Despite its larger display (5.5 inches), the device has a relatively compact dimensions – 150 x 77 mm, particularly pleases a small shell thickness – 8.5 mm. This size was achieved by thin side frames of the screen. Weighs 158 grams device that completely coincides with the visual sensations. The gadget does not feel in the hand is too easy (toy), but at the same time, and does not draw a hand or your pocket.
The area under the display is empty since Android handed keys on the screen. Located on top of the same earpiece, front camera and light sensor and proximity. It also provides LED notifying missed events.
Screen located on the front side Highscreen Spade, securely protected by a special glass, the edges of which slightly rounded, which not only looks unusual but nice to feel your fingers. It is necessary to thank the developers for the presence of the protective film, which is already glued on display at the factory.

Under the back cover Highscreen Spade we see the battery capacity of 2,100 mAh, internal memory expansion slot (MicroSD) and two compartments under the SIM-card (miniSIM and microSIM).

This, of course, is not Full HD, but the picture does not look grainy, individual pixels are barely distinguishable on closer inspection. We add that the display is made by technology IPS, hence the image quality. The main “sores» IPS-matrix in Highscreen Spade we have not noticed, that is, when looking at the screen at an angle not give color purple or orange.
