Installing custom ROM, using custom themes, the interface and moreover you can get the root permissions. Android is using Linux kernel to do it’s things, where we can take the advantage and run Ubuntu or Debian based Linux operating system (for advanced users).

The screen size is slightly bigger than Samsung galaxy S 2 and as well the weight.The phone was released with android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich which was a huge step forward from android 2.3 Gingerbread.
