The phone comes with front glass, plastic back and plastic frame. Its screen size will be 6.6 inches with a punch hole display that houses the selfie camera. But, there is no display protection, its not water resistant, scratch or dust resistant.
What this means is that, if you want the phone to last longer you’ll need to provide some screen guard to help protect the screen and display. Also, using a phone jacket or case is highly recommended given it has a plastic back and frame. A phone jacket will help protect the plastic from breaking easily.
