Phicomm has launched the Passion 660 smartphone priced at Rs 10999, making it the first time ever that the Chinese company has unveiled a product in India. This news doesn’t come as a surprise since it did announce its intention to enter the fray along with Xiaomi only last month. For those who missed out on what the Phicomm Passion 660 has to offer in terms of specifications, here we go.
A 64-bit octa core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset with support for 4G LTE powers the Phicomm Passion 660. A lot of budget-friendly phones have been landing with 4G capability lately. But they won’t have any great advantage over 3G in most places across India since the next generation network is not yet widely available. In spite of this, shipments of 4G handsets in the country hit 2134000 units during the first quarter of 2015.
Although the Passion 660 has landed with the Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS, Phicomm has promised an update to Lollipop without committing to a time-frame. The unremarkable-looking smartphone can be picked up in black or white. It has a full HD touchscreen above which sits a 5MP camera for selfie addicts, while a 13MP snapper may be found on the back panel. Users can expect 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory space and a microSD card slot accommodating up to 64GB of extra hoarding room.
