Unfortunately, with a glossy finish on its top side. That makes it feel unnecessarily cheap. The glossy bit is a smudge magnet like the original. There are two displays on this phone. A 1.3 inch display up front lets. You answer calls without opening the phone up and when you flip it open a 2.8 inch. Color display inside there are large keys, making it easier to text or type button.

Import placements are like this micro USB port on the bottom volume rocker on the right and on the left, a headphone jack and a dedicated Google Assistant button, giving it a more modern twist.
