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

Cameras

Rear camera: 23 MP; Rear video: 2160p, 30fps; Front camera: 13 MP; Front video: 1080p, 30fps.

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