- Its 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing vibrant colors and decent clarity with a pixel density of approximately 306 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset, dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU, and 2GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking for its time.
