The Magicon UltraSmart Q50 Magnus is another device apart from the Micromax Canvas 4, Spice CoolPad 2 and Xolo Play to have entered India with a fairly affordable retail tag. Magicon believes that the handset brings attributes that are usually found in the higher end phones.
The device in question binges on a scoopful of Ice Cream Sandwich, version 4.0.4 to be precise which is single-handedly responsible for the intuitive interface. Its front panel is dominated by a 5-inch 5-point capacitive multi-touch screen and just a little bit of space is taken up by a VGA webcam. It goes without saying that this camera can be used for making video conference calls as well as for capturing self portraits.
And if that’s not enough, a 2MP rear-facing camera has been placed on the rear side along with features such as the ability to record videos, auto flash, touch focus, 7x zoom, night mode, multi-shot and many more. In order to save all the captured images and videos, the Magicon UltraSmart Q50 Magnus has an expansion slot to increase the internal space by up to 32GB using a microSD card.
As for the system memory, the device has 512MB of it and employs a 1GHz dual core processor for facilitating multitasking. Its connectivity ports are inclusive of a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB port, while wireless communication options such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also present for transferring data and accessing the web. Also, the handset itself can also assume the role of a mobile hotspot to share internet with multiple gadgets.
Common sensors like an accelerometer and ambient light sensor have been deployed in the smartphone as well. Apart from Google mobile services, it has been pre-loaded with apps such as myplex now and NewsHunt and the phone takes the help of a 1650mAh battery to keep going strong for at least an entire day. It can be picked up in shades of either white or black.
The UltraSmart Q50 Magnus has been made available through shopping portals such as eBay, ShopClues, Tradus, gadgets.in, Infibeam and more for a price of Rs 7,999.
