Notes
Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 octa-core 2GHz, 2GB/32GB (~24GB usable), expandable. 3,000mAh non-removable, up to 40h talk / 360h standby. 5MP camera, 480p video. Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, BT 5.0, mobile hotspot. Has a web browser, email and a small app store - dumber than a smartphone mostly because the hardware and carrier lock keep it basic. 109x59x21.3mm, 155g. No charger in box.
