The smartphone comes with a 5 inch IPS LCD screen with 294 pixel density, which is pretty decent. The Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS is powered by a Quad-core 1.2 Ghz processor, 2GB RAM and PowerVR SGX544 GPU, which are more than capable for everyday use. In addition, it features 8 GB internal memory with MicroSD capability supporting up to 32 GB of extra space.

The device has a 8 MP rear camera with LED flash and a 1.3 MP front camera. The images are still decent even if most mid-range devices come with 13 megapixel cameras these days. A key feature of the phone is its dual sim, dual standby system which allows convenient SIM swapping and management. There is a 2150 mAh Li-ion battery powering up the smartphone. Overall, the device provides smooth user experience with mild gaming capability to satisfy the average person on a budget.
