| they are equipped the same excellent 3.7-inch | | | | interface for most of the Android operating system |
| AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display with a native | | | | experience. There are more usable space on the |
| resolution of 480x800. If I have to pick a winner, I | | | | home screen, better media apps and a sleeker |
