Build Quality, Design and Form Factor

In the build quality department the handset is made up of plastic back cover and glass on the front which does not have a great protection but scratch resistant to some extent and the quality of material used is quite good the handset feels solid in hands and none of the assembled parts make any noise. The design is nice, it has nice curves on the edges which are more rounded make the device easy to hold in hands and gives a nice grip. The form factor of the phone is pretty good it does not feel big considering a 5 inch display and device does not feel very heavy but its little bit heavier compared to other phones like this.

Display, Memory and Battery Backup

It has 5 Inch IPS LCD display with 720p resolution which is quite good, the text does not feel soft and HD pictures looks good and the display is vibrant, colors looks quite sharp and nice on the display. It has 4 GB internal around 1.84 Gb available and supports installing and moving apps on SD card. The battery lasted for more than 1 day, the exact backup time was around 21 hours during our review which continued for 2 weeks.

Software

The UI is stock android there are no custom widgets or apps customized to give Zen branding but you have a custom camera app which allows tap to focus in video and photo mode. Another good thing is that the keyboard supports swipe to type that is continuous input supported for typing on virtual keyboard.
