Is the wooden back real wood and how durable is it?

Yes, the Nordic Wood version uses genuine wood veneer. It is coated with a special layer that makes it water and wear-resistant while preserving the wood's texture and feel.

A depleted battery can be charged to 50% in about 7 minutes, and a full charge takes approximately 18-22 minutes, depending on temperature.

Is the phone waterproof?

Yes, the device has an IP68 certification, meaning it can withstand submersion in water up to 1.5 meters deep for up to 30 minutes.

What is the camera's zoom capability?

The phone features a 64MP periscope telephoto lens, offering 3x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom (Super Zoom).

Does the screen support Always-on Display?

Does the device support 5G network in Estonia?

Yes, the device supports all 5G frequencies used in Estonia (n28, n78, etc.) on all major operator networks.

Screen Replacement

Hard

220–280€Estimated cost

The curved screen is strongly glued to the frame. Replacement is expensive and requires precision.

Charging Port Repair

Medium

60–85€Estimated cost

The USB-C port is on a separate daughterboard, simplifying replacement compared to ports soldered to the motherboard.

Original spare parts are available at authorized service centers; the wooden back panel is harder to find.
