Made from glass and aluminium, the device employs the de facto standard design presently. the screen is slightly curved towards the frame edge, creating ever-so-slight curve. the screen-to-body ratio of the device is 71.59%, which is normal. The fingerprint is embedded into the home button at front.

Instead of An AMOLED screen display, the device equipped with an IPS LCD screen.
3. Processor

For selfie lovers a 8MP shooter is provided which also has f/2.0 aperture, although the sensor’s pixel are larger clocking in at 1.12um with a field view of 84 degrees which is pretty wide for allowing multiple people to fit inside the frame maybe we can get our hopes up for having a good and detailed selfie pictures in low light scenarios as well.
