Corning Gorilla Glass 6 is mounted on both sides of the phone to shield it from falls. Around the back, the triple cameras are positioned at the centre while the LED flash sits on top of the array.

The IP65/IP68 dust and waterproof ratings are boldly carried by the smartphone. Protection against dust and water droplets is definitely something you’d expect from a top-tier device. There’s also ingress protection as conferred by the MIL-STD-810G-516.7 compliant cover cases specifically for the device.
