The phone packs 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot for expanding the storage capacity up to 256GB. Coming to the camera, there’s a dual-camera sensor with a 16-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. On the front side, the phone comes equipped with a 16-megapixel shooter for taking selfies.
