Additionality, an Adreno 506 GPU is present which to a great extent manages the graphical requirements. A key aspect of the processing configuration of the device is the inclusion of Snapdragon 626 MSM8953 Pro chipset which adds to the performance level of the device.
A reset is suggested before gifting or selling a device, and in some cases for troubleshooting. You can do a factory reset or a hard reset.
