Storage can be expanded via a microSD card slot, allowing users to increase available space.

This battery capacity is typical for devices in this segment, aiming to provide moderate usage time.The rear camera setup consists of a single 8-megapixel sensor, while the front-facing camera uses a 5-megapixel sensor for selfies and video calls.

Additional features include standard connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The device likely runs on Android, although the specific version is not confirmed. Sensors on the phone include an accelerometer and proximity sensor, which are standard for basic smartphone functionality.
