The new version of color is Twilight Purple and Deep Space Black two colors that further enhance its beauty, this, in addition to the other sophisticated tones. One of the biggest design changes is that reduced camera bump which stops the phone from wobbling around on a flat surface. In all, I think the build quality is top notch and it feels sturdy yet sleek in hand.
