There is a 13-megapixel rear camera sensor with 77-degree angle, and a 5-megapixel front sensor with 100-degree wide-angle lens. The smartphone runs Android 7.0 Nougat.
The phone has 32GB of inbuilt storage expandable via microSD card (up to 2TB). Connectivity options on the phone include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, and USB Type-B. Dimensions of the phone are 148.6x75.1x8.6mm and the weight is 172.3 grams. There is a 3000mAh battery under the hood.
