Lenovo S5 Pro GT Hardware and Software
Inside the Lenovo S5 Pro GT is the Snapdragon 660 doing all the work with an octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz alongside an Adreno 509 GPU. The device comes with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and two storage options; 64GB and 128GB. Both storage are expandable via the second SIM slot which doubles as a microSD card slot.
