Design and Display
From the looks of things, it is so obvious that the smartphone is an entry-level one with an outdated design. You have thick bottom bezel below the screen with capacitive touch buttons arranged on it. For a smartphone with a small screen, the smartphone doesn’t really have a small size. The smartphone also happens to be made of plastic, a material of choice as far as these smartphones are concerned.
Going back to the era of TFT screens, the smartphone sports a small sized display surrounded by heavy bezels and in the 16:9 aspect ratio from the days of yore. Sized at 4.0-inch, the smartphone has about the low resolution similar to others in its price bracket. Having a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels don’t quite expect stellar visual on the device but it does enough for day to day use.
Battery and Camera
Following the principle of law of demand and supply, the smartphone has a small battery capacity answering to the little specs on board. In that regard, the smartphone does feature a 1, 500mAh battery which will suffice for the 24-hour mandate for most users.
There is not much of a camera on the smartphone with the sensor present more of a courtesy than an actual snapping tool. The front has a mere 0.2MP camera and a 2MP primary camera at the back with LED flash in support.
Hardware and Software
The rest of the specs inside the phone includes a quad-core chipset, MediaTek MT6580 processor to be specific. This is accompanied by a 512MB RAM and Mali-400 MP2 GPU. What you have here are not sturdy performers but it does well for itself because of the optimised Go Edition of Android 8.1 Oreo pre-installed. Storage space inside is just about 8GB which is even low besides some are taken up by the OS and built-in softwares. You can actually add an extra 8GB using a memory card which has its own dedicated slot.
