The LEAGOO M5 Edge is called the “night shooting” expert from the company itself, which if true would be amazing given its price tag. Here’s a video unboxing so that we can have a better look at it.
As we’ve seen in the video, the LEAGOO M5 Edge sports a 5-inch IPS HD display with a 2.5D thicker than usual glass for improved scratch resistance. Phone’s bezels are just 1.5mm and it has a screen-to-body ratio of 80%.
LEAGOO M5 Edge’s display also features On-Cell technology, which makes it 45% more visible, 30% faster and brings a 178-degree viewing angle.
In the camera department we find a 13MP rear shooter with an aperture of 2.0, meanwhile on the front there’s 8.0 MP 77.9° wide angle front camera.
As far as the body construction goes, the LEAGOO M5 Edge is encased in an aluminum alloy frame which has been sandblasted in over 120 steps and 180 hours of CNC manufacturing.
