The battery, too, is impressive with up to 15 days standby time and 4.5 hours talk-time. It’s the external display though that brings this device to life. The all-new stardust effect is an animation that appears when you interact with the normally hidden external display. This will appear automatically when you receive a call or text, but users can also bring it to life by simply tapping twice on the external display.

And who said you couldn’t get stylish on a budget?
