On the inside of the Ulefone Metal, you will find the 64-bit MT6753, which is an octa-core chip clocked at 1.3GHz. It gets a boost from 3GB of RAM, while the storage is listed at 16GB but expandable up to 128GB through a microSD card slot. All the usual suspects are present and accounted for in the connectivity department as well including 4G LTE and Dual SIM slots.
