Since the handset is powered by MediaTek Helio P70 chip, it's further claimed to feature high-res depth engine, faster multi-frame noise reduction shot, anti-blooming engine and accurate AI detection. Smartphones are significantly banking on the buzzword Artificial Intelligence (AI) these days. Much like Realme 2 Pro, this one sports something the company calls Dewdrop notch. The notch has already become a common fad among the smartphone brands these days.
In terms of graphics performance, MediaTek's Helio P70 processor is claimed to be 13 per cent faster than its predecessor. On the photography front, it supports up to a 32MP main camera on the back as well as 21MP+16MP dual selfie cameras. But as Amazon suggests, this one seems to sport a single selfie camera.
