The smartphone features an Exynos 7870 SoC consisting of 8 ARM Cortex-A53 backed by the Mali-T830 GPU and sports 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB internal storage, expandable to 256 GB via a MicroSD slot which can also be used for a second Nano-SIM. The device retains a non-removable battery like its predecessor, rated at 2350mAh. Its extra features, similar to Samsung's 2016 flagship's, include IP68 water resistance, Always On Display, and 3D glass backing with Gorilla Glass 4.
