The back is made of leather imitation (faux leather), reminding us a lot of the Galaxy Note 3. The metal frame all around the handset is also a throwback to the Galaxy Note 4, while inside we find an octa core MediaTek MT6752 processor, a 64 bit unit clocked at 1.7 GHz. There’s also 2 GB of RAM, a Mali T760MP2 GPU, 16 GB of storage and a microSD card slot that supports up to 64 GB extra storage.
