Intex Technologies had already announced that it will be bringing a smartphone integrated with the MediaTek octa core processor which was launched only yesterday. And now the company has introduced its prototype in India. It has also disclosed that the device will hit store shelves in January next year and will set users back by Rs 20,000.
Intex claims to be the first domestic manufacturer to use this chipset. An event was held yesterday to take the covers off the prototype of the smartphone that’s coming in early 2014. Huawei is another company that supposedly has plans to unveil smart devices complete with the MT6592 octa core chipset and Zopo ZP998 that makes the most of the component has already been released.
Some of the details regarding the device have been graciously provided by Intex. First of all, as we said, it integrates the MT6592 chipset that claims to clock in a speed of 1.7GHz. It is likely to be intuitive considering that it takes advantage of the Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 platform and its interface is displayed via a touchscreen that takes up 6 inches of space on the front panel.
Moreover, the smartphone is said to be capable of spurting out HD visuals and its IPS screen should ensure a wide viewing angle. You will also get to choose between variants with either 16GB or 32GB onboard memory. All of the features are packed within a chassis that measures only 7mm in thickness.
For refresher’s sake, the unnamed Intex octa core smartphone is slated to start selling in January for a price of around Rs 20,000.
