Camera has been reduced to 5MP but the device can capture HD 720p videos @25fps and can play 1080p HD videos. No changes have been made in the connectivity specs of the phone and it will still have Bluetooth v3.0 plus Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n support.

Coming to the look n feel of the device – Just 9.5mm thick device appears to be the exact replica of Galaxy S2. The metallic design makes the device feel sturdy in hands.
