Weight How much the phone itself weighs.	135 g (grams) 4.76 oz (ounces)

Screen

Screen size How big the phone display is diagonally (measured in inches/millimeters). The screen size varies from phone to phone. There are small phones with screens of 4 inches to very large phones with screens of 5.8 inches.	5.2 " (inches) 132.1 mm (millimeters)
Display area Of the full size of the phone, how much space does the Display area cover (measured in percentage [%])	67 %
Type Detailed information about the type of display used by the smartphone. There are a few display times such as - LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) - IPS-LCD (In-Plane Switching Liquid Crystal Display) - OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) - AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) The best one is an OLED/AMOLED screen because they consume less power than the LCD ones and the color/pixel density is greater on them.	Super Amoled
Resolution This is the pixel number that a display or a camera sensor has (refers to the digital image of the phone). If the phone has a higher resolution, that means that it has more pixels. If you have more pixels then they can provide the display with the ability of more visual information. So, simply put, the higher the resolution, the better images your phone will be able to give you. The best resolution a phone can have is 4K, Ultra HD (3840 x 2160).	1080x1920 px
Pixel density How much pixels are residing on the display. They are measured in pixels per inch, or PPI. The density of a pixel can be calculated if you divide the pixel resolution in diagonal by the diagonal size of a display. The more pixels you have the better the picture quality your phone will give off.	2x eXtra High density 424 ppi (pixels per inch) 166 ppcm (pixels per centimetre)
Features Refers to what the phone is capable of, its services and what applications it can offer you.	Capacitive 2.5D curved glass screen Scratch resistant Multi-touch

Camera

Main camera

Primary camera resolution This is the camera placed on the back of the phone. It's resolution is measured in megapixels (MPX) and the word mega means million. The higher megapixel count you have the better. Nowadays the average megapixel count on a primary camera is 10-12 MPX. The highest megapixel count a phone has to this day is 41 Megapixels.	13 Mpx (megapixels)
Flash type Refers to what type of flash the device uses. The most common camera flashes are Xenon, LED and Dual LED. The Xenon flash is mostly used for videos, and the LED flash is mostly used for taking pictures, because it only illuminates a small area.	LED
Sensor Detailed information about the model of the sensor used by the device's camera. There are 2 types of camera sensors: CCD (charged coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor). CCD sensor are now older and a bit outdated. The CMOS sensors are more efficient, they require much less power, and are performing better for high-speed burst modes.	Unknown Unknown
Sensor type	CMOS
Aperture The Aperture of a lens shows us how much light goes through the lense. The bigger the aperture the more light goes through, unlike a small aperture which lets less light in. The Aperture is measured in f-stops. The larger the aperture the smaller the f-stop number.	f/2.2
Slow motion video It is measured in FPS or Frames Per Second. Slow motion refers to the effect of slowing down time. This is achieved in two ways. The first is overcranking which is achieved by taking the normal speed of 10 frames/s and is projected with 30 frames/s. This is slow overcranking. The second is achieved in post production and is less likely to be a feature on a device.	30 fps (frames per second)

Front camera

Selfie camera resolution This is the camera placed on the front of the phone and it is usually used to take "selfies", video calls, face unlock, etc. The average for a selfie camera is 3-5 MPX.	8 Mpx (megapixels)
