In addition, the Ascend G600 boasta an impressive 8-megapixel rear photo snapper with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording. There's also a secondary front-facing camera for video calls.

Another strong point of the smartphone is the 4.5-inch LCD IPS HD capacitive touchscreen display that supports 960 x 540 pixels resolution and 16 million colors.
