In-hand feel

The flat edges and smooth back panel contribute to a pleasant in-hand feel ensuring that it doesn’t feel bulky despite its heavy features.

Build quality

The device has a glass front and back with an super-strong plastic frame that adds to its sturdiness.

The build quality feels solid and there’s no creaking or flexing under pocket pressure for up to 1 year.

Later on, it may bend its frame due to variation in temperature or usage or plastic being degraded over time.

Color options

It is available in three color options: Victory Gold, Speed Green and Dark Purple. I liked all of them. And you can choose one as per your taste.

Ports and buttons

• At the bottom: A USB Type-C port, a hybrid SIM Card slot, a microphone and a speaker grille.
• On right-hand side: The volume rocker and power button located perfectly provide easy access.
