This is also thanks to the low energy-consuming hardware configuration, having a beating heart MediaTek Helio G35, low-end processor suitable for those terminals that do not have to carry out “heavy” operations such as playing video games, opening spreadsheets or video editing operations. The only ones 3GB of memory RAM they will allow just enough multitasking of the different applications. The memory ROM gives 32GB it will run out in a whisper, forcing you to make use of one MicroSD in which you want to install several apps or save many photos / videos.
Regarding the latter, the photographic sector will offer shots that are barely acceptable since the main sensor from 13MP it will certainly not work miracles. Too bad for the panel 6.52 IP IPS LCD with resolution only HD+, with such a generous size one could at least aspire to FHD +. This choice was probably chosen in order to maintain an extremely low unit production cost. Speaking of connectivity, finally, the presence of the fingerprint scanner and the 3.5mm jack for connecting wired headsets. The 5G modem is missing, but the support for 4G LTE networks however, they ensure a considerable speed in the download / upload of photos / videos or any other type of data. All this for yourself 115€.
