Under the hood, it is powered by the UNISOC SC9863A octa-core processor with 8x Cortex-A55 cores up to 1.6GHz clock speed. This chip is still designed under the 28nm HPC+ processor technology, but Cortex-A55 is considered as fast for a budget chip. It is also paired with PowerVR GE8322 GPU, dual 4G LTE support, and AI capabilities.

Let's just hope that is proper heat-dissipating methods.

The RAM and storage are still unknown for now, but the handset has a rare 4,000mAh removable battery.

The device will also come with a 13MP + 2MP dual-cam with an LED flash and a 5MP selfie camera in the notch.

The rest of the missing information is still unknown for now. The handset is rumored to be priced around USD 100.
