There’s the usual swathe of other remarkable specification too, with 4GB of RAM and an Intel Atom Z3580 chipset with a 2.5GHz CPU just to brush the surface.
We’re not too sure of the retail price of the device, nor do we know of a concrete release date (we do hope it makes its way to South Africa), but chances are it will be the flagship to beat.
