Design and Display
The Ulefone S7 has a generic design with nothing really out of the ordinary. You’d certainly be able to identify it has a budget smartphone when you see one from its plastic body to its less premium build.

The smartphone has a 5.0-inch IPS LCD panel with a 1280 x 720 pixels display and a pixel density of 297 ppi. Although this is not really what you can call a crisp display but it gets the work done and weighs less on the battery compared to higher resolution display.

The dual rear camera as a 5MP + 5MP sensor with the primary one interpolated to 8MP. For selfies there is a 2MP sensor which should provide an okay image in full sunlight.
