The weighs 7.3 ounces, that is quite heavy for a smart phone.

Camera:

There are a few loosely placed plastic rings around the camera lens and this is where the camera app opens. While changing the settings tor modes the camera freezes and gets kind of stuck for a while and then there are a crazy number of modes and you can also pick the best mode depending on the environment of the image capture. The manual setting is a better option to adhere for; the silver ring on the lens activates the zoom for the camera of the smart phone that focuses the lens at focal length of 10x. The focus on the object is pretty fast and the shots that were captured at 10x zoom were sharp and crisp. The camera fails to focus a face on the background to its best but then when you zoom enough for the background to take coverage then the focus of the camera on the smart phone seems pretty strong. The shutter also responds quickly and the shot to shot time that was recorded is better than a normal camera. The secondary camera that is of 1.9 MP also records videos at HD resolution of 1080p up to 25 minutes.
