DESIGN, BUILD QUALITY & DISPLAY

The design of this phone is very good. It has Corning gorilla glass 3 on front & textured plastic back which offers pretty good in hand feel thanks to slightly curved back. It is slim at 7.4mm and weighs 146gms. It has 5.7 inch Full HD IPS LCD display of resolution 1920 x 1280 with 386ppi.

It has 16GB of internal storage which is further expandable upto 32GB. The device features dedicated multimedia apps like google play music for songs and a stock gallery and a video player which are good. FM radio comes pre-installed too. When it comes to multimedia experience from the device is quite very good overall thanks to bigger screen, video watching is very good adding to the experience is the audio quality both from loudspeaker is pretty good and from headphone jack is quite pretty good too. Connectivities like 2G, 3G speeds upto 42.2mbps download & upto 5.76mbps upload, 4G speeds upto 150mbps download & upto 50mbps upload, Wifi b/g/n, Wifi hotsopt, micro USB 2.0 HS, A-GPS as well as Bluetooth 4.1 come standard and also has NFC support. It also misses on gyroscope sensor, USB OTG (should be a minimum feature for the price point) and the fingerprint sensor is market/region dependent which for instance is not avaliable in india.

CAMERA & VIDEO RECORDING CAPABILITIES

It has a 16MP (F/2.2 Aperture) rear camera with autofocus and  LED flash which features Geo-tagging, Touch focus, Image stabilization, HDR etc. The camera clarity is very good overall. Daytime the images are very good and has fine details respectively but in the night is where the noise starts to become more visible and to get better details at night HDR mode images with bit of steady hands helps to produce slightly better images, still image quality at night is pretty good. It does 1080p@30fps video recording with video stabilization and stereo sound having bit-rate of 16 mbps respectively and stores in mp4 format. The video recording clarity is very good overall. Daytime the video clarity is very good and has fine details respectively but at night video clarity is average could have been bit better. It also has a 8MP front camera with LED flash for selfe's which does 720p video recording and clarity is pretty good.

SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, PERFORMANCE & BENCHMARKS

It runs Android (OS) 6.0.1 Lollipop out of the box. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 (MSM8937) 64-Bit SOC (System On Chip) running a Octa-Core processor clocked at 1.4GHZ (ARM Cortex-A53 architecture) with 3GB RAM and Adreno 505 (450 MHZ Single-Core) GPU. The performance is quite very good overall which provides number of graphic intensive games and multitasking run pretty well and there is no major lag at most cases, I ran modern combact 5 which is a heavy game and the gaming performance was smooth didn't notice any lag or major frame drop. From this you can also observe that other games like asphalt 8 etc to perform similarly and should be very much playable even on high graphic setting and also when it comes to heating there is no overheating issues which is very good. The general performance of the device was smooth, I didn't notice major lag from the UI (User Interface) which is very good in my opinion. The benchmark scores are just good for this price range which is given below.
