The company is touting easy screen-off gestures in which users can double tap on the display to wake up the device, slide up or down with two fingers to play or pause the music, or draw a circle to directly access the device's camera. Also included is the double exposure feature for overlapping two images, Beautify, Audio Photo, Pure Image 2.0+, and a silver frame design.
