It has minimal side bezels, a thicker bottom bezel, and a pill-shaped punch-hole cutout in the top left corner for the dual front-facing camera. The in-display fingerprint sensor is able to unlock the device in just 0.27 seconds.

The back has a quad-camera setup in a vertical layout next to an LED flash.
