On the other hand, the Sonata 2 is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU, and sports a 4-inch 800x480 display. It also comes with 1GB RAM, but has just 4GB of expandable internal memory. Camerawise, the successor to last year's Sonata features a 5MP rear and 2MP front unit. It packs in a 1650mAh battery, and runs Android 4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box.
