- Pixel Qi’s multiple mode screen – that means switch between full-color mode for watching videos and black and white reflective mode for reading books.
- nVidia Tegra processor.
- Android OS – Everyone says it has a lot of promise so it must be true
. - A ton of features and sensors – we’re talking water sensor (whatever that is), ambient light sensor and much more.
