At the heart of the smartphone is the Unisoc SC9863A processor, which works in conjunction with 4GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. A 13-megapixel main camera and a 5MP front-facing camera are responsible for the shooting capabilities.

The smartphone runs Android 14 (Go Edition) operating system, and is powered by a 5000 mAh battery with support for 10-watt charging. The list of features is complemented by a fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button, as well as the IP54 dust and water resistant body.
