Ranging from India-centric user interface themes to the revolutionary Ultra Data Saving mode, the Indian R&D team has played a key role in the overall development of the device.

The smartphone also comes embedded with an all new 'Smart Manager' that looks after the device's operations and settings to ensure optimal performance.

Measuring just 8.4 mm, the device comes with soft, rounded edges that ensure a comfortable grip. It is available in Gold, White and Black colors, and is complemented with a premium metallic finish and faux-leather back panel.
