The XonPhone 5: Does it have what it takes?



New tech upstart OPlus has launched their smart phone. Their XonPhone 5 is said to be the next best budget android that has some good features and it also comes at a price that is quite competitive.

The XonPhone 5 is the second device from the house of Oplus following their Xonpad 7. While the XonPad 7 was a truly great gadget, the XonPhone has yet to make a name for it. The features that it houses are really great as it a balance of good features and some great features. The packaging is also done very well as it is compact, durable and minimal at the same.

At first look, the smart phone feels heavy and is actually built very well has metal components that are noticeable on the sides. So on the design scale, it does score very well, you have the 8 MP camera on the back along with the LED flash. The front looks very simple as you have the sensors, the 2 MP camera and the audio receiver. The phone only comes in three colours as of now and you can also get flip covers online.
