The front is dominated by the same 6.8-inch AMOLED (FHD+ 120Hz) which features an under-display camera (UDC) for the 12MP selfie cam which now features a new enhancement algorithm for clearer selfies.

The AI enhancements are carried over to the cameras with the NeoVision AI Photography System 2.0.
