6.8
out of 10
MSP SCORE
Pros
Only decent android phone of you want a physical keyboard. Promises inbuilt high security. Battery life is great.
Cons
Insanely expensive given its specifications. Phones with similar specification are available for one third the price. Camera is barely average. OS performance not upto the mark.
