    The performance of the device was excellant. In my usage of the device, I never encoutered any shuttering and lagging issues. Also, there was not much heating issue while playing high end games.  The device comes with Dual front speakers with Dolby Atoms. Audio output through the internal speaker and through the audio jack was excellant.

There is also a 8MP front facing camera. The camera performance on outdoor condition was excellant. The images taken were having good details and colours. However, indoor and low light camera performance is just average. Lack of optical image stabilisation is one of the drawback of the camera.

The viewing angles, colour saturation and sun light legibility are good. The device has fingerprint scanner and IR blaster. Unfortunately, the fingerprint scanner on the device can store only 2 profiles.
