  • Heating

Though it is not otherwise proven, users have come across little heating on using this phone. When you use this phone for gaming or browsing, the phone gets heated. The heating is minimal and would be on the warmer side. It is equipped with 3GB RAM yet the heating of the CPU is the common issue. Though this can be taken as the drawback, it is very low to change your buying decision. The wooden back absorbs the heat well.

  • Preloaded Apps

Company has included many apps in the Preloaded app category. This eventually takes up lot of space and keeps on running in the background. The performance and storage of the phone are affected because of these unnecessary apps.

  • HDMI Port

You will not get HDMI port in this phone. It is also not having MHL Out.

  • Operating System

The operating system provided is Android 5.1 Lollipop and the latest Android Marshmallow has been missed out by the company. There has not been any update by the company regarding the up gradation of the operating system and that would turn down many potential buyers.
