On the camera front, the phone comes with a 13-megapixel camera with f/2.2 aperture, phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and LED flash. On the front side, there’s an 8-megapixel snapper with f/2.0 aperture and 80° wide-angle sensor.
For added security measures, the phone comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The company has promised that it will roll out a software update which will introduce Face Unlock feature on the device.
