Walton Primo X5 Details
Walton Primo X5 doesn’t have the trendy notch and design also little bit outdated. However, a back glass with metal frame design alongside CNC diamond cut provide premium like feels. The phone comes with a 5.99 inch Full View IPS capacitive touchscreen display with the resolution of 1080×2160 pixels. There’s a scratch resistant glass but no gorilla glass protection.
In terms of performance, it has an Octa Core 2.0 GHz processor coupled with 6GB RAM and Mali-G71 graphics. There’s no information about the chipset that Primo X5 has used. But we can expect good performance from this phone considering the price scale. With 64GB internal memory you can feel free to store anything in the phone memory.
When it comes to camera, the phone has dual rear camera set up with 13MP+5MP which features like of PDAF, LED Flash, HDR and portrait mode. There’s a 16MP front shooter for taking selfies. These cameras are common in the mid-budget phones, so here’s nothing extraordinary for Primo X5.
Talking about battery life, the Primo X5 is powered by a Li-Po 3450 mAh battery. Other key features are including, Face Unlock, Fingerprint and OTG.
Should You Buy It?
Only 6GB RAM is the major attractive feature for this phone but the company didn’t mention on which chip it will perform. All other features are quite identical like of other mid-budget phone. But the brand name will definitely create confusion to spent 24K on this phone.
