Karbonn has released the A7 Star in India in less than a week of revealing the availability details pertaining to the S2 Titanium as well as the A25 and the smartphone in question has gone up on sale at what can be considered a reasonable price. At present, the device can be found on a couple of online outlets such as Infibeam and Snapdeal.
This looks like a clear attempt by the manufacturer to bombard the market with its smartphones, but considering the components at the given amount there’s nothing much we can complain about. For instance, the Karbonn A7 Star houses a 4.5-inch capacitive touch display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels.
While most low-budget handsets are being optimized for Android Jelly Bean or at least are receiving an update, the relevant gadget settles for Ice Cream Sandwich, which can stand to be a major drawback. What it lacks in OS, the phone makes up in the field of its onboard processor. In spite of being made available at an inexpensive MRP, it touts a dual core CPU clocked at 1GHz.
A 5MP snapper has been placed on its flip side with a view to satiate users’ picture clicking and video recording needs. At the same time, a VGA camera takes its place above the screen so as to facilitate live face-to-face conversations. Even though internal storage capacity happens to be really low at 164MB, the manufacturer has offered a solution in the form of an expansion slot.
This port should be compatible with a microSD card of up to 32GB. Speaking of memory, the handset also packs 512MB of RAM. Users can moreover keep an eye out for a 1,400mAh battery and connectivity features like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Snapdeal has made the Karbonn A7 Star available in India at a price of Rs. 6,190. Bargain hunters will also spot the smartphone stocked with Infibeam in the black color at Rs. 5,990.
