Coming to other specs, the 5.2-inch phone packs in an HD Super AMOLED display, and a 13 MP camera at the back and the front. The phone has a 3,000 mAh battery encased in a metal chassis.The Exynos 7870 is responsible for the fireworks and is coupled with the Mali-T830 GPU. The phone has a fingerprint sensor at the front.
