Hardware foundation

Each of its core is based on the architecture of A5 and can dynamically change its clock frequency depending on the degree of complexity of the problem being solved in the range from 200 MHz to 1.2 GHz. To perform a large list of daily tasks, its resources are enough. The problems with this smartphone will only be with the most fresh and most demanding toys. The central processing unit is complemented by the graphics accelerator Adreno 203. Its main task is the release of the processing power of the CPU from the processing of graphical information, and it is with this that it just copes well.
The amount of RAM in this case is1 GB, and the capacity of the built-in data storage - 8 GB. If necessary, you can significantly increase the size of the memory subsystem using an external memory card, the maximum size of which can be 64 GB. Sensitive element of the main camera at 5 megapixels, there is an autofocus system and lighting (this was already written earlier).
