Build and Design

With 8.45mm it’s Thin, lighter, and designed great. It does have a fingerprint scanner. To be absolutely frank, the built and design is more than the expected at this Price range. The build is light with 165gm in weight and is sturdy in nature.

Display

The display panel is a 5.5-inch. Colour reproduction, saturation and touch sensitivity and feel remain just as good, with excellent black levels and contrast ratio. It takes images that are crisp clear and full of light. It has 13MP CMOS camera with backside illumination (BSI) and larger pixels.

Colours are true-to-life with little distortion on a high-performance image signal processor (ISP) and 5-piece lens.It also comes with Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) for 0.1s ultra-fast focusing, which is especially useful for shooting moving objects. It comes with low light quality enhancement technology that enhances image brightness taken under low light conditions.

Battery

Now you don’t want to compromise with the battery on this device and frankly speaking, a 4100 mAh battery is a powerhouse by today’s standards.

On regular usage, the phone gets you by about 25 hours during the day. And with the 3g it can go up to 9.25 hours which is good. For battery life test we would recommend you read this article.
