The device packs a standard suite of connectivity options, including support for 4G LTE. 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB of on-board storage is available, with further expansion via microSD possible up to 64 GB. The rear speaker is denoted by a very large speaker grill that packs a powerful speaker with an amazing sound quality
