The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 chipset, a mildly-upgraded version of the Snapdragon 675 SoC. It brings other lucrative features in the sub 15K price segment such as a Super AMOLED display, a 48MP primary lens, a large 5,000mAh battery, and an elegant design. The screen’s resolution is Full HD+ and it is 6.43-inches in size. You also get an 8MP ultra-wide camera which some phone manufacturers tend to skip at this price point.

The large 5,000mAh battery is powered by a 33W fast charger included in the box.  Pros- Eye-catching design.
- Good camera output from the primary camera.
