Audio & Display

Mono Speakers

The bottom firing single speaker works relatively well for speaker phone calls or voice messages. The voice produced is clear and loud without any serious distortion at high volumes. Multimedia consumption, especially in landscape mode, is not something I would relate to immersive.

5.7-inch 1440p Display

Other than an increase in the size of the display, the pixel resolution has been bumped up to 1440p. Colour reproduction and viewing angle are spectacular due to the use of IPS display panel.
