specs, with a Snapdragon 652 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB
of internal storage. The company is also offering unlimited cloud storage with
their tcloud service, which is a good move.

build of Android Nougat, and they also promise 3 major Android updates with
with regular security updates. The device also packs in LTE SIM slots with
VoLTE support and NFC support for good measure.
The other specs include a 5.5-inch full HD display,

facing camera is a 5MP unit with a wide angle lens, while the battery is a
