6.8" Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 200MP 8GB RAM 256GB 5000mAh
Why we recommend this

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, its 200MP main camera with Nightography captures detailed low-light shots, and the 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED offers smooth visuals. The 5000mAh battery supports 45W wired and reverse wireless charging, though its 233g weight makes it one of the least compact flagships. Best for photographers who prioritize high-resolution zoom and all-day battery over one-handed usability.
