Intex launches Android KitKat smarphone Aqua T2 at Rs 2,699

Intex has launched an Android based smartphone called the Aqua T2. Also touted as India's lowest-priced KitKat smartphone, the Aqua 2 is priced at Rs. 2699.

The Intex Aqua T2 features a 3.5-inch HVGA display, 256MB of RAM, dual-SIM support, 512MB of internal storage and microSD card slot. The phone also packs 1200 mAh battery, 1.3GHz MediaTek dual-core processor, 2MP rear camera and VGA front shooter.

Although at the given price-tag, the specifications are decent but the limited on-board storage and low RAM remain two big roadblocks in decent smartphone experience. We hope that in the near future, we will finally start seeing at least 512MB of RAM in such phones with 4GB of on-board storage but until then getting an ultra-cheap smartphone will only result in a crappy smartphone experience.

The phone will be available in black and grey variants exclusively from e-retailer Flipkart, according to the company. No official listing has appeared on Flipkart's website but the device will make an appearance soon.

Mobile Business Head for Intex Technologies, Sanjay Kumar Kaliron said in a statement that, "Amongst all handsets offering 4.4 KitKat OS today, this one is definitely the lowest in the price segment and it comes with a 3.5-inch screen coupled with a 2G network".
