Look at the package of SoC chip. On top of the package is printed
identifier 88F3720. On the last line should be one of the string:
C080, C100, C120, I080, I100 which identifies frequency
(080 = 800 MHz, 100 = 1 GHz, 120 = 1.2 GHz)

Can you check what is printed on A3720 SoC package?

This is value set by firmware file which you have started.
