Display and Water resistant Design

Being IP68/IP65 certified, this smartphone resists dust and continues to work normally even in 1m deep water for around 30 minutes. It has a thickness of just 8.6mm which means you will never feel like putting it down. It has a wonderfully crafted ceramic matte finish for the rear panel and a metallic frame which oozes excellence.

 

Processor and OS

 

At the heart of the device, there is a mighty 1.2GHz Cortex A7 quad-core processor sitting on Qualcomm MSM8926-2 Snapdragon 400 chipset working in combination with 1GB RAM. A brilliant Snapdragon processor means you have the luxury to enjoy seamless multi tasking. The graphics is managed brilliantly by the Adreno 305 GPU. It runs on the latest Android v4.4.2 KitKat OS.
