Design
- Thanks to the plastic frame, feels very light to hold
- Overall fit and finish is good
- The dimpled texture on the back adds some relief to the phone's otherwise ordinary look
- Quite slim too at 7.9mm
- The ergonomic design of the phone makes it easy to use and carry around - the back offers good grip when you hold, it and the slim borders on either side of the display offer some degree of one-handed usability
- You can unlock an additional year of warranty coverage once you sign up with the LyfCare app on the phone!
- Offers a plastic build, where a lot of competitors now offer metal bodies
- No fingerprint sensor
Display
- 5.5-inch full-HD screen has good brightness and sharp text - colour reproduction is fairly good too and there’s Corning Gorilla Glass for reinforcement
Software
- The interface is stock Android, which keeps things nice and simple
- Reliance bundles the Jio suite of apps, including JioMoney, Jio Play, etc
- Additional apps include The Smart Tray app (provides you with a pop-up tray of shortcuts for up to 15 apps when you swipe diagonally from either of the bottom corners of the screen), and Smart Ring (alters the volume level of an incoming call based on gestures like flip to mute, or based on ambient sound)
- General performance is good, with the phone's core specifications and the lean Android UI helping things
Performance
- Tends to get a bit warm when put under stress
Camera
- Average rear and front camera performance - distant objects tend to look mushy and flat, and low-light shots tend to be riddled with colour noise, especially in dark areas
Audio
- Does a decent job at media playback - can handle files up to 1080p with ease, and the speaker gets sufficiently loud, especially when placed on a flat surface
Battery
- The 3200mAh battery is good, and with regular use, you can got through a full day and then some
- The battery charges also at a pretty decent speed with the bundled adapter (you get up to 45 percent in about an hour)
More
- On the whole, performance is in-line with what one would expect from a phone at this price point
