Carries 1 year of Microsoft 365 Office 365 for productivity needs. Keyboard Dock carries 2580 mAh battery.

As for connectivity, it is Dual Sim Dual Standby Handset with both sim cards supports LTE. One cellular data at the time but you can easily switch to the other network if your data is unreliable.

It has a great aesthetics with clear cut glass on the front featuring a circular green home button together with capacitive keys accentuated with silver at top and bottom bezel that runs on the sides housing the volume rocker, power/lock and dedicated camera shutter. The back case is made with a sandstone-like matte coating that has a good feel, not slippery and does not attract smudges nor fingerprints.

The Flash 2 runs smooth and fluid Android Lollipop Stock UI with less bloatwares. You also have gesture controls with Double Tape to wake and other smart gestures. Antutu benchmark reached nearing 37K score. I am pretty sure it will handle most of the apps you throw at it.

As for camera, here are samples:

So far the Phase Detection Auto Focus works fast and stays focus. Tried Focus test, Left Shot focuses on the Teddy while Right Shot focuses on the background.

No problem in taking photos in well lit or low light conditions. Level of saturation is on point and no signs of details washing out. Shots taken in low light is not grainy.
