By now you must have already heard about this cheapest Android smartphone in India launched by Karbonn by the name of Karbonn A50s. I don’t know why but this device seems to be the best kind of gift for your parents who have not used an Android before and have been running away from it because its high-price. Even after being available at the price mark of Rs. 2,790, the specifications of this device are not bad, let us take a look at them in detail.
Camera and Internal Storage
The device is equipped with a primary camera of 2 MP and secondary camera of 0.2 MP. We find it really astonishing as in Karbonn even manages to provide a secondary camera at the price of video calling, so you are missing out on any basic functionality even at this lower price.
The internal memory storage capacity of the device is 512 MB which can be extended up to 32GB with the help of external memory support.
Processor and Battery
The Mediatek Dual Core Processor clocked at the frequency of 1.2 GHz is really decent at this kind of price (you can now imagine the cost of a raw Dual Processor by Mediatek, I think they are the only reason that Android smartphones are being produced at such a low cost). This processor is also supported by 512MB of RAM
The battery available on the device has the strength of 1100 mAh which is decent looking at the screen size and the resolution of display.
Display and Features
The device is available with the screen size of 3.5 Inches with the resolution of 480 x 320 pixels, this kind of screen can still be seen on iPhone 4S and believe me it is not that bad. It will feel awkward if you have been using a larger device initially but after sometime it will be fine for you.
The device will come preloaded with 4.2.2 and there is no clue whether Karbonn will be providing the upgrades for this device or not.
