The chipset and memory describe the hardware configuration. They do not establish measured speed, gaming performance or current software support.

Cameras

Rear camera: 8 MP, f/2.0, AF; Rear video: 1080p, 30fps; Front camera: 2 MP, f/2.4.

These are the recorded camera specifications. Image quality and stabilisation cannot be judged from resolution alone.
