The chip called a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) generates random numbers using quantum physics. Unlike ordinary random number generators, QRNGs generate random numbers. These are used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data such as fingerprints and passwords.

The phone features a triple rear-camera setup which includes a 50MP primary rear sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens and a 5MP macro sensor. For clear selfies and video calls, the device has a 32MP front-facing shooter.
The device packs a 5,000 mAh battery which supports 25W fast charging. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and USB-C Type. It also comes with IP64 Dust and Water Resistance, accelerometer, compass/ magnetometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor and fingerprint sensor.
