When testing the iron productivity Antutu result exceeded the mark of 50 thousand. Points. Suffice user expects a solid result not only in synthetic tests, but in real-world scenarios using the machine. Trivial tasks are performed with the notable smoothness and speed.

But the memory to store applications and other – 16 GB, of which 10.8 GB is available. For your favorite application of this is enough.
