by Ritij Khurana • February 18, 2013

It is raining cheap droids. After the Indian electronics companies are giving their flagship Android powered smartphones their due share of attention, they are shifting their focus to the entry level smartphones simply because the entry level droids are way more affordable and the volumes in this segment are so much that you simply can not ignore this segment. Recently Spice announced the Spice Smart Flo mi-351 and now Micromax has announced its rival, the Micromax A27 at a price of Rs.3,399 and it undercuts its rival by Rs.300 in terms of pricing.

The Micromax A27 Ninja had first made its appearance at the company’s website a few days ago and the official launch was on the cards. The smartphone is available on Saholic.com for you to purchase. The A27 comes with a 3.5 inch capacitive display which has a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels. The device will run on a slightly outdated Android version, Android 2.3 Gingerbread but given the price at which it comes, we did not really expect Android 4.1 Jelly Bean either.

It is the era of the quad-cores and the octa-cores but the segment which brings in the maximum amount of volumes is the budget smartphone segment. Spice Mobility, the company which started out as a telecom service provider in the country is now very well on route of competing with the Indian electronics manufacturers.

The budget device comes with a 3.5 inch capacitive display and has a dual-sim support like every budget offering out there in the market.

Aakash 2 Tablet At Rs. 1500 For Students

by Ritij Khurana • February 18, 2013

The Indian government might just increase the subsidized price of the country’s cheapest tablet, the Aakash 2 from the current Rs.1,130 to Rs.1,500. The country’s President, Mr.Pranab Mukherjee had launched the Aakash 2 back in November at a price of Rs.1,130 for the students at a subsidized price whereas the commercial version of the tablet started selling as the UbiSlate 7Ci at a price of Rs.4,499. The country’s Telecom and IT minister, Mr.Kapil Sibal has been the one to make this announcement.

A couple of days ago, Mr.Kapil Sibal stated to the reporters that, “I asked Rajat Moona (director general, C-DAC) to help us in Aakash. Let us take that Aakash to the people of this country for a sum of Rs 1,500. Each student must have a Aakash in his/her hand so that they can see the world with it,” Now what we infer from this is that either the government intends on increasing the subsidised price of the slate or Rs.1,500 would be the price tag of the next generation of tablet.
