Tearing the phone apart, the Snapdragon 675 SoC is positioned at the phone’s core to command sleek operations. It works with an Octa-core 2.0GHz Kryo CPU and Adreno 612 GPU for speeding up phone functions and graphics dealings respectively.

There’s a 4GB RAM attached to the device for smooth multitasking actions. A higher variant of the smartphone works with a 6GB RAM. However, both variants have the same 64GB storage that’s expandable to 256GB through MicroSD card usage.
