Key product features

The 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate displays content with deep blacks and smooth motion. This is noticeable when scrolling through web pages, switching between apps, and viewing motion in videos.

The rear dual camera system includes a 48MP main camera and an 18MP front camera. The higher resolution of the main camera allows you to capture photos with a lot of image detail, while the front camera is designed for photo taking and video calling. The Apple A19 processor powers the apps and iOS system, and 5G allows you to connect to fifth-generation mobile networks where this support is available.

It is important to know

When choosing, it's important to consider not only storage space but also what you expect from your photos. A high number of megapixels alone doesn't tell you how your photos will look in different lighting conditions.

• Space for apps and content should be judged based on your own habits: a large collection of videos and photos can fill it up over time.
• If photo quality is very important to you, don't just rely on the number of megapixels before buying; also look for sample photos and hands-on reviews.

In practice

📱 Everyday use with multiple apps and content

🟢 Very convenient - the combination of storage space and a screen with a higher refresh rate supports comfortable everyday use, from browsing to viewing content.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is 256 GB enough space for photos, videos, and apps?

That's a lot of space for many uses, but the suitability depends on how many photos, videos, and apps you keep on your phone. A large video collection can fill up the space over time.

Does the megapixel resolution of a camera tell you how good the photos will be?

Not by itself. Other factors also affect the result, so it is useful to look at practical reviews and photo examples to make an assessment.
