What’s New

- Tablet and phone in one: This is the most exciting news for the users to get to experience tablet and phone in one device.
Downsides:
- High price: This phone is definitely not for the masses as it’s priced high.
- Phone mode is not the attractive: It is an ugly device when folded down in ‘phone mode’, after all – the 4.6-inch screen sits between two huge bezels.
