There’s a new phablet in tech-town known as the Josh Fortune HD and the smartphone has set out on a journey to join other affordable Android handsets in India. The most recent contender by Josh Mobiles flaunts a 5.3-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels.
Even though the Josh Fortune HD should ideally fall on the wishlist of those seeking low-budget smartphones, the components that it has to offer may not be up to the mark when compared to its rivals. One of its major drawbacks happens to be the Ice Cream Sandwich OS, which to be honest, is outdated now that multiple versions of Jelly Bean are already out.
At the gadget’s heart rests a dual core 1.2GHz chipset. This could mean that the device might get overshadowed by handsets like the Intex Aqua I-5 and Micromax Canvas 2 Plus. These have perched themselves on outlets with retail tags resembling that of the phone in question, but in return, bring components like quad core processors and Android 4.2 OS to the table.
The silver lining in the scenario for the Josh Fortune HD is its onboard rear-mounted camera touting an 8MP sensor that can be employed for the purpose of clicking some good-quality snaps. A 3MP lens which has been positioned on the front panel comes in handy during live face-to-face conversations over 3G or Wi-Fi.
The Josh Fortune HD proffers 2GB of internal memory, while the precise storage space available to users hasn’t been divulged. In the event that this falls short and we are guessing it most probably will, then owners can find refuge in the built-in expansion port to support a microSD card of up to 32GB capacity. They will be able to derive approximately 4.5 hours of talk time or 2 days of standby, thanks to the embedded 2,400mAh battery.
The Fortune HD has been attached with a price tag of Rs 11,999 and it should strike stores very soon.
