[6] The smartphone features an upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC consisting of 2 performance 2.2GHz Kryo 360 and 6 efficient 1.7GHz Kryo 360 backed by a new Adreno 616 GPU and sports 6  GB or 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, expandable to 512 GB via a MicroSD card, through a dedicated SD card slot.
