As HYPEBEAST states, "Both come packed with a Snapdragon 820 processor with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, microSD slot, a 3,000mAh battery pack, 22.6MP camera and TV Tuner as standard."
In addition to this, each of the Star Wars phones comes equipped with franchise-themed emojis, wallpapers and apps -- allowing fans to fully immerse themselves in the galactic world.
