The touchscreen device features a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a front-facing 2-megapixel camera with LED flash, autofocus and 1080p HD video recording in both dual shot and recording mode for stunning photos and video using new photo features like Dual Shot, which allows the use of both cameras simultaneously so users can include themselves in pictures and videos.
