Leagoo Shark 1 – dangerous amazing device.
This fantastic smartphone comes in a plain black box. When you unbox it, you will find all you need inside: the smartphone, the fast charger, a micro USB cable, a user manual written in English and Chinese and even a set of premium in-ear headphones. Everything is neatly packed and fitted inside of the box – a premium packaging I can say.
Leagoo Shark 1 is made out of quality polycarbonate plastic and aluminum alloy on the side and back of the device. It looks excellent in every instance. Considering it has a 6-inch display, it is a lot smaller than models of competing companies. Dimensions of this phone are 158.6×82.8×8.5 mm. On the front side, above the display, we find the front camera, ambient light sensor, the speaker, and LED notification light. Below the screen there are no capacitive buttons, giving more to the display real estate. Onscreen buttons appear when you need them, and they are lit well.
On the top of the smartphone, there are 3.5mm headphone jack and IR port that you can use as a remote for TVs, home appliances, etc.On the back side of the phone, there are fingerprint sensor and 13MP camera with dual LED flash. In the center of the back, there is a Leagoo logo and, below the removable cover, there is a speaker grill. The power button, as well as volume up and down buttons, are placed on the right side of the phone. On the left side, there is a micro sim card slot. The bottom right side is where the micro USB port resides.
