optimisation to the sharpness enhancement, high-quality colour management and

noise reduction.

too with a precision-crafted co-moulded aluminium frame, for a seamless look

that is both sleek and solid. Adding to the unique design innovation is the

colour-changing 'transparent element' with customisable illuminations which you

can personalise to alert you of incoming calls and text messages. And you can

even set the illuminations to pulse to the beat of your favourite music.
