CPU369 MHz ARM11 processor identified by GSMArena's exact-model production review–
Memory128 MB installed SDRAM from GSMArena, distinct from free application memory. Maker publishes up to 110 MB internal user memory; the configuration records that user-accessible capacity.Maker datasheet lists up to 74 MB internal dynamic memory and up to 78 MB internal NAND flash. Configs record the latter, not the included 8 GB removable card. Installed RAM is left unpublished; dynamic/free memory is not treated as installed RAM. GSMArena reports a different user-available figure, just under 85 MB.
Storage typemicroSD expansion up to 8 GB in the maker launch sheet; optional card capacity is not built-in storagemicroSD expansion; 8 GB microSD card supplied in the original maker launch package. No inferred maximum card size.
