WIKO View 3 Lite 4G Phablet 4000mAh Battery Review

$26.98~Future TECNO M3S vs M5X~

A chance to get a top-notch smartphone with a full review

This is a continuation of my last post that featured the TECNO M3S. This phone is a drop-in replacement to the M3 as the only attempt to turn it into a full-featured full-screen phone.

To be more specific, I’ll focus on the design and features. The M3S looks identical to the M3 Pro, but that doesn’t mean it is bad.

Specifications

It comes with a 6GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, and runs on Android 6.0 Nougat.

But what about the design? The only difference is that the phone has a metal frame instead of plastic.

I was a little taken aback when I first opened the box. It is just plain plastic.

What’s in the box

Inside the box you’ll find:

What’s in the Box:

Design and Features

When the phone first arrived, there was a lot of talk about a plastic unibody design that would make the device to a feeling of rubber. But in the end I was disappointed when I didn’t need to bend over.

Now the device was made to last and provide a feeling of a premium experience.

The design of the phone is best described as solid. The edges of the device are smooth with a premium feel.

The phone’s metal body has a good grip, and I like that the phone is easy to push out, without feeling like it’s carrying an eternity of frustration.

At the bottom of the phone is a fingerprint scanner that’s harder to pull off.

On the back you’ll find the camera and the home button.

The home button has a plastic lock that’s easy to pull out when you want to move it.

There’s no LED notification light, just a simple blue LED.

In the bottom of the device you’ll find the earpiece, the volume control buttons, and the power button.

Display

The TECNO M3 Pro sports a 5.99 inch 522, which is a bit larger than the Mi 5C and the one that launched at the same time.

However, unlike the M5X, it doesn’t come with a capacitive screen. Instead it uses an on-screen keyboard that’s quite small.

The screen has a resolution of 1080p and is a lot brighter than the 720p resolution.

The touch buttons are on the right side of the device.

The back of the device has no buttons and doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner. So you’ll have to use your fingers to get through to the front or back of the phone.

Performance

To be honest, I wasn’t very impressed with the performance of the phone. It felt like it was on the low side when I had a dual sim device at the same time.

The phone has some things that you have to know about the Snapdragon 855 SoC like that it runs at 1.8GHz and that it has a Dual camera setup at the back. This means you can shoot at higher quality fisheye photos than with traditional cameras.

The only difference between the M3 and M5S Pro is
