14 DAY TRIAL // It’s been less than a week since Intex launched the Aqua Style smartphone in India and the company is back with yet another mid-range handset, the Aqua Style Pro.
As the name suggests, the Aqua Style Pro smartphone is the slightly enhanced version of the Intex Aqua Style that went on sale less than a week ago.
Intex seems to have high hopes for the Aqua Style Pro, as the smartphone was presented by Tollywood actress Anushka Shetty, who was also named ambassador for the Indian company for one year.
For those who don’t remember, Intex did a similar move when it introduced the Aqua Style in India earlier this month, but appointed actor Sudeep as brand ambassador for one year instead.
Moving on to specs, the Aqua Intex Style Pro is a mid-range smartphone that will ship with Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system out of the box, fonearena reports.
According to Intex, the smartphone will go on sale in India in the next couple of days for only Rs 6,990 outright, which is about $115 or €85. Intex Aqua Style Pro will be available for purchase through multiple major retailers across the country, in both black and white colors.
The smartphone has been confirmed to sport a 4.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display that supports 480 x 854 pixels resolution. As expected, it offers dual-SIM capability, as well as dual cameras (8-megapixel rear-facing photo snapper and 2-megapixel front camera).
Intex Aqua Style Pro is armed with a 1.2GHz quad-core Broadcom BCM23550M processor, a Videocore IV graphics processing unit and 1GB of RAM. The device also packs 8GB of internal memory and microSD card slot for storage expansion (up to 32GB).
Connectivity-wise, the Aqua Style Pro offers both 3G HSPA+ and Wi-Fi connectivity for Internet browsing, as well as Bluetooth, microUSB and GPS with A-GPS support. It’s also worth mentioning that the smartphone is powered by a 1800 mAh battery, which has yet to be rated by the manufacturer.
“The Aqua range is very popular amongst our target audience. The range stands for style and quality at affordable price points. Our focus will be on South India going forward, a market that is unique in its own way. Here, the mobile users are more informed and glued to technology.
“With Aqua Style range, we endeavor to provide them advanced technology at economical rates. We hope the customers like our products,” said Sanjay Kumar Kalirona, senior general manager – Mobile Business, Intex Technologies.
