As the first time Android Go release in the market, this phone design for entry level users who want to use Android with low price but have optimized features. The LCD screen width is 5.3 inches.

Users will feel like having high end smartphone, at least for the screen ratio.
This phone made from plastic with round corner shape. We will not get any hardware button at front body like other smartphone or mid end Samsung smartphone, but all navigation use soft button.
