Its Unisoc T610 processor and eMMC 5.1 storage accompany an AnTuTu result of 196,316, and performance is weaker than on most phones of its time. The 6.5-inch IPS LCD display has 720 × 1600 px resolution, 60 Hz refresh rate, 270 ppi and 400 nits brightness. Its refresh rate, pixel density and brightness are also weaker than on most.
The 13 MP camera has a 1/3.06-inch sensor, among the smallest of its time, and the camera overall is weaker than on most phones launched around the same time. Video recording is 1080p at 30 fps.
