It features 2.5D Corning Gorilla glass on both the front and back with an aluminum frame in between, it exudes style despite the mid-range placement.

The front-facing camera is a standard 5MP unit that can also be software interpolated to 8MP. A non-removable 2,200 mAh lithium-ion battery keeps the smartphone juiced up for about a day of moderate usage.
