Globex GU5011B is really very light (143 grams) and compact, there are no obvious protruding / sticking buttons. Around the side perimeter of the smartphone there is a decorative red insert, which attracts attention. The screen is covered with glass and has small sides on the sides.

    The impressions are pleasant from the smartphone, it is easy enough to get to the battery and sim cards.

    The screen is made using the OGS technology - one glass solution.
    Information from the network:
    “Screens made using this technology, due to the absence of a layer between the sensor and liquid crystal layers, are distinguished by increased brightness and large viewing angles. By reducing the thickness of the display, the devices also turn out thinner and lighter. ”
