The simple device will be very affordable when launched, as we know BQ smartphones are always budget friendly. Without further ado, meet the BQ Aquaris VS.

scratch resistant, thanks to the 2.5D curved glass screen. It has a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 520 cd/m2, 72% NTSC and a viewing angle of about 178°. The screen which reached just 69% screen to body ratio boasts of a GFF full lamination and a NEG Dinorex T2X-1 Glass.

It comes with dual-LED flash by the side and lots of other features to help take your photography prowess to another level.
