The iBall Andi 3.5 price has received an official mention, with the OEM claiming the smartphone, which will be selling at Rs. 4,499, to be an apt gift for the approaching Valentine’s Day. This handset will compete with the likes of Micromax’s Smarty 3.0 and Zen Ultraphone U1 within the Indian realm.
Keeping in mind that the Andi 3.5 is an entry-level smartphone, it can be said that it carries decent specifications. For instance, there is a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen HVGA display sitting on the front panel, while a 2MP camera slithers onto the back next to an LED flash and facilitates clicking pictures and recording videos.
Even though the company mentions that there is a front-facing webcam, its exact quality hasn’t been disclosed as yet. One other detail the manufacturer hasn’t spoken of is the internal memory, but it goes on to specify that the handset will be compatible with a microSD card of up to 32GB.
Under the hood, a Cortex A9 processor will be clocked at 1GHz intending to furnish the device with the speed necessary for multitasking. The company states that there will be a 1,500mAh battery powering the smartphone, but the derivable talk time and standby are yet to be known.
The dual SIM device has been optimized for Android Gingerbread. This can be a little disappointing seeing as by paying a little extra, buyers could choose to take home the Videocon VT71 which is an ICS-driven tablet flaunting a 7-inch screen estate and has been made available for Rs. 4,799.
Resuming the topic at hand, the iBall Andi 3.5 is said to have been made available by the company, however no online outlet has put it up for sale at present. We believe it should hit stores before February 14, since the OEM seems so keen on pegging it onto V-Day shoppers’ wish lists. The handset will be radiating shades of either white or a special wine color.
