This record covers the 12 GB model. Usable memory is lower than the label because the system reserves a share.

Usable space is lower than the label because of the system and preinstalled apps.

Capacity is chosen at purchase; there is no memory card slot. On the 128 GB model ProRes video is limited to 1080p at 30 fps.

vivo says 144 Hz applies in gaming scenarios.

ProMotion changes the refresh rate with content: it rises to 120 Hz for scrolling and supported games for smoother motion and drops for static content to save battery. Typical maximum brightness is 1000 nits, with 1200 nits peak for HDR; typical contrast is 2,000,000:1.
