The connectivity is good - on top of the 4G you also get NFC for wireless payments and more, Bluetooth 4, GPS and DNLA to connect to your games console, TV, and hundreds of other devices. Great for music fans is the integrated Beats Audio technology which improves the power of the bass as well as the overall sound quality.
