Conclusion and Final Thoughts:
On conclusion, the 400 dollar price tag, A13 Bionic processor, the reminiscing apple design from iPhone 6 makes it look like it’s a better competitor for the current smartphone trend in the market which is filled with notch-less and bezel-less displays with the amazing hole punch and motorized cameras and ultra-smooth refresh rates, but do you think the large chunky bezels on the front, the same old look from its predecessors, the main camera lacking night mode and portrait mode for pets and objects can still let this device be a winner,
Let’s see how this plays..
