Box contents picture -
Package contains only the phone, ear phones and USB charger. No USB cable is included in this Indian version.
Note that FCC id mentioned on package is IHDT56PF1
FCC report is available at FCC Report Link.
My initial views on using the phone for few days are positive.
Screen is sharp. There is no lag in performance with the quad core, 1GB RAM inside. Internet browsing, WiFi performance is good so far.
Phone build quality is good. far better compared to many phones in this price range. Curved body feels good in hand. the metal buttons provided for power and volume control feel good and solid.
Battery is not user replaceable.
Few pictures of the product.
I have added the white color flip case that works very well and protects the phone. Switches off and locks the screen when flip cover is closed.
Phone performance has been good so far. No significant issues on lag or slowness.
Some of the apps which I have added so far include-
