The device comes with a rear fingerprint scanner as well, for easy access to the phone and private apps. Furthermore, it measures 8.3mm in thickness and weighs 153g overall, which is light and easy to handle. In terms of colours, you can get it in Blue, Gold and Gray colours.
DISPLAY
A unique screen here, the smartphone dishes out a unique 19:9 aspect ratio. Only the selfie camera is visible at the top, with not many bezels in sight. Overall the screen stretches up to 80% screen to body ratio.
