- It has a 3.5-inch TFT display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7625A Snapdragon S1 chipset, an 800 MHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 256MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.

- The battery capacity is 1400mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- It runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), which is outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
