Screen and size

The smaller phone has a 3.5-inch display, which is still large enough to maneuver. Glossy surfaces help the handset slip into your pocket.

Cameras

I wasn't a big fan of the 3.2-megapixel camera's performance. Photos were generally blurry and dull. However, the 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera was closer to hitting the right marks.

Storage

You've got 4GB of internal storage to work with, and a convenient microSD card slot for adding up to 32GB more.

Backing

One final look at the fit and finish, plastic that resembles a more premium brushed metal.
