While the device runs on Android, it is not a smartphone in the sense that it does not have a telephone function. Instead, its wireless connectivity can be used for telecommunication (including video) over the Internet.
Included software allows for in-camera organizing, editing and online sharing or storage of images and videos.[2] As with other Android devices, other software can be downloaded from Google Play.[3]
The device has a "familiar DSLR look", with a larger LCD touchscreen than is customary for that category but fewer buttons and dials.[4] The touchscreen and voice control are used primarily for controlling the camera.
The device has one processor for Android and another, DRIMe IV, for photographic processing.
