The player supports DLNA, can display lyrics and look for similar composition. The media player has no equalizer, but it has presets for multiple typefaces – from headphones to specific models Xiaomi.

FM radio requires a headset and can play sound through it or the speaker. The app can record the stream and has a sleep timer.

Text messaging
