Conclusion

The slim bezels, the 13MP hybrid autofocus camera, lovely design and other set of features looks to be a fine combination, but doesn’t appear to have any standout feature. We would have loved to see some better specs like a good processor (like Helio x10 or Snapdragon 650), at least 3GB of RAM, 32GB of memory and a Full-HD display.  We weren’t convinced that this will be enough to stand this phone in the competition where we already have phones with some good set of specs.
