Display and Camera
From the look of things, the Leagoo Alfa 5 is built for impressive viewing. It comes with a 5-inch IPS display with an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels for a pixel density of about 294 ppi. This screen promises amazing viewing quality, especially considering the technology used.
As for the snappers, the Alfa 5 is kitted with a conspicuous 8-megapixel main camera with an f/2.8 aperture and LED flash on the rear. This is accompanied by a 5-megapixel front-facing shooter for high-resolution selfies.
Hardware and Software
In terms of the hardware, the Leagoo Alfa 5 is driven by a quad-core Spreadtrum SC7731 processor clocked at a speed of 1.2 GHz and paired with a Mali 400 GPU.
Leagoo claims this processor delivers ‘super fast speed’ while also letting you run multiple apps and complex games without problem. However, you may have to discount those claims when you realise the phone only offers 1 GB of RAM.
Onboard storage is 8 GB, expandable by up to 32 GB via a microSD card slot. The Alfa 5 boots its maker’s LEAGOO OS1.1 which is based on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system.

The Leagoo Alfa 5 offers dual SIM card slots (Micro SIM) so that you can have separate lines for work and family on the same device.
The 8.9mm thick smartphone offers microUSB with USB OTG, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n for connectivity. It supports tri-band 3G WCDMA in addition to its quad-band GSM network compatibility. The Leagoo Alfa 5 is offered in white, black and gold colours.
