Recently, the brand released teasers featuring colour options, which include Velvet Red, Cosmic Blue, Black, and White. It's worth noting that these options vary slightly from the Chinese models.

The Pro Max features a slightly larger secondary display, measuring 2.9 inches compared to the 2.7-inch screen on the smaller device. Under the hood, the Pro Pro is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor, while the Pro Max utilizes the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.

In terms of storage, both models come with options for up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage.
