In front, it has a 6.51-inch LCD (IPS) panel with HD+ resolution and a notch for the 8MP f/1.8 selfie shooter.

Inside, it is powered by the 2.3GHz 12nm Helio P35 octa-core processor with PowerVR GE8320 GPU by Taiwanese chip giant MediaTek. It is paired with 3GB RAM, 32GB expandable storage, and 5,000mAh battery capacity with micro USB 18W fast charging tech.
