In addition, official teasers showing the exterior of the models have been released, and the recognizable design of the S50 series is evident.
In one of the images, you can notice the side profile of the series is made of metal with a similar aerospace technology finish. Another image reveals that the smartphones will get a triangular rear camera housed in a square module with rounded corners, a design reminiscent of the structure on the iPhone.
