It has a similar hardware design and software features to its high-end counterpart, the Galaxy A6.

It is equipped with Samsung's in-house 64 bit octa-core Exynos 7870 which is clocked at a maximum of 1.6 GHz.

Charging the phone's 3,000 mAh lithium-ion battery takes about 2.5 hours on its micro-USB port.

The phone comes with a single 13 MP rear camera with autofocus coupled with an LED flash.
