Under the hood, there is the MediaTek Dimensity 1300T SOC which is the latest flagship tablet SOC from MediaTek built on the 6nm process and has an octa-core CPU. This CPU has four Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.6GHz. In terms of storage, the Honor V7 Pro comes with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of 256GB of storage.
