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

vivo says 144 Hz applies in gaming scenarios.

Google quotes 1400 nits for HDR and 2000 nits peak; contrast above 1,000,000:1. Because the corners are rounded, the visible area is slightly smaller than the 6.2-inch rectangle.

Peak values, not sustained brightness.

The manufacturer does not name the front glass.

The 200 mm-equivalent teleconverter is sold separately and is not in the box.

Editing features such as Audio Magic Eraser require the Google Photos app.
