Design and Quality
The design of the handset is very attractive having metallic bezel all around the device. The back of the handset is made up of good quality plastic while the front is all glass. The large screen could be troublesome in handling for some people. The back of the device is not slippery thus provides good grip. The design of the phone is very simple. The main camera is not at all bulging out thus providing smooth back. The distinguishing feature of this handset is the speaker which are located at the top right at the back of the device while normally handsets have it towards bottom at the back. At the top of the screen is the front facing camera, sensor and the speaker while at the bottom are the three navigation touchscreen keys. The back of the device has the back camera at the very top left corner and the company logo in the center.
OS and Tech
OS of this handset are latest and has the provision to upgrade it to further latest OS which is Android v5.0 Lollipop thus provides very fast multitasking but little problem may be observed as the RAM in the device is limited to only 1GB. The OS has no problem at all in making the device an ideal choice among the smartphone lovers who expect to have latest OS in their handsets.
Camera and Multimedia
Camera is awesome here. 13MP back camera is powerful enough to capture brilliant images which are of good quality. Though the low light performance of the camera gets little grainy but under normal light, the photography is a plus point of this phone. It can also record full HD videos which are of excellent quality and when runs on 6inch large screen, they look more fantastic and crunchy. The front 5MP camera is also interesting and works very elegantly for the selfies and the video conferencing.
Battery and Memory
3300mAh battery is not bad here. This is removable battery which can be replaced in case it gets some issue. The battery keeps the device running for 24hrs and this is not at all bad time as the screen is also large but since the screen has some power saving feature so the battery can be used for more than 24hrs under power saving mode. The RAM should have been at least 2GB as being large device 1GB would bring performance lags in the device working. The internal storage is also less but expansion up to 32GB is not bad.
Pros and Cons
For Pros:
· Good design
· Latest OS support
· Excellent processor
· Affordable price
· Excellent camera
· Good battery life
For Cons:

Verdict
This is under budget 4G supporting handset which is a welcome gift from any mid-range device. This device has better specifications than that of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in terms of having dual SIM card support, latest Lollipop OS support, Octa core processor and many more. Overall this device is very nice and acceptable but the RAM should have been little enhanced keeping in view the size of the handset and the good features provided to it.
