•	With the Android ecosystem, some available Play 
Store applications only operate correctly with 
phones that have a specific screen resolution. 
Please be advised that some of the applications on 
the Play Store may not be available for your phone 
due an LCD resolution requirement that does not 
match your phone. In addition, please be aware that 
3rd party applications with programming defects 
may cause abnormal behavior of your phone.
(The upper screen 
displays may vary by 
software version.)
