The outdoor figure is used only briefly in strong sunlight; normal use sits around 1000 nits.

Main camera—48 MP, 24 mm, ƒ/1.78; second-generation sensor-shift OIS; 24 MP and 48 MP photos

Sensor-shift stabilisation moves the sensor rather than the lens to counter hand shake; the default capture is 24 MP.
