Its 6.4 inch OLED display runs at 1080 x 2400 with a smooth 90 Hz refresh rate, making it well suited to everyday browsing, streaming and photography without pushing into the larger Pro model’s footprint. Power comes from Google Tensor with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, alongside Android 12 at launch and Google’s strong focus on on-device AI and security through the Titan M2 coprocessor. The dual rear camera system pairs a 50 MP main sensor with a 12 MP ultrawide, while the 8 MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. Rear video goes up to 4K at 60 fps, and Google also includes features such as optical and electronic stabilization, Cinematic Pan and Magic Eraser. A typical 4614 mAh battery, wired fast charging, wireless charging and Battery Share round out the package, with 5G, Wi Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and dual SIM support through nano SIM plus eSIM.
