The handset packs a massive 6.33″ 1440p display and naturally the phone has a large footprint too. However the smartphone feels smaller than you would expect and even lighter too. It has a good build quality and feels solid thanks to the metal construction.

The soft touch finish at the back provides decent grip and the antenna lines at the back don’t really look out of place. It is powered by a quad-core 64bit Snapdragon 820 processor and has 4GB of RAM as well.

The back has a 21 Megapixel camera, dual-tone LED flash and a secondary microphone. You also have a fingerprint sensor with Qualcomm’s SenseID technology. This means that it relies on an Ultrasonic method of fingerprint scanning that is more accurate since it can detect your fingerprint even when your fingers are dirty or wet.
