The power button/fingerprint sensor and volume rocker are located on the right side of the device, while the 3.5 mm headphone jack is located on the top. The rear cameras are located at the upper left-hand corner of the phone, with the LED flash above. The bottom edge has the primary microphone and a downward-firing speaker next to the USB-C port. It is rated IP65/IP68 dust/water-proof up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. Black and white color options were shown at launch; Mint Green and Berry Blue finishes were later introduced in May.
