 It has a Corning Gorilla glass v3.0 which adds the much-needed protection of the screen from cracks and scratches resulting from the phone dropping on the floor. The device is made up of an aluminium magnesium alloy frame, a non-detachable battery design, a firm fastener and a Nano moulding seamless metal unibody from up to bottom.
