The display is a good size at 6.5 inches and resolution of 720 by 1600 with average brightness of about 400 nits
The battery is a decent size at 5000 milliamp hour and should last for a fairly long time despite being powered by a low-performance chip.

The fingerprint sensor, NFC, and other basic features are included, making it a fully functional phone without unnecessary frills
