The battery is a “worthwhile” detail on this phone. With a capacity of 5000mAh, not all smartphones of the same price range are available, the machine gives you a total of 2 consecutive days of use without fuss. You can not even find this capacity on many high-end smartphones.
Not only that, the manufacturer has also been extremely careful in the design, reflected by the 10W fast charging device that comes with the device, saving maximum time costs for users.

In addition, the device is also equipped with a one-touch fingerprint sensor on the back that is easy to unlock with high speed as well as high security.
