Hotwav Symbol S8L has been launched alongside the S9L and we’re expecting it to hit the stores anytime soon. Unlike the S9L, the S8L has the normal water-drop notch seen on most Oppo smartphones like the RX17 Neo and RX17 Pro. It also sports dual rear camera and the trendy Face Unlock feature.

The phone has a metal frame and a plastic back complimented with a gradient feel just like the S8L. You have to depend on Face Unlock feature, because the fingerprint scanner is missing. It measures 7.9 mm in thickness and will be available in Blue and Purple colors.

The S8L is built around a 6.22-inch HD+ IPS LCD full view display. The screen boasts of 720 x 1520 pixels in resolution along with a 270 pixel per inch density for clear visuals. Overall, the screen stretches up to 79.28% screen-to-body ratio.
Software and Hardware
It runs on Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. Sitting pretty underneath is the MT6739WA chipset from MediaTek, it comes with 4-cores of processor clocking at 1.3GHz for a smooth ride.
The PowerVR GE8100 graphics card handles everything graphics. For storing up your files, the Symbol S8L houses a 16GB internal storage space which is expandable up to 128GB using a memory card. The device boasts of 2GB RAM space available for multitasking through apps.

The Hotwav Symbol S8L has dual 13MP + 2MP camera mounted at the rear for photography. The camera has f/2.2 aperture, LED flash and other internal features listed in the table below. For taking selfies, it’s equipped with a 5MP selfie shooter that has its own notch.
