The phone is configured with 4GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage \u2013 there is a microSD slot available.

If you want to use wireless headphones, the phone supports Bluetooth 5.0. Stereo speakers are also on board for music and videos.<\/p>\n<p>The Luma has a USB-C 2.0 port capable of delivering 18W to the 5,000mAh battery.
