The display is a 3.27-inchHVGATFT LCD screen with a higherpixel density (320×480) than on a previous-generation model. Inclusion of NFC (Near Field Communication) varies by model.
The phone includes a plain 3-megapixel rear camera protected by a hardened scratch-proof glass, but does not include autofocus and flash.
