It is powered by the low-end MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor, which means you shouldn’t be looking at this phone if you’re a gamer.

While you may not be getting the best values, you’ll be ahead of the curve with 5G connectivity – especially if you live in a metro where 5G is expected to launch later this year.
