This phone is a mid-range android smart phone launched first in 2011.
It has a 3.5 inch TFT screen.
The screen's resolution is 480 x 320 pixel.
The screen is not very good like those in bigger smart phones.
Its screen looks grainy and pixels are clearly visible even from
far distance. But if you are not that of a picky customer than it will be
okay for you.
Overall its screen is average.
