The GW880 has a 3.5-inch touch-screen with 800 x 480 resolution, and is designed to support the TD-SCDMA network, China’s own 3G standard.

The company’s second Android-based smartphone following the LG GW620 has a 5-megapixel camera module and Bluetooth connectivity along with GPS. The GW880 offers a mobile TV function with a CMMB (China Multi Media Broadcasting) TV tuner.
