Its main purpose is to provide a bit of entertainment and enable you to reach friends at a very affordable price tag.
As for specifications, it has 2/4GB of RAM, and 32/64GB of storage which can be expanded via a card slot. There are two cameras at the rear, including a 12MP main and 2MP depth sensor.
