- Accentuating tones are also available in ten colours to personalise the back cover.
The back cover is rubberised which gives it a good grip.
The physical material of the handset is plastic.
IPX7 ensures that it is water proof. It can be drowned in 1meter of water for 30 minutes without any harm. It works fully even when it is soaking wet.
There are no buttons on the fascia.
The edges are curved which make it comfortable to hold and use.
Measuring 11.6mm it feels a bit chunky which doesn’t go with the latest trends.
Power and volume button is on the right edge. Headphone jack sits on the top edge.
USB port is on the bottom edge.
There are two front facing speakers which are not as powerful as you expect them to be.
