The phone is being marketed with a focus on software and services, and runs a near-stock Android 5.1 Lollipop being called 'Android on Steroids', but with minor tweaks such as a vertical app drawer, and a monochrome mode for reading and extending battery life. The company promises an upgrade to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow within a month from launch.
The smartphone will be available in Rush Silver, Graphite, and Rush Gold colour variants, though the last will be available in limited quantities for the first few sales.
