It is also confirmed to support segment-first 4K 120fps video recording, a feature that could appeal to content creators and enthusiasts.​

The design will include a fibreglass back and a new Electric Violet colour option, differentiating it from the standard 15R models. The display is a 1.5K AMOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and responsive visuals. The device is expected to come with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, running Android 16 with ColorOS 16.​
