The Huawei house bets for its terminal for a dual-core Qualcomm MSM8230 Snapdragon S4 Plus dual-core 1.4 GHz processor, its GPU is an Adreno 305 and also includes 512 MB of RAM.

Its battery is 1, 700 mAh and its total mass is around 160 grams, with quite compact dimensions of 134 × 66.7 × 9.9 mm thick.
