Expert Opinion
With a price tag of Rs. 1999, a smartphone instead of a feature phone is a welcome upgrade for buyers. Although the experience which you get with an Intex Cloud FX is not something which will make you go wow, but it still manages to do the basic tasks of a smartphone decently. We believe that because of the price point, it will attract a lot of entry level phone buyers.
