Design
The first thing you pay attention to is the thickness of the smartphone and its weight. Globex GU5011B is really very light (143 grams) and compact, there are no obvious bulging / protruding buttons. There is a decorative red insert around the side perimeter of the smartphone, which attracts attention. The screen is covered with glass and has small sides on the sides.
On the top panel there is a front-facing camera, a speaker, microUSB, an output for an OMTP standard jack 3.5 headset, a proximity sensor and a light sensor.
On the right side of the phone there is only a power button, it is in combination and a lock button. Located at the level of the thumb, if you hold the phone in your right hand. The button has the shape of a boat and is easy to grope, completely merges with the overall design of the smartphone.

Impressions are pleasant from the smartphone, it is easy enough to get to the battery and sim cards. But the manufacturer, as for me, missed a rather important nuance, this is an express change of microSD, you have to remove the battery. But in general, Globex 5011 is a lightweight and catchy smartphone with a great exterior design.
