The device is represented by a Snapdragon 435 processor with 8 cores, operates at 3 GB RAM and an Adreno 505 video chip. The device copes with a number of tasks with a bang, but still a number of games will require lower graphics settings to get a stable image.

But if there is not enough permanent memory, you can take advantage of the possibility to install a microSD card, the volumes can be expanded up to 2 TB. But with the RAM, everything is not so smooth. 2 GB is sometimes very small, even if you open a couple of "heavy" tabs in the search engine "Google Chrome", and therefore it will not do without freezing.

The matrix resolution is presented in 1280x800 pixels. In fact, the indicators are meager, if we take into account that the cost of the tablet varies within 18 thousand rubles.
