It is important to know

When choosing, the most important thing is how you will actually use your phone: for smooth daily scrolling, storing content, or taking photos. So before buying, consider first and foremost how many photos and other files you want to store on your phone and whether the photo result is more important to you than the number of megapixels.

• If you record a lot and store your recordings on your phone, keep an eye on your space usage; 256GB should be judged based on your habits, not just the starting amount.
• The number of megapixels alone doesn't tell you what kind of photos you'll take. If a camera is your main reason for buying it, look at sample shots or independent tests before making a decision.
• The advantage of a faster display is most noticeable when scrolling through content and animations. It may be less noticeable for mostly basic use, such as calls and occasional messages.

In practice

📱 Frequent scrolling through apps and the web

🟢 Very convenient - the 120 Hz display supports smoother scrolling and animations, which is most noticeable when using apps frequently.

📷 Chosen mainly for the quality of the photos

🟡 Suitable with limitations - the dual camera is intended for photography, but the number of megapixels is not enough to evaluate the final result; check the sample shots for this priority.

🎥 Storing a lot of footage on your phone

🟡 Suitable with limitations - 256 GB should be evaluated based on the amount of recordings and other files you want to store locally. If you record frequently, keep track of how much space you have left.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Does 48 MP alone ensure quality photos?

No. The number of megapixels is just one piece of information about a camera and does not by itself tell you what your photos will be like in different conditions. For a better idea, check out sample shots or independent tests.

How do I decide if 256 GB of space will be enough for me?

Consider how many apps, photos, and videos you want to keep on your phone. If you record frequently and keep the recordings, you'll use up space faster.
