The price of a certain Karbonn A6 has popped up through an online retailer and along with the Titanium S5, the aforementioned device has hit store shelves and can now be purchased for an affordable Rs. 5,390 by those in India. It offers a taste of the Ice Cream Sandwich platform, but may not receive the Jelly Bean update any time soon.
The device comes across as a decent smartphone that refrains from digging a deep hole in interested users’ pockets. Its front panel is dominated by a 4-inch multi-touch WVGA display deployed with IPS technology and it is said to be capable of delivering clear images in 480 x 800p resolution. A digital camera in the front should serve the purpose of making face-to-face video calls over the web.
Prospective customers who wish to utilize the device for capturing images as well as videos can make use of a 5MP rear-facing camera featuring attributes like flash, digital zoom and more. The smartphone measuring 128 x 65.7 x 11.6 millimeters, incorporates an application processor to ensure smooth multitasking by clocking in a speed of 1GHz. 512MB of RAM aside, it ships with 104MB of internal space.
An expansion slot to increase the storage by up to 32GB using a microSD card, has been placed on the phone’s chassis along with a USB port and a 3.5mm audio jack. As far as wireless connectivity is concerned, it can be connected to any open hotspot for web access, thanks to built-in Wi-Fi and as there’s Bluetooth, it should get paired up with compliant gadgets for data transfer.
The Android ICS 4.0 OS brings an intuitive interface to the table and even facilitates smooth transitions between applications. This lightweight handset has a second SIM card slot and keeps users entertained at all times through FM radio and built-in media player. Moreover, its 1450mAh battery can be expected to provide talk time of around 3.5 hours and standby time that lasts for approximately 250 hours.
The Karbonn A6 can now be purchased through Snapdeal.
