The display has triple-layered Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection to keep away scratches.

At the top of the screen are the LED flashlight for illumination when shooting video calls, or selfies, an eight mega pixel wide angle front facing camera, a proximity sensor, when on calls and a fairly little ear piece that will often come off as muffled.

This is due to the size which at times forces an user to adjust the handset when on a call.

The base of the the display has the capacitive touch buttons (exit key, menu button, and house button) with an additional capacitive button that minimizes one other three to allow more viewing area.

The top edge of the mobile manufactured from plastic has a 3.5mm jack pin allowance, which puts emphasis on the handset’s own minimalist layout.

The jack pin allowance however comes off as a gaping hole that will be possibly an unofficial shop for lint from an user’s pocket.

On the left edge of the unit is the the SIM card tray which has provision for two micro SIM cards.

The opposite edge has the electricity/lock button, the volume toggle and the memory card tray.

At the underside edge of the smartphone is the charging port which doubles up as the connector into a computer or other peripheral devices. On the right side of the charging interface is the microphone which could snare lint.

The handset is a good deal for users looking to get a reasonable device with flagship attributes. There's just little as the the apparatus is a proven performer running efficiently to rival other high end brands to bemoan when it comes to functionality and attributes.

The drawback to the device is the plastic top and bottom borders which will either break on chip or impact making the apparatus unsightly. Fortunately, this is solved by the protective casing sold with the phone. The casing also shields the aluminium back of the phone and by extension the fingerprint detector to keep its functionality.

All in all, for N81,000 Naira, the cellphone is a great purchase with the convenience of fair pricing against an above average offering of attributes on the device.

Phantom 5 cameras are only fantastic, not wow
