Intex has launched a 4G enabled smartphone with Sailfish OS
2.0, called the Aqua Fish. The smartphone is priced at Rs 5,499, and is
available in orange color.
At the MWC earlier this year, Intex unveiled a Sailfish OS
2.0 based smartphone, the Aqua Fish. The company had then revealed it will be
launching the smartphone in India ‘within a few months’. Now, Intex has
officially announced the launch of the Aqua Fish in India. Priced at Rs 5,499,
the smartphone will be available via ebay.com. It will soon be available
through Flipkart, Snapdeal and Amazon in the coming weeks.
Interestingly, it took about one year for Intex to
commercially launch the Sailfish OS based smartphone after announcing a
partnership with Jolla in July 2015. The company had initially aimed to launch
a Sailfish OS based smartphone in November last year. Intex had said it would
launch an under Rs 10,000 smartphone with 4G connectivity and Sailfish OS.
Intex also happens to be Jolla’s first licensing partner for the operating
system.
Intex Aqua Fish specifications
The smartphone features a 5-inch HD (1280×720 pixels) IPS
display. Under the hood is a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, which is paired with
2GB of RAM. Also on offer is 16GB of internal storage, which can be further,
expanded up to 32GB via microSD card.
Intex Aqua Fish features
As expected star feature of the Intex Aqua Fish is Sailfish
2.0 OS. Built like Linux distribution, Sailfish is based on open source and is
developed by Jolla and the Sailfish OS community. The Sailfish 2.0 allows
users to perform quick tasks through gestures. It also supports Android apps.
The Intex Aqua Fish comes with a pre-loaded Gaana Music app.
The Aqua Fish also has other pre-loaded apps such as Jolla Store, Mail,
Calendar, Tutorial, Notes, Snapdeal to name a few.
For photography, the smartphone sports an 8-megapixel rear
camera with LED flash and a 2-megapixel front facing camera. On the
connectivity front, the Aqua Fish supports dual-SIM, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
GPS/A-GPS, a microUSB port, G-Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Light Sensor. It is
powered by a 2,500mAh battery, which the company claims is good enough to offer
talktime of 6-7 hours and standby time of up to 20 days.
Looking at the specifications and price tag, the smartphone
will face tough competition from the likes of Phicomm Energy 670 and Reliance
Digital LYF Flame 1 among other popular entry-level 4G Android smartphones.
