This cellphone counts with a 4 GB internal storage, an average quantity that should be fine for the majority of users having that this phone also has an external memory card slot .
This cellphone features two cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 MP front side camera. In addition, the camera features a couple of useful characteristics like flash, auto-focus, HDR mode and face detection shooting.
