Excellent, the only downside is its battery. If we roughly estimate, the battery lasts around 10 hours with heavy usage. Otherwise, everything is quite good.

Pros

  • Water resistant
  • Stereo sound

Cons

  • 4500 Battery

Display

The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
Display type

OLED/AMOLED

The type of technology used in the display.
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
resolution

1080 x 2400 px

Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
The frequency at which the display is refreshed (1 Hz = once per second). A higher refresh rate results in smoother UI animations and video playback.
The touch sampling rate is the speed at which a screen can register your touch input and respond by rendering the next frame. Also called the touch refresh rate.
A nit is a measurement of the light that a display emits, equal to one candela per square meter. Brighter displays ensure a screen's contents are easy to read, even in sunny conditions.
