Design
- Decent fingerprint sensor at the back - unlocking the phone is convenient and smooth
- The bezels on the top and bottom are on the larger side compared to other 18:9 display phones - taking away some of the compact size advantage of such phones
- The glossy body finish attracts too many smudges and scratches
Display
- Looks smart and sporty, with an infinity edge display - putting it in a unique position among budget phones
- The 18:9 Infinity Edge display looks good (the screen has good brightness, wide viewing angles and rich colours), and gives a good experience while watching videos, or browsing
Performance
- Average performance — the interface tends to be sluggish at times (things improve a little bit with a 3rd party launcher)
Camera
- Decent dual-rear-camera set-up on the back - amongst the better dual cameras you would see on budget offerings - takes good pictures especially in good lighting conditions- and has a decent bokeh mode
- Which the rear cameras are pretty decent, there is a 1 second shutter lag in the camera which often leads to blurry images
- Average front camera - apart from the same issue of shutter lag, it suffers from soft details and under-saturated colours
Audio
- Loud audio output via speaker
Battery
- Decent battery life - the 3000mAh non-removable battery lasts the work day
- Battery life is decent but given the mAH rating should have been better
- No fast charging support
More
- Weighing 165 g, the smartphone is slightly on the heavier side
- On the whole, if you are looking for a smartphone with 18:9 aspect display on a budget, the iVoomi i1s is a pretty decent option, but it is a bit behind the InFocus Vision 3, its primary competitor, on some important things — screen & build quality, battery life and performance - and if you don't care much for an infinity display, then the likes of Redmi 5A or the 10.or D are much better value for money
