In keeping with its motto of digital detox, HDM also included software features such as detox mode, which limits access to social media and notifications when they become too much, so you can focus on other things, giving you more time to live undisturbed in the moment.
At the back, we get a triple camera setup consisting of a 108MP main camera with OIS, a 50MP 2x telephoto camera with 4x lossless zoom, and a 13MP ultra-wide angle. Selfies are provided by the 50 MP front camera. For video recording, the primary camera can shoot up to 4K 30fps video, while the selfie camera is limited to 1080p video recording. To complement your photography, you can also play with some nice features, including AI Capture Fusion technology that maximizes the details of the photos you take with it.
