It's essentially a Find X Super Flash Edition but with carbon fiber and Lamborghini-branded back, wireless headphones in the box, a few Lamborghini themes and 512GB internal memory.

If you don't take the notch into account, the device offers more usable screen space than the last generation and also has better screen-to-body ratio. The side bezels and the chin have shrunk, screen size has grown - from 5.99" to 6.26" and it's now taller as well - from 18:9 to...
