Design and Display
Going for a rear metallic rear cover is a good thing making it much more durable and also makes it feel more premium when handled. In addition, the metal is also brushed to provide more grip to avoid slipping off your hands. You’ve got the usual thick bezels around the screen from before the minimal bezel age. The rear is a bit empty except for a big-eyed camera with flash beside it at the left corner and KXD branded at the bottom.
The smartphone follows the budget book on this one with an average sized semi-crisp screen. Certainly not bezel-less, not even close with a chunk of bezels on the sides and at the vertical ends. For the sake of being cheap, you’re supplied a 960 x 480 pixel resolution display with a size of 5.5-inch.
Battery and Camera
