While the software took us for a frustrating ride, this phone (as far as we've tested) has fantastic components for the price. The LCD is great with strong colors. The speaker is very good, not only impressive loudness, but surprisingly strong clarity as well.
There are still a lot of areas to test, but so far the Leagoo M5 has impressed us component wise, if not OS wise, though as mentioned, the Leagoo M5 ROM downgrade has thus far seemed to have taken care of the bricking problems.
The Leagoo M5 is also surprisingly heavy. Not in a bad way, but in a way that gives confidence in build.
Speaking of build, the M5 looks great for a phone of this price. Interestingly angled metal sides, 2.5D front glass, and subtle capacitive buttons. The back piece is plastic, but has an interesting pattern to it.
Notably, the Leagoo M5 has dual-SIM *and* a slot for TF SD.
