Sound and Connectivity
Audio needs were clearly addressed with the inclusion of a loudspeaker and the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack, catering to both speaker listeners and those preferring wired headphones. In terms of connectivity, the inclusion of Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac and Wi-Fi Direct supported robust wireless network access, while Bluetooth 4.2 offered reliable pairing with various devices. Notably absent was NFC, limiting contactless payment and quick Bluetooth pairing functions, although it did include an FM radio for traditional radio broadcasts, a feature that still finds favor with many.
