The phone boasts a stylish design with a glossy back panel, dual SIM tray on the left side, and a power button and volume rockers on the right side. The device features a 6.5-inch PLS LCD display with an HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate, which might make it less suitable for heavy graphics users.
