The price is super aggressive in the Chinese market since it starts at Rs 1,599, which translates to around Rs 15,999 or $223.

Under the hood, there is an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SOC that’s based on the 8nm manufacturing process & has the Kryo 470 CPU with clock speed up to 2.2GHz. There is 6/8GB LPDDR4X RAM & 64/128GB UFS 2.1 storage. The storage is expandable via microSD card up to 256GB.
