As flagship devices, both phones rock a Snapdragon 888 processor that is paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 internal storage. Both also sport a 120hz AMOLED display, though the vanilla model gets a 6.5-inch Full HD+ panel while the Pro version gets a bigger 6.7-inch Quad HD+ panel.
Both phones also have a 2-megapixel depth sensor to go with the two huge main rear cameras, though the Pro model adds a 8-megapixel telephoto snapper into the mix. While both phones come with Hasselblad’s custom camera algorithm and can shoot 8K30 and 4K120 video, the Pro model adds a Pro mode feature that lets you shoot 12-bit RAW images–a first for a smartphone.
Powering both phones is a 4500mAh battery with 65w wired charging. The vanilla model gets 30w wireless charging, while the Pro model steps things up with 50w wireless charging. For software, you get Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 out of the box, though China models will come with ColorOS instead.
