The phone is packed with various AI functions including a new and larger 'Thru Pool' cover screen and dual 50MP cameras which allows the phone to operate as a mini camcorder. One of the most notable features is the one that is striking first and foremost. The aforementioned Thru Pool replaces the limited circular display that was on the first generation. This is inspired by infinity pools as it covers most of the phone's upper back area. This also brings attention to the new camera system as it can also shoot wider angles.
