In an Ifixit teardown of the device the Step 12 we can see the following comments: "Samsung KMVYL000LM Multichip Memory Package, which we believe to house 512 MB of RAM in addition to the main processor." While the device has 1G of RAM, the SOC is probably in this chip package through techniques like package on package or using wire bonding to put different chips together in a single package.

Software configuration

The booloader of this device have two software interface to load code:
  • The Fastboot interface can be used after holding the volume-down, volume-up and power key combination while powering up the device.
  • The Heimdall/odin interface can be used after holding the volume-down and power key combination while powering up the device.
