First impression: Hardware does not look or feel cheap. Due to the big battery, phone has a heft. But it's about 20gm heavier than my older phone honor 5x, so not much of a difference. 
Looks are subjective, but I find the screen big, and strictly two-handed use. Otherwise usage experience is fine. With 4GB of RAM almost no delays are seen. Things are fluid and fast. 
One thing I hate is there's tons of bloatware. And the google ones are also not removable or disable able. A quick Google search turned up a small tutorial to get rid of these things using adb shell. Not for your average user though. 

Anyway for the price of 8100/- this is steal. So I got it. 
Cheers!!
