Under the hood, the A1s packs a punch with a powerful 2.2GHz 6nm Dimensity 6020 processor, 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and ample storage options of 256GB or 512GB UFS 2.2.

The A1i offers a sleek design in Night Black and Phantom Purple. It features a slightly smaller 6.56-inch HD+ LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate for a balance between screen size and resolution. Powered by the same 2.2GHz 6nm Dimensity 6020 processor, the A1i comes with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of storage.
