Design and Display
Pulling the mobile phone closer, the enveloping plastic material is as smooth as expected. The only obstruction to its free-flow is the camera protrusion and LED flash. On the right side, the volume rocker and power button are stationed for their respective duties.
The 5.5-inch IPS LCD looks too small for a smartphone in this dispensation. Slightly thick bezels appearing round it also limit the screen estate. However, 18:9 aspect ratio still makes its presence known, as well as HD+ resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels.
Battery and Camera
The duration of the smartphone is determined by the 3,000mAh battery. There’s no support for Fast Charging technology, so you’ll wait for a few hours before the battery juice get refilled after being drained.
The standard model of this android phone snaps pictures with an 8MP camera and f/2.0 aperture. In addition, PDAF and LED flash are at bay to help out in deficient conditions. In the higher variant, every feature remains the same save the pixel quality – 13MP. Up front, a modest 5MP shooter sits at the top bezel for selfie captures.

In the hardware region, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC serves as the dictator of operations on the smartphone. It packs four Cortex-A53 cores that clock 1.4GHz speed.
Meanwhile, the higher model works with a slightly better Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC. Contrary to the other chip, it’s loaded with an octa-core 1.4GHz CPU. The standard edition is fused with a 16GB ROM while the other model bags 32GB ROM with expandability.
