Furthermore, the panel also supports 120Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch sampling rate and HDR10+ feature for smooth and dynamic view. The display can also achieve a peak brightness of up to 950 nits, which means the content should be pretty much visible even during the daytime. Furthermore, there is an in-display fingerprint sensor on the phone for biometrics. Although the display has Gorilla Glass 5 protection there is no mention of IP certification.
