With smartphones like the Spice Pinnacle FHD Mi-525 entering India and parading a 5-inch 1080p touch panel at a pocket-friendly retail value long before the device in question, who would say that this trend started merely a few months ago? Nevertheless, Spice and many others have taken it upon themselves to put forth such devices for budget-conscious buyers. And it’s those hunting for gadgets in the sub-Rs 17,000 section in this case.
Aiming to ride into the market stocked with Android Jelly Bean, the handset gains impetus from a quad core processor ticking at a clock speed of 1.5GHz. An entire gigabyte of RAM finds itself packed under the frame, in addition to which, the phone offers 8GB of internal storage capacity and scope for up to 32GB expansion.
Like practically all smartphones these days, the Spice Pinnacle FHD Mi-525 nabs dual cameras. Situated on the rear is an 8MP autofocus snapper positioned near an LED flash, which is capable of video recording at a 1080p resolution. Furthermore, support for 3G and Wi-Fi can prove useful during face-to-face conversations over the embedded 2MP webcam.
Speaking of connectivity, keep an eye out for Bluetooth 4.0 and mobile hotspot. If we were to peek underneath the flipside, we would spot a power pack that scales up to 2,100mAh. This battery in turn reserves a spot over a two SIM slots, each of which holds the ability to support 3G cards.
At present, the Pinnacle FHD Mi-525 has been priced at Rs 16,990 and can be pre-ordered solely through Saholic, while it should arrive in stores on July 20. Those who wish to weigh their options will also find the upcoming iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1 and the Lemon Mobile A4 in a similar category.
