Design
- Premium aluminium body design, with a build quality that's comparable to much more expensive flagship phones
- Quick, accurate fingerprint reader
- The fingerprint reader is a bit thin and placed a bit low, so can take some time getting used to
Display
- The 5.5-inch display is consistently good in all areas - brightness, contrast, and sunlight legibility
Software
- Mostly stock Android UI helps in keeping things simple and clean
- No notification LED
Performance
- The Snapdragon 430 chipset is a bit dated - while it handles UI navigation and basic tasks just fine, it does tend to hiccup when presented with more intense loads - many competing phones in this price bracket have better, more modern chipsets
- Tends to get a little warm when pushed
Camera
- Decent rear camera - images shot in good light tend to have good detail and depth
- Decent video recording quality too - good sharpness, contrast, vibrancy levels
- Decent autofocus-enabled selfie camera - produces sharp selfies across more varied scenarios - color rendering is on-point too
Audio
- Very good pair of stereo speakers - it's great to have spatial audio output on a phone in this price range - loudness is also above average - and overall audio quality is good
Battery
- Decent (though not great) battery life - will last the work day
- No support for fast charging (as is present in some of its competitors)
