InFocus gives a bit competition to Xiaomi with their ultra low cost pricing. It is powered by a quad core MediaTek MT6582 processor with Mali-400 GPU. There's 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage which seems pretty good. The screen has a relatively unusual resolution of 768x1280p wider than the usual 16:9 ratio which is nearly standard on smartphones today. We've seen a clearest and sharpest display in this price segment. The screen is clear and bright even under the sunlight.
There's Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and FM radio also and there are 2 MIC's for noise cancellation and it has a good array of sensors. The device runs on Android 4.2.2 Jellybean OS skinned with company's InLife UI on the android.
The biggest draw of M2 is their camera's it has 8 megapixels cameras on the both side with their own flash. Both cameras are very nice in terms of performance but we seen the colors looked washed out and misses the details even in good light. Or low light photographs are completely dull. But it's not a big concern for a low budget device of 5k. Overall the device performed quite well and it has a good battery also which lasts around 10-12 hrs of a single charge or even more through some customizations of settings.
