The phone is sufficiently thin and has about 9.3 mm thickness. This will give the user ease of carrying it around.

Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 processor which is clocked at 1500 MHz and having ARMv7 instruction set is used to power the phone. 1 GB of LPDDR2 SDRAM is also provided to aid the processor in its working. The phone is provided with connectivity options like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB along with a built in GPS module. NFC support is also present.
