The smartphone comes with a 13MP camera at the back with an f/2.0 aperture and a front 8MP camera with a similar aperture size as the rear unit. The battery is rated at 3,000mAH and connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, A-GPS, 4G LTE and a microUSB port. It runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the company’s Emotion UI skin on top.
