Not only does the smartphone offer great viewing of photos, videos and other docs while on the go, courtesy of this large screen, but it also delivers great performance capabilities, due to the fast 1.4GHz dual-core application processor it was packed with.

The handset also features 16GB of internal memory and a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage via a MicroSD card. It packs an 8MP camera on the back, with auto-focus and LED flash, as well as a 2MP Front camera for video calling.
