Overall
Consider the price, the smartphone looks good. Lack of fingerprint hurts, but Snapdragon 430, 3000 mAh batter, dedicated Micro-SD card tries to make up for it. The smartphone doesn’t have a proper USP, but price can be a USP.
This is a good smartphone in budget segment for first time smartphone buyers (who wants Stock Android experience).
