The phone sports a 6 inch curved display with 1280×720 pixel resolution. The phone’s unique rear case has the ability to heal itself post scratches. Here is the official video showcasing the same.
The phone is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM. The phone also has more than sufficient 32GB of onboard storage.
