Graphic Design: What's Going On In This Design?

-The ad from the magazine is being advertised by Sprint. The ad is showing a new phone that they have come out with.
-To me, I don't think that the ad completely showcases what features are on the phone. It doesn't really tell us any information about what it can do and how it works.
-I think that the ad is easily readible and the size is good for an ad.
