It also has a 48MP main camera, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor. While for selfies, an 8MP shooter makes due. You may notice a lack of an ultra-wide snapper, but do remember that they had to cut costs somewhere to make the phone as cost-efficient as possible.

Finally, a 5000mah battery provides the power with an 18W fast charging support.
