Verdict
Despite hitting the market with a curvy aspect to it, Intex Aqua Curve may be disregarded by most for its nothing unique or has anything akin to the kind of extraordinary features one may look for in a new smartphone. Moreover, Aqua Curve may face competitions by Samsung Galaxy Round if solely the curved design is considered. Other than that XOLO Q700S, Micromax Canvas Magnus A117 and XOLO Q1000 may also impede the progress of this handset. However, one might overlook its faults given the amount of smart features this phone has to offer at such nominal prices.
