To own dimensions , the phone feels a bit bongsor for a smartphone with 5 -inch screen , and weighs 153 grams with . Thickness of 8.9 mm are likely not a problem , but the phone feels rather wide bezel fairly within the screen . With a matte material , the phone does not feel slippery when held , moreover somewhat curvy shape and in accordance with the palm of the hand . But the lack of a matte material is very visible if dirty and somewhat difficult to clean .
