Users can increase the memory further using microSD cards. It runs on Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), the latest version of the OS. Powering the hardware is a largish 1,760 mAh battery.
The phone boasts of a 5-megapixel auto-focus rear camera with LED flash. There is a front camera as well. This one however can shoot stuff only at VGA resolution. Connectivity wise, options are not bad at all with support for 4G LTE, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0. At 130 grams, this one is not a very heavy smartphone – for its size and measures just 9.9mm across. Not exactly think – but thin nevertheless.
