Under the hood, the smartphone makes use of a 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 636 processor which is coupled with Adreno 509 GPU to render all the graphics. The device is available in 6GB of RAM and comes with 64GB/128GB of internal storage. The internal storage is further expandable up to 256GB via microSD card.
