A value for money product, wish they would use a better processor next time. Cameras are Avg , they should've ditched the 2 MP macro and should've increased the Ultra wide resolution with better sensor and PDAF. Battery is good. Screen is good . Speakers are good. Software is decent. Build quality is decent.
