Build and Design
Colors S11 is a budget phone but the company has not made any compromise on the build. The phone has a metallic body and the construction feels pretty sturdy. On the back, there is a camera and LED at the top then a fingerprint scanner at the center. On the front there is the screen, touch navigation buttons, selfie camera, LED flash sensors, and earpiece. This is a normal design but as there is 2.5D glass, the screen seems like there is a slight curve at the edges.
Core Internal Hardware
Underneath the screen, we get a quad-core processor on the Mediatek MT6737W chipset. It offers 3 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. Users can also have additional memory cards to have more storage. Underneath the back, the S11 carries a 3000 mAh battery. This is a decent-sized battery for a phone of this power and size. In the case of software, the phone is currently running on Android 7.0 Nougat. For network, it supports dual SIM phones with 4G networks. Overall the internal hardware is reasonable for the budget.
Display and Cameras
Colors S11 has a 5.2” IPS LCD screen with 720×1280 HD resolution. It is a good display for budget-range phones. Above this screen, there is a surprising set of cameras. There are two 8 MP cameras at the front. This means the selfie camera set has 8+8 MP cameras. The back side has only one 8 MP camera. Both sides also have LED flash for low-light situations.

Colors is actually doing a good job in the mobile market with their entry-level phones. They do truly offer good hardware for the price. These days, mobile phone brands and companies are trying to channel their sales online to cut out the middle man just like the market of other countries. This practice has shown good progress in countries like India. Colors are also trying the same with the Daraz partnership and discount on S11.
Currently, the pricing of Colors S11 makes it fall in the high competition range. This is directly competing with the new Xiaomi Redmi 5A. There is going to be tough competition between many smartphones in the market and Colors S11. So keep a look at competing products as well if you are planning to purchase at this price segment. Our advice is that while choosing get the phone that has specs fit for you.
