smartphone will have a centre punch-hole cut-out for the selfie camera. The
device is also visible from the sides and it shows its slim form factor. Furthermore,

details but the text on the camera island confirms it to have optical image
stabilization(OIS). Apart from that, the phone has a white paint job and a
