Design and Display
In a category where most smartphone look more generic than attractive. The Leagoo M9 does well to feature a solid build and impressive aesthetics. Although made from plastic which is common to low budget smartphones the design is quite attractive and appears to be more costly than it actually is.
As a budget smartphone the Leagoo M9 does not really have much to offer in terms of display quality. It features a 5.5-inch 1280 X 640 pixels resolution display with a pixel density of 260 ppi. The overall display quality is rather below average which is tolerable being a low budget smartphone.
Battery and Camera
Budget smartphones are not too big on battery capacity and same goes for the Leagoo M9. It comes with a removable 2, 850mAh Li-Ion battery which should be able to get you through the day but you’d need to plug it in at the end of the day.
Now this is where things gets interesting as the Leagoo M9 comes with a quad camera. The rear camera houses a 13MP + 2MP sensor while the front as a 5MP + 3MP sensor. This is not a common feature in this price segment, however, this does not necessarily translate to a better image.
Hardware and Software
The League M9 has a relatively okay hardware, sporting a Quad-Core MediaTek MT6580A running at 1.3GHz. Also, the Leagoo M9 has a Mali-400 MP2 which should be able to handle a even some high resolution games quite well.
When it comes to storing files and other items, the Leagoo M9 cones with a 16GB storage space and a 32GB expansion limit. Also the smartphone has a 2GB RAM size which for a budget smartphone is not so bad. Leagoo M9 also boots an Android 7.0 Nougat with some modifications from Leagoo.
