- Analysis by Christelle Nina
The Kata i5 likes to emphasize its cameras -- and for good reason. At 13 megapixels and 8 megapixels 
, it has one of the more promising imaging specs in the budget smartphone subcategory. While its rear shooter doesn't come without an LED flash, its front-facing counterpart has to act on its own 
, which gives some of the i5's rivals an advantage.
It also has an octa-core processor, which is a relatively-rare find in the context of low-cost models. However, its 1.3GHz clock speed is average at best. Good thing the device is equipped with 3GB of RAM , giving its set of hardware-related pros and cons a much-needed boost.

The 5-inch display works in tandem with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This results to an unimpressive pixel density of 294DPI . At the very least, the lack of a stellar display can potentially enhance the longevity of the i5's already-promising 3000mAh battery .
As for aesthetics, a fingerprint detector conveniently offers its services at the device's rear. The metallic finish also gives this smartphone some added appeal. However, it's worth noting that it appears relatively-bulky compared to a lot of similar models. With a thickness of 9.3mm and a weight of 155 grams , those whose are into extra-sleek handhelds could find themselves disappointed with the i5's physical dimensions.

Based on the pros and cons above, it won't be a surprise if the Kata i5 gains several fans, courtesy of its competitive hardware, battery, and camera specs. However, it's far from being the ideal budget phone, especially since its bulkiness and unimpressive display are both too significant to ignore for the average Android user.
