Short Review

- It sports a 5.0-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, offering decent color reproduction but limited sharpness at approximately 220 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset, a quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU, and options for 1.5GB or 2GB of RAM, which may struggle with demanding applications.
