The IMO Q5 smartphone is a product of a collaboration between IMO Mobile and British retailer, Tesco. The compact Android 12 smartphone has a 5.5-inch IPS display, is powered by a Unisoc chipset, and has a smallish 2500 mAh battery.
Other features include 2 GB RAM, 16 GB built-in storage, and 4G LTE network support. There is a 5MP selfie camera at the front and a 13MP dual camera at the back. Expectedly, considering the price, there is no fingerprint scanner, but there is face unlock.
