The real beauty of the phone is its highly crafted design, encompassing a large screen size and battery, and a minimised bezel, all housed in a light (130g) and slim (7.9mm) shape. Slimmer than its predecessors, there's less to hold yet more to see. Available in two colours - Black Mist and White Frost - at launch, a variety of additional colour options will be available later this year.
