Display
The Enjoy 8’s 5.7-inch HD+ display is slightly small and has a lower resolution, but it’s still good enough for everyday tasks like browsing the web, checking emails, and watching videos.
Camera
The Enjoy 8’s single 13MP rear camera does a decent job of capturing photos in good lighting conditions. However, you won’t get the same level of detail or low-light performance as the dual-camera setup on the Plus model. The 5MP front camera is sufficient for video calls and selfies, but don’t expect stunning results.
