Design

The Xenium X598 body is made of plastic and metal (plastic body and metal frames) with two antenna lines at the back.

The front panel of the device is somewhat reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy S2 model. This is all because of the “Home” button. It has the same style as the phone from Samsung. In general, the front panel is very modest and has large bezels, which seems a bit strange because of the popularity of bezel-less displays. On the top bezel, there is a receiver and a front camera, as well as sensors. On the bottom bezel, there is a “Home” button. It also used as a fingerprint scanner.

On the back are two cameras and an LED flashlight between them. Below the cameras is the brand logo. Inscription is made in white.

On the right side, there are power button and volume rocker.

On the left - a tray for two nano SIM cards and a separate place for a SD/TF card.

At the very top of the smartphone, manufacturers have placed the audio jack and a noise-canceling microphone.

At the bottom are fashionable USB Type-C port and the speaker.

The thickness of the device is 9.4 mm and the weight is 0,167 kg. It comes exclusively in black. Manufacturers say nothing about other colors.
