Design
Sports a Plastic mix body that’s removable, to change SIM and battery. Overall the back is somewhat plain and different from what we typically see from Samsung. Most importantly, the Cricket logo took over the Samsung logo at the rear.
At the top, we can see the antenna line, where the rear camera and LED flash are present, horizontally. Turning over to the sides, the power button is by the right, while the volume keys are by the left. The slim device measures just 7.62mm in thickness and weighs just 164g overall. It’s available in only Black colors.
Display
Looks exactly like the standard Samsung midrange smartphone from the front. The Samsung logo is present at the top bezel, as they marked their territory. Three navigation buttons are visible at the bottom, while the home button doubles as a fingerprint sensor as well.
The 5.5-inch HD TFT PLS capacitive touchscreen boasts of 1280 x 720 pixels in resolution. Dishing out the usual visuals from a typically Samsung budget smartphone. Details on the screen should be crystal clear and sharp with 267.02 pixel per inch density. Furthermore, the screen has a screen to body ratio of 72.96%.
