My first smartphone

Kevin Koshy Varghese (Jul 30, 2017) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

It has very good battery�Ÿ”‹ stamina but it don't have fastcharge. Camera clarity is good but it don't focus as fast as iPhone or Samsung mobiles and the front camera �Ÿ“� is not capable of quick selfies (can't even handle a slight shake of hand) No hang at all High speed data transfer when using shareIt when compared to other high end mobiles Super multitasking and multiwindow capability. It comes with android Nougat Hybrid sim slot is almost useless because the internal storage after firmware and system apps is not enough for teenage use(social networks+game+movies+torrent+MUSIC) so having a microSD is a necessity. For this price(69 KWD),it is a great smartphone for all types of users especially teens.
