On the front, the phone has a 24MP selfie camera of f/2.0 aperture.

In terms of specifications, the phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 system-on-chip, paired with 6GB or 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage configurations. The phone has a 6.3-inch screen of fullHD+ resolution, stretched in 18.5:9 aspect ratio. Like the Galaxy A7 (2018), the phone has a glass design and metallic chassis.
