The large touch screen has a 21:9 aspect ratio, so its long and thin with a large screen. It runs a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and includes all the fancy high end features you would expect from a 3G device trying to bridge the gap between phone and tablet: 6-axis motion sensing (Gyroscope + accelerometer), two cameras 8MP camera for photos and 2MP front camera for video calling.”
