Talking about the camera the 13MP sensor on the LTE model offers 4K video recording (2160p recording at 30fps and 1080p recording at 60fps) with an LED flash. But there is no 4K recording on the 3G variant. Other camera goodies include dual shot, image stabilization, Panorama and HDR mode. The 2MP front cam also offers 1080p recording which helps you make vivid face calls.
