India based tech manufacturer Intex has announced the launch of a new smartphone called Intex Aqua Star L that is priced at Rs 6,990. The highlight of the smartphone is that it is preinstalled with Android 5.0 Lollipop. Following this launch, Intex becomes the first native vendor to announce an Android Lollipop based smartphone at a budget price point.

The Intex Aqua Star L is given a 5 inch fully laminated IPS display with a FWVGA screen resolution of 480×854 pixels. Though the resolution remains low, the fully laminated panel is appealing at this pricing as it will eliminate the reflections completely. The device draws power from a 1.3 GHz quad core processor that is paired with 1 GB of RAM for moderate multitasking.
