It is provided with a super AMOLED capacitive touch screen with 480*800 pixel display. So, there are no issues with the touch and screen at all. The contrast ratio is high and the colors appear sharp and crisp.
It is powered with a 1GHz chip which makes it quite a speedy gadget. All the operations are smooth and there is no significant lag. There are no problems of hanging in this set.
It is provided with a 5 MP camera equipped with auto-focus/touchfocus and an LED flash. LED flash makes low light shots look quite decent. Although, in low light, some problems regarding focusing have come up in the camera and the images are not properly focused.
Overall, this is a pretty impressive smartphone with a stylish body and impressive hardware inside as well. Neglecting some defects in the camera and yet quite new and raw Bada OS, this proves to be a great phone.
