Our View

The budget smartphone bearing a price tag of Rs. 3,299 is certainly a pocket-friendly smartphone but we are not yet sure whether it will be wooing a lot of users with its minimal specs. Speaking about it, the most important aspect of a smartphone will be the memory capacity- this device comes with just a mere 512MB of internal memory which will be choked and becomes unreliable the moment you download a few basic apps. Since most of the users will be downloading apps like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp etc, the storage space would be filled up quickly.

The 2 MP rear camera with the LED flash is just right for the price paid. It is better not to be expecting much from the featured Android KitKat as it is famous for its sluggish performances. Apart from the above mentioned we believe that the handset is a good buy after all its just Rs. 3,299/-
