Thanks to the sand blasted matte finish on the rear side, you get a good grip on the phone. One handed option is inconvenient.
The in hand feel of the phone is good as there are no sharp edges around the phone. Everything is nicely rounded.
There’s even a chrome strip running around the edges which is slightly raised, so that it helps the display from touching the table if it is placed face down. Now these are minor touches, but quite thoughtful. Even the volume rocker and power/standby buttons are metallic with chamfered edges and a good feedback.
At 8.7mm thickness and 164 grams in weight, it is not winning any prizes in the slimness and lightness departments, but it isn’t bad at all considering it houses a 4050mAh battery.
