The device weights at 262 grams and comes with IP67 water and dust resistance rating with MIL-STD-810 certification, which re-affirms that the smartphone can withstand extreme weather conditions without any hassle.
The smartphone comes with a dual SIM card solution, where, the first SIM card slot can accept a normal SIM with 2G/3G/4G network capability and the second slot is reserved for the satellite network. Additionally, the device comes with GPS, BeiDou, and GLONASS navigation support with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC connectivity.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 is the chipset that powers the smartphone with 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. The device has an 8 MP primary camera and a 2 MP selfie camera. The main camera can shoot standard pictures and can also record 1080p videos @30fps.
A 3800 mAh battery powers the Thuraya X5-Touch, and the smartphone runs on the Android 7.1 Nougat OS (stock Android) with all the necessary features that an Android smartphone should offer.
