It is powered by Android 4.1, Jelly Bean and comes with an 8 megapixel rear-facing and a 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera.

“This is yet another landmark release in a stunning year for mobile technology, and we will continue to do our utmost to be the destination of choice for both product and value-added service,” he added.
