Among the interesting features, we find support for Dual-SIM in dual-standby mode (3G only), and of course there is no lack of support for all popular wireless connectivity systems, such as Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0. The SIMs supported are those in standard format and the Micro SIM, with the smartphone that integrates the modules for GPS and accelerometer.
