The handset also has a <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2025\/09\/24\/qualcomm-announces-snapdragon-8-elite-gen-5-mobile-processor\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor<\/a>, starts at 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and goes up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a quad 50MP camera setup with a trio of shooters on the back, including a primary, telephoto and ultrawide, as well as a selfie camera.
