A brand new phone called the Micromax Bolt A51 has cropped up on the company’s website, though it must be noted that we’re still to hear anything along the lines of a price for it. The first thing anyone who’s looking for an Android device ought to pick up on is that it runs Gingerbread, which is not one, but two operating platforms old.
This should mean that the company will be positioning the handset in the low range segment and possibly below Rs. 5,000. Waving aside the OS, the list of the main specifications of the phone starts with an 8.89-centimeter, or 3.5-inch, 320 x 480p resolution touchscreen stretched across its face. Embedded above this display is a 0.3MP camera for making video calls.
The back panel plays host to a 2MP lens which comes with flash, and no auto-focus capability. But then again, it’s a very basic Android v2.3.7 device that we’re talking about here. The processing power of the smartphone is squeezed out of an 832MHz CPU which which works with 256MB of RAM to keep things running. Apart from that, there’s 512MB ROM and memory expandability of up to 32GB to look forward to.
In terms of connectivity, users get Bluetooth v3.0, Wi-Fi and 3G. What’s more, there’s dual SIM support and access to the Google Play store too. But for those who need a handset that can handle GPS, this one is definitely not the answer. Lastly, the 1500mAh battery juicing up the device is touted to offer roughly 4.5 hours of talk time as well as over 140 hours of standby time (network unspecified).
Like we’ve already mentioned above, we’re yet to find out how much potential buyers should be expecting to shell out for the Micromax Bolt A51. But it’s pretty likely that major online retailers across India will be stocking it soon. We will add an update once these details are out.
