srt.phone Inspired by Sachin Tendulkar

As for why the Smartron srt.phone can be called inspired by Sachin Tendulkar, and his "dependability", the company has a few things to claim. It says the srt.phone has "best in class antennas for ensuring lowest call drop rates." The company also boasts that the smartphone has the "best drop test results in the category". Other benefits being touted are unlimited storage via the company's t.cloud storage service, as well as the promise of timely Android and security updates. Smartron says one Android security update will be provided every quarter, while at least three major updates will be released for the srt.phone. The Flipkart listing is touting an Android O update will be available for the smartphone.

On the launch of srt.phone, Sachin Tendulkar said, “I had requested the Smartron team to come up with a smartphone for everyone without compromising the “Core” performance and the Smartron premium experience. They designed a stunning smartphone which caters to all the requirements of the people today. This is another opportunity for me to engage with all who have given me much over the years including the second innings of my life.”

Mahesh Lingareddy, Founder and Chairman, Smartron India said, “It [srt.phone] is a phone made for the future with Mastery at the Core. srt.phone is a gift from Sachin to his fans, hence, we made sure we have the best possible features to resemble his characteristics.”

Smartron India is a young company, and debuted its first products in the country last year - the Smartron t.phone smartphone and the Smartron t.book laptop-tablet hybrid. The first was the t.book, which was launched back in March last year at Rs. 39,999. The t.phone was launched at Rs. 22,999 soon after in May.
