Display-wise, the device is occupied by a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen. There is a Dot-hole cut-out that houses the 32MP front-facing selfie snapper followed by a dual-LED flash. 

The mouthpiece is also placed at the top which is something interesting if you consider how slim the chin at the top is.

Down at the bottom of the screen, you will find the multitasking button followed by the home button and the exit button.
