Design and Display
You have in the Freetel Ice 2 Plus a smartphone that looks more like the popular offerings on the market than its smaller brother. On the front, it appears like some of the mid-range offerings out there with its curvy touch. It’s the plastic body that may give it away.
Freetel Ice 2 Plus sports a large 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. A pixel density of 267 pixels per inch is not bad for decent wide-angle viewing. There is 2.5D curved glass here.
Camera and Storage
