There is also an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory (the latter can be expanded). And of course, it’s worth saying about a 3000 mAh battery.

There is phase detection autofocus and flash. The resolution of the front camera is 8 megapixels, and there is also a flash here.ASUS ZenFone Go TV G550KL 16GB
