Intex launched Aqua 4.0 for Rs.5490

Delhi-based Intex, which has placed all its mobile eggs in the multi-SIM basket, seems to firmly believe that the Indian public can never have enough of multiple SIM cards, going by its portfolio of nearly 50 dual-SIM phones. Continuing in the same vein, after bringing out a dual-SIM feature phone earlier this month, it has now launched its first Android-based 3G dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) smartphone. The Aqua 4.0 is powered by a modest 800 MHz CPU — admittedly enough for its onboard Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) — and features a 3.5" capacitive touchscreen. Why the product has "4.0" in the name when it doesn't have Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), isn't upgradeable to that OS version, and even lacks a 4" screen is anybody's guess.

The manufacturer plans to release five more Android handsets in the next few months. Although the product page isn't available as of this writing, here's the list of specs as mentioned in the press release:

• Dual-SIM GSM; dual-band 3G.
• 3.5", 2-point capacitive touchscreen with pixel dimensions of 320x480.
