The phone, marketed in Nepal by JSS Group, is available for Rs11,999.
M5 is primarily made of light metal and strong glass and weighs 178 grams. The front display of the phone is made of Gorilla Glass 4. The use of Gorilla Glass has allowed Leagoo to market M5 as a shockproof device, says a statement issued by JSS Group. The unbreakable tempered glass is not only durable but provides a unique and concise look to the phone.
The manufacturer claims the phone will not break even if it is crushed by an SUV, as it is packaged in Nano All-metal Non-breakpoint frame.
M5 comes with a five-inch, 720p high-definition display. “It is ideal for leisure and entertainment purposes such as watching videos and playing games with superior visual quality,” says the statement.
The phone is powered by a Mediatek MT6580M 1.3MHz processor, with four-core central processing unit. It also features an ARM Mali T-400MPz graphic processor which comes with 2 cores and operates at a speed of 416MHz.
The phone also comes with a 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage, which is expandable to up to 128GB.
The phone runs on Android 6.0 operating system with Leagoo’s Freeme UI.
The phone comes with an 8-meapixel primary camera with LED flash which takes high resolution pictures and records high-definition videos. The autofocus function of the phone works effectively to stabilise the image, helping users to get impressive photos, especially when taking macro shots.
M5 also has a 5MP secondary camera which takes high quality pictures and records videos of 720-pixel resolution.
The phone also comes with an improved fingerprint sensor, which enables users to unlock the phone in 0.19 second, and a 2300mAH battery. One of the drawbacks of M5, however, is that it does not support 4G.
