It has a 5.5-inch (1920 x 1080 pixels) full HD IPS display based on One Glass Solution (OGS) technology, powered by a 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 801 processor (instead of Snapdragon 800 at the time it was announced) and runs on Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) OS. It comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera with LED Flash, Sony sensor, full HD video recording and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
It has three microphones for noise reduction that makes voice calls clearer. It also supports 4G LTE. There were rumors that the phone would have 4GB RAM, after a ZTE smartphone appeared on Tenna certification database, but this has 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal memory. ZTE also offers an exclusive 32GB variant with 3GB RAM.
