The front camera is a 12 MP sixth-generation under-display camera (UDC), enhanced by the Front Camera Enhancement Algorithm 6.0, which ensures clear under-display selfies. The phone features a triple camera setup on the back: a 50MP primary lens at 35mm, a 50MP ultra-wide lens at 18mm, and a 64MP telephoto lens at 85mm. These cameras are supported by AI-enabled algorithms (NeoVision AI Photography System 2.0) and optical image stabilisation for all three lenses.
