That’s all well and good, but how does the phone stack up when compared to more popular rivals such as the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy? From what’s been revealed, it looks set to capture the best qualities of each brand, whilst offering a much more refined and sleeker design, whilst being a considerably more affordable alternative to those two phones. Now the areas in which the phone is mostly limited is with the colors it’s available in: Gold And Rose Gold. Yes, only two options. However, the color of the phone is so subtle that it’s barely noticeable. The phone does support High Dynamic Range, although the front camera does not. But all in all, the phone does seem to hold its own where it counts against its more pricey competition, and it will be coming to a store near you on October 19.
