Gaming, photo editing, video streaming, everything gets handled seamlessly and effortlessly. There is nothing you will possibly find that will slow it down at all. It’s a pleasure to use in everyday tasks as well. Thanks in part to the 120 Hertz refresh rate of the screen, which just makes swiping around local buttery smooth.

And also the really neat, simple Android 11 based interface. Both of which are also featured on the 9 Pro. And we are looking at Android 11 with OxygenOS 11.3.3 here. The phone itself boasts an Octa-core (1×2.84 GHz Kryo 680 & 3×2.42 GHz Kryo 680 & 4×1.80 GHz Kryo 680 CPU and Adreno 660 GPU.
