Higher generations (Victus 2, Armor) survive rougher falls.

Dust-tight and survives about 1.5 m of fresh water for 30 minutes. IP69 adds protection against high-pressure jets.

Panel tech that lets the refresh rate drop as low as 1Hz when the screen is static — big battery savings on always-on displays.

Battery capacity. Bigger usually lasts longer, but the screen and chipset efficiency decide real-world endurance.

The short-range chip behind tap-to-pay, transit cards and instant pairing. Essential for Google Wallet and Apple Pay.

Optical stabilisation — the lens physically counteracts hand shake for sharper low-light photos and steadier video.

How OLED screens dim by flickering. Higher PWM frequencies (1,920Hz+) are gentler on flicker-sensitive eyes.

Working memory for open apps. 8 GB comfortably holds everyday multitasking; more mainly helps gaming and heavy camera use.

The physical size of the camera sensor. Bigger sensors gather more light — the main reason flagship night shots look cleaner.

A dedicated zoom lens. Optical zoom keeps full detail; digital zoom just crops the image and loses sharpness.

The storage speed standard. UFS 4.0 installs apps and saves 4K video noticeably faster than UFS 2.2.

The newest Wi-Fi standard. Lower latency and faster speeds on compatible routers; Wi-Fi 6E is still plenty for most homes.
