Looks like Intex has got more budget-devices under its sleeve with the Aqua Wonder 2 grabbing attention this time, having aimed at a release date of April 12 in India and a price that falls below the Rs. 10,000 mark. The manufacturer has been known to bring forth to the public affordable devices possessing passable specifications.
In a statement to NDTV Gadgets, the company has revealed that plans to launch the phone soon are currently underway. This comes in quick succession of its predecessor’s unveiling, which by the way is selling for a paltry sum of Rs. 9,990. The maker sure wastes no time in brandishing one device after another. Just recently we witnessed two smartphones popping up and taking their places in the budget handset line up. These phones go by the names of SX and Star.
Getting back to the device in question, it is said to possess what seem like pretty average specifications but considering the label affixed to it, this could probably be forgiven. A quad core Mediatek MT6589 CPU carries out the assigned tasks and is helped along by a modest 512MB of RAM. The integration of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean should please prospective users.
Consisting of similar hardware details as its elder sibling, the only point of difference between the two appears to be its processor. Of course, this will be confirmed only upon an official announcement. A 1,800mAh battery is expected to breathe life into the device and 2GB of memory has been set apart for consumers. The incorporation of a microSD slot permits users to expand their storage options by up to 32GB.
As for external specifics, a 4.5-inch IPS display rests on the front panel giving out visuals at 960 x 540 pixel resolution. Dual cameras dwell on the phone, with an 8MP primary snapper embedded on the rear and a 1.3MP secondary lens fitted above the touchscreen. Unfortunately, we do not have any information regarding the dimensions and the weight as of now.
The manufacturer’s latest offering could pose as a threat to wallet-friendly smartphones which include the Nokia Lumia 510, the Lava Xolo A800 and the Huawei Ascend G510. All these phones fall under the same rate bracket and even possess comparable particulars.
Though a considerable amount of details of the Intex Aqua Wonder 2 have managed to seep out, it can only be validated once the maker brings it out in the open.
The disclosed specifications are listed below:
– Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
– Mediatek MT6589 quad core SoC
– 512 MB RAM
– 2GB onboard storage, expandable via a microSD slot
– 1,800mAh power pack
– 4.5-inch IPS touchscreen, 960 x 540 pixels
