Physical rear camerasiOne row per physical imaging camera. Sensor crops, optical-quality zoom modes, autofocus laser and depth scanners do not add photographic lenses. A colour or multispectral sensor is not a camera row, even when the maker gives it a megapixel figure. A depth camera with its own megapixel figure, such as a 2 MP depth camera, is a row with the depth role. A ToF or lidar scanner is not a row.

Printed page 149 identifies the service battery EB-BA566ABY. Its maker design label states rated 4905 mAh and nominal 19.13 Wh. Typical 5000 mAh and 19.5 Wh are separate. The exact EU EPREL fiche corroborates rated 4905 mAh. The illustrated label has Not For Sale and pre-certification placeholders.
