Known Issues & Fixes
| Issue | Solution / Fix |
|---|---|
| Some users reported the webcam quality (720p) felt dated compared to rivals, especially for video calls. | Not fixable via firmware; an external USB webcam is the practical workaround for users needing sharper video quality. |
| A number of users with the OLED display configuration reported noticeably shorter battery life compared to the standard FHD+ panel. | Not a defect; OLED panels consume more power than IPS at high brightness, an inherent tradeoff of choosing that display option. |
