- Its 5.5-inch AMOLED display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, delivering sharp visuals at approximately 401 ppi.
- Powered by the Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10 chipset, it utilizes an octa-core 2.2 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and a PowerVR G6200 GPU, ensuring smooth performance with 3GB of RAM across its storage options.
