The screen dishes out a 16:9 aspect ratio and it’s quite as basic as the price. Of course, the bezels are thick as expected. The bottom bezels houses three navigation buttons, including a physical home button with no fingerprint scanner feature. Honestly, the side bezels are almost non-existent, which is impressive.
