First, the Leagoo M9 has a sturdy polycarbonate frame with removable backplate cover. In front, it has a 5.5-inch 18:9 screen with HD+ 1440 x 720 resolution.

Under the hood, it loads with a 1.3GHz MT6580A quad-core processor with Mali-400 MP2 GPU. It is coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. It also has a 2,850mAh LiPo battery to power the phone.

On the camera part, it has "four" cameras in total. It has an 8MP + 2MP dual-camera with AF and LED flash at the back and a 5MP + 2MP dual-camera with LED flash for selfies.

However, as we all know, the MT6580A SoC has no real support for phones with dual cameras.

The result? You will only get a software radial bokeh effect for this phone.

Going back to the rest of the specs, this device has WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS, and dual SIM (micro + nano) slots.

It runs with Android 7.0 Nougat OS out of the box.
