As per the listing on Geekbench, the Asus X00RD has 1GB RAM and Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 1.40 GHz quad-core processor. The handset is based on the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system. From the specs, we expect this Asus device might be an entry-level smartphone. Since the phone comes with entry-level specs like 1GB RAM, it is widely expected that the Asus X00RD will be an Android Go smartphone.
