The phone also features a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED (QHD) display, and a 3300mAh battery. Given the fact that the smartphone is a Tango-ready device, it comes with three-cameras. The main camera on the rear offers a 23-megapixel Sony IMX 318 sensor with OIS and 4K video recording support and other two for motion tracking and depth sensing. Plus, it has an 8-megapixel rear-facing shooter on the front. The device runs Android 7.1 Nougat.
