The back surface is covered with either plastic or wood and has a fingerprint scanner installed on it. The filling is Snapdragon 410 from Qualcomm, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage.

Price - 23,000 rubles (plastic) and 29,000 rubles (wood)

In their manufacture, titanium, rubber and carbon fiber were used from additional materials.
