Performance and Software

Under the hood, the device runs on a Qualcomm MSM8953 Snapdragon 625 chipset and an octa-core CPU clocked at 2.0 GHz. The Adreno 506 GPU handles graphic tasks smoothly, catering well to general usage and gaming on modest settings. Originally shipped with Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), it is upgradable to Android 8.0 (Oreo), allowing users to enjoy a more updated Android experience. With 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (expandable via a microSDXC card slot), it performs efficiently for everyday tasks, but heavier apps may challenge its dated hardware.
