Previously, we had reported on the Intex IN 2060 V.DO dual SIM video phone. Today, the company has debuted what it claims to be the first projector phone launched in India by a domestic mobile handset manufacturer. Titled Intex V.Show, the handset was unraveled by Prachi Desai at an event in Mumbai.
The handset flaunts an inbuilt projector, which can project movies, pictures, music videos as well as other Internet content on a screen or wall of up to 61 inches. The handset offers high intensity projection of 10 lumens and QWVGA resolution. The distance between the phone and the screen should be up to 12ft.

All these come neatly packed in a smart design to fit into your pocket.”
