Details on the smartphone's dual-SIM capability, storage expandability and connectivity features are yet to be known.

As for the iBall Cobalt Oomph 4.7D, the handset's design appears to be copied from the iPhone 6, as seen in the image. The dual-SIM dual-standby smartphone features a 4.7-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) resolution IPS display with pixel density of 312ppi. Like the iBall Xotic, the Cobalt Oomph 4.7D also runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and is upgradeable to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Powered by a Cortex-A7 based quad-core 1.3GHz processor, the smartphone houses 1GB of RAM.
