Both will be available this fall, with the wired camera a bit cheaper at $218 (\u20ac200) than the $273 (\u20ac250) battery variant.

It\u2019s an 8.8-inch 2,560 x 1,600 IPS panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and listed at 500 nits of brightness. That makes it the biggest screen on pretty much any device in this category.
