Design and First Impressions
First of all, when you take the phone in your hand, its back panel will definitely attract you. The back is made of plastic but with a premium soft touch finish which makes it look classy. I have the Midnight Shadow colour, and as soon as I hold it in my hand I feel that yes, this phone is more premium than the budget category.
The side frame is also made of plastic, but the build quality is good. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack option, which is very good, and there is also a hybrid SIM tray.
Camera
Now let’s talk about the camera. In this phone, you get a 108MP primary camera, which is very big in the budget range. And when you zoom in, there is no loss of detail with 3x sensor zoom. For selfies, an 8MP front camera has been given, which is good enough for normal selfies. Dynamic range and low light performance are not that great, but it clicks good photos in daylight.
