We have known this mobile for a long time, precisely because it was one of those that was going to be thinner than the iPhone 5.

On the other hand, its interior stands out especially, and it will be dominated by a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core, with a clock speed of 1,5 GHz. This chip is one of the best on the market, and is also accompanied by an unbeatable 2GB RAM.

One of 16 GB, which will cost 3000 Chinese yen, about 370 euros at the current exchange rate; and one of 32 GB, which will cost 3300 Chinese yen, about 405 euros at the current exchange rate.
