Display

• Physical size:
  • 5.5 inches
• Resolution:
  • 720 x 1440 pixels
• Pixel density:

  Pixel density - The pixel density of a display represents the number of pixels over an area of one inch. It’s measured in “pixels per inch”, or ppi. The higher the number, the more detailed and good-looking the display is.

• Technology:

  Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.

• Screen-to-body ratio:

  Screen-to-body ratio - Shows what part of the frontal area of a phone its screen occupies.

• Features:
  • Ambient light sensor, Proximity sensor

Camera

• Camera:
  • • 13 megapixels
  • Flash:
  • Aperture size:

    Aperture size - The aperture of a camera is the opening through which light travels before it reaches the camera sensor. The smaller the number is, the bigger this opening is, allowing for more light to pass.

  • Focal length (35mm equivalent):

    Focal length (35mm equivalent) - The lower (shorter) the focal length number, the wider the shot will be. Conversely, longer focal length cameras produce narrower frames, which can be used for telephoto (zoomed-in) purposes.

  • Hardware Features:
    • Second camera (8-megapixel, 120-degree viewing angle), Autofocus (Phase detection)
