Face Unlock
T2 brings a cool alternative to using a password when securing your device. Now you can unlock the phone with the appearance of your face. When holding T2 in front of your face, the device will use a facial recognition technology to compare your face with a previously saved photo of it. If they match, the phone unlocks.

Just press the volume down button and the power button at the same time. Then a snapshot of the screen will be saved in the screenshots folder in the gallery.

Data usage
T2 can monitor your mobile data usage and give you a history of the last month, showing you how much data you have used and on which apps. You can even set a limit on your data usage. Then, as you approach the limit, the phone will warn you, and once you pass it, the phone will disable the network connection.
Google Play
Via T2 you get access to Google’s entertainment hub, Google Play, where you can buy apps, movies, books, and music in some countries. There are more than 400,000 apps available in Google Play and a lot of them come in free versions, including Facebook, Twitter and Angry Birds to name but a few.
