The most striking feature of the screen is that it comes with inbuilt motion sensor that can take input via hand gesture i.e. users can take photos, browse through music player, and tune FM radio channels without touching the screen.

In terms of hardware components, it packs 1.2GHz ARMv7 based quad-core chipset having 1GB RAM and 4GB inbuilt memory (expandable up to 32GB). It also houses 8.0-megapixel camera with LED flash on the rear side and 2.0-megapixel front-facing secondary camera.
