A118 comes with a 8MP of Rear camera with Auto-Focus, Smart LED Flash and 3 Megapixel Front facing camera where as the company’s device celkon A119Q was launched with 12MP camera.

Some big pluses about this device are – Android 4.2.1, and 3 megapixel front camera. This smartphone is priced at Rs. 12,500 which looks good as most of the other device in this segment gets the range of 13000 plus.
