Powering the tablet is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 685, a 6nm entry-level processor from TSMC. It comes with 8GB of RAM, which can be expanded virtually by another 8GB, though storage is capped at 128GB with no expansion option.

For cameras, the rear has an 8MP sensor with autofocus and an f/2.0 aperture, while the front houses a 5MP camera for selfies and video calls. As expected in tablets, the camera setup is pretty basic but should be fine for tasks like scanning documents and video conferencing.
