On the front side, it houses a punch-hole display with stereo speakers on the top and bottom sides. The back is made out of plastic. There is no headphone jack though you get an IR blaster. The phone weighs 195 grams.
Coming to the display, the device is flaunting a 6.67″ FHD+ 120Hz E4 AMOLED panel protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Considering the E4 display, the contents should look vivid and vibrant. Also, the peak brightness is set at 1300nits for that panel. It lacks a dynamic refresh rate like its predecessor. The punch hole houses a 20MP selfie camera.
