Camera Features

There are two cameras in the Hotwav M5. There is a single 8 MP with dual LED flash at the rear. Special features are not specified. At the front, there is 8 MP that comes with some cool features too. Video performances vary and all of these come with FHD recording effects.

Other regular features include geotagging, HDR, face detection, panorama, face detection, etc. The camera handles moderately the photos and videos that are produced.

Hardware and Software of Hotwav M5

Android OS v8.1 Oreo is the driving operating system in the device. We believe that this will surely update to the latest Android 9 Pie. Additionally, there is MediaTek 6580p chipset inside the device. In addition to that, Quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU also helps speed up processing for this smartphone. In addition, the device runs on 64-bit architecture.

However, high speed apps and heavy users cannot rely on this smartphone and expect it to deliver normally as other devices would. The performance is rather poor.
