It features an HD resolution, to enjoy multimedia content, even outside. It packs a quad-core Mediatek MT6737 chipset at 1.5 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of internal storage, expandable up to 128 GB through its integrated microSD card slot.
To match professionals' constraints and provide them with a maximum autonomy, the ARCHOS 50 Saphir flaunts a long life 5000 mAh battery. It also benefits from the Mediatek Pump Express Plus technology that cuts battery charge times in half
