The Micromax’s costliest smartphone, Dual 5 is the rebranded variant of one of the 360 smartphones. From the design perspective, the 360 N5s looks similar to the recently launched Honor 8 Lite. Following the trend of other Chinese companies, the Qihoo 360 also made the 360 N5s a selfie-centric device by including dual front cameras. It comes with a glossy finish back body featuring 2.5D curved glass on front and back of the device.

Earlier to this, few other Chinese brands also offered 6GB of RAM on their mid-range devices. It runs on the highly customized 360 OS 2.0 which was recently upgraded to the latest Android 7.1 Nougat.

In the camera department, the 360 N5s sports a 13MP rear camera with PDAF and LED flash. The camera app also includes the manual mode for capturing better images by tweaking the settings. For selfies, there is a 13MP + 2MP dual camera setup on the front. Using the dual front camera, the user can get DLSR-like bokeh effect while capturing selfies. The device derives its juice from the 3,730mAh non-removable battery that also supports Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging with the 9V/2A (18W) power adapter.
