The company has announced that the Intex Aqua T2 will be exclusively available on Flipkart. However, as of now, the smartphone is not listed on the e-commerce website. We can expect the smartphone to go on sale soon.
Intex's latest budget smartphone replaces Celkon's Campus A35K, priced at Rs. 2,999, as India's cheapest Android 4.4 KitKat smartphone.
The domestic handset maker has been continuously expanding its budget smartphone range, launching the Intex Aqua 4X smartphone at Rs. 2,999 last week.
The Intex Aqua T2 is a dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) device and features a 3.5-inch HVGA (320x480 pixels) IPS display. The smartphone is powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core MediaTek (MT6571) processor coupled with 256MB of RAM.
It comes with 512MB of inbuilt storage, which is further expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB). It sports a 2-megapixel rear camera with LED flash while there is a secondary 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera also onboard. The Aqua T2 rear camera features multiple modes to shoot which include Panorama, HDR, and continuous shot.
On the connectivity front, the Aqua T2 offers GPRS/ EDGE, Wi-Fi, Micro-USB, and Bluetooth options. Unfortunately, the smartphones does not support 3G connectivity. Notably, Celkon's Campus A35K offers 3G connectivity support, a highlight of the device at its price.
The smartphone packs a 1200mAh battery and comes with FM radio. The Intex Aqua T2 will be available in Grey and Black colours.
Commenting on the launch, Sanjay Kumar Kalirona, Mobile Business Head, Intex Technologies said, "Our latest offering in the Aqua collection - the T2 is a technology front runner available at an amazing price point. Amongst all handsets offering 4.4 KitKat OS today [Tuesday], this one is definitely the lowest in the price segment and it comes with a 3.5-inch screen coupled with a 2G network. We are delighted to partner with e-commerce giant Flipkart and hope to further our association with more such innovative and best priced devices in the coming future."
Last month, the company launched its first Firefox OS smartphone in India, the Cloud FX, priced at Rs. 1,999. The handset was touted as the 'most affordable smartphone'.
