The front of the A5 Pro is all about that stunning 6.7-inch screen:
- FHD+ AMOLED panel that makes colors pop
- Smooth 120Hz refresh rate for butter-smooth scrolling
- Gets bright enough (1200 nits) to handle sunny outdoors
- Special 2160Hz dimming to keep your eyes happy at night
Power Under the Hood
Here’s where things get interesting:
