Under the hood is a 1.7GHz octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 710 chipset (4 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and 4 cores clocked at 1.7GHz) which is clubbed with 4GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage expandable with a microSD card (up to 512GB). The device runs on EMUI 9.1 on top of Android Pie, which now feels old-school.
