On the network end, please note that this device is a 4G smartphone. It does not support the latest 5G connectivity. Furthermore, this device comes with a rear fingerprint recognition sensor and supports microSD card (up to 512GB) expansion. It is 8.69mm thick and weighs 189 grams.
As of now, there is no information on the official retail price of this device in India. However, considering the specs of this smartphone and previous practices, it should hit the shelves for about RMB 1,000.
