Anyway, this device also has 1.5 GB RAM, 8 GB expandable ROM and 2,600 mAh of battery capacity. It's also using an 8 MP rear camera w/ f/2.2 aperture, 5 MP f/2.2 selfie camera and runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
What's surprising here is the addition of LTE module which is unexpected for a phone that's using a lowly Spreadtrum chip.
