Performance
internal storage
128GB
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
RAM
4GB
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of memory used to store working data and machine code. Having more RAM is particularly useful for multitasking, allowing you to run more programs at once or have more tabs open in your browser.
CPU speed
8 x 2 GHz (MediaTek MT8788)
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.

•It’s good for watching vids, and scrolling through the web, and the build quality isn’t bad. And the camera isn’t the worst around. Also the glass is quite good in my opinion. But while gaming, the bezels are a bit too small for my fingers to clutch with. Speaking of gaming, it really isn’t the best. Also I caught some lags and glitches during gameplay.

I bought this when it first came out so that a would have something to play games and and watch TV. Straight out of the box it ran pretty okay but still was studdery and slow. It can barely run COD but still manages to get some decant low graphic gameplay. I ended up jailbreaking it because the fireOS is disgusting to use and had far too many ads. Android seems to run a tad better but still not great. If i where you i would save my money and get something more powerful unless you plan on using it for its intended purpose which is to read books.
