It is the sixth handset released by the Chinese manufacturer since the One was launched in 2014. It comes with ‘Dash Charge’ technology which the manufacturer claims will give a day’s worth of power with just half an hour of charging. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and 8GB of RAM powers the handset.
Other major features include a dual camera; which features both 16MP and 20MP cameras. Users can also adjust individual settings like white balance and shutter speed like they would on a standalone professional camera.
