It seems good, but the sunlight brings a mirror effect that is disturbing, but that is not new for most smartphones. 3D menu, applications or content created in 3D can be seen with the naked eye, but could become annoyng after some time. The three-dimensional effect is really impressive, although the display is not that big.

The sound is strong and clear. No problems there
