- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing a sharp pixel density of approximately 401 ppi.

- Battery life is supported by a 4000 mAh capacity, although it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- The device runs on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), which may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and wireless charging may limit its appeal for some users.
