What’s good:
Call it a shameless clone, but it’s the only phone in the Android stables with the iPhone X styled notch. Android 8.1, 64 gigs of internal memory, and a impressive (on paper at least) front camera make it an attractive proposition.

What could have been better:
We’ve seen that processor on phones as cheap as Rs 10,000.

Not to confuse you with the camera specs listed above, we’ve listed the specs as (megapixels), (aperture), (OIS-if present), (sensor size). Generally speaking, bigger the aperture and sensor size, better is the camera. Which means smaller number in the denominator, the bigger the aperture or sensor size is. For example, f/1.9 is a bigger aperture and than f/2.0. Also 1/2.2″ is a bigger sensor than, say, 1/2.6″. A bigger aperture camera performs much better in low light situations and produces sharper images. It also produces a better brokeh. Also, OIS refers to optical image stabilisation, which helps in reducing blur.
