The device sported a 4.7-inch TFT LCD display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels (WVGA). While this resolution resulted in a pixel density of roughly 199 ppi—which was considered low even by 2013 standards, leading to visible pixelation on text and images—the screen size itself was considered a "sweet spot" for usability, bridging the gap between smaller phones and the emerging "phablet" trend.

While the Cortex-A5 cores were entry-level in terms of architecture, the four cores allowed for decent multitasking and smoother navigation compared to single or dual-core budget phones of the time. It came with 1GB of RAM and 4GB or 8GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD card—a necessity given the limited internal space.

Then (2013): A decent budget phablet alternative, but overshadowed by better value devices like the Moto G or even Samsung’s own Galaxy Grand series. While this resolution resulted in a pixel density
