channels, as well as the Tunein radio application, which makes it possible to tune in to
more than 50 thousands stations without any interference.

screen scene, due to its embedded LCD IPS technology. Turkcell MaxiPLUS5, developed in
cooperation with ZTE, ensures fast and easy use of all applications embedded on the device

Turkcell MaxiPLUS5 enables a standby duration 200 hours on 3G and 240 min of talking.
