The R1 measures in at just 7.1mm and features Gorilla Glass on the front and rear of the body. On the inside is a quad-core Mediatek processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB memory and 2410mAh battery.
Expect for the thinness and overall dimensions of 127.7 x 70.4 x 7.1mm other selling points are the lightweight (140g) and the rear camera which is an 8 mega-pixel Sony sensor with f2.0 aperture.
