Intex Aqua Y2 Mobile Price in India
Intex phones have long penetrated in to the local market. Carving a huge niche of customers for themselves in the market. The manufacturer has a wide variety of smartphones. That range from very low priced to extremely expensive with amazing features. Intex Aqua Y2 strikes a balance in the middle. By not being too expensive or being too cheap in terms of features. Intex Aqua Y2 is able to create a middle point. Where it contains all the essential and valued features while driving the price low.
Design
All Intex phones tend to go for basic and very simplistic design. Perhaps one of the weakest features in most Intex phones is their ability to stand out and be unique in the design department. Aqua Y2 does not much differ from the previous policy. The device adopts a similar approach for its design. Aqua Y2 is constructed out of smooth shiny plastic. The product has shiny and slick finish to it. Aqua Y2 has a 4 Inch screen in the front. Despite having smaller display screen Aqua Y2 does not decrease the dimensions and bezels of the phone. That makes it look slightly elongated. Creating an illusion of much smaller screen than it actually is. Aqua Y2 has very thick bezels at the bottom and top part. The mic along with the camera and proximity sensory are located slightly above the screen. There is a substantial blank space between the Mic and the screen. While at the bottom Aqua Y2 has similar capacitive buttons. Under the buttons there is a significant portion. That is left blank. On the back the device contains the primary camera with LED flash. The company logos are printed in white. Aqua Y2 has dual speakers. In form of ridged dots at the bottom. Overall in terms of design the device has many flaws. That results in an overall disappointing design.
Features and Specifications
Aqua Y2 is amazingly fast. It uses Dual-core processors to drive all its operations. The 1.2 GHZ processor tends to make the device soar. The calling feature and maps on the device are extremely responsive. The users would also be able to enjoy thousands of games and apps on the device. With its integrated 512 MB of RAM. The phone does amazingly well in almost all apps and games. But does tend to falter a bit with graphics intensive games. Due to its limited GPU abilities. The display on the device is also very decent. The 4 Inch LCD display can render 16 M colors. The Video look very sharp on the Aqua Y2. With expandable memory users can increase the level of storage that they have available on their phone. With the help of 32GB SD card. Aqua Y2 also provides users with Dual-sim support.
OS and Tech
Intex Aqua Y2 uses Android 4.2 JB to run itself. Despite being an older version of famous Google’s OS. It is the most stable version currently available on the market. The older OS is a great choice for this Mid-range phone. That allows users to not worry about increased resource consumption by their OS. Older OS enables the Aqua Y2 to concentrate more of its energy on user generated operations. In the entire perspective of the device. Android 4.2 is a good overall fit for the device. That contributes to making the device much faster. Dual core processors merge very well with OS. Android 4.2 was specifically designed in an era when Quad-core or Octa-core devices were not common. Therefore it fully utilizes the dual-core abilities of the device.
Camera and Multimedia
Intex Aqua Y2 is laden with dual cameras. The front camera is very low in resolution. Therefore is more appropriate for video calls. While the back camera contains some nifty features. Such as Panorama and continuous shots. The back and front cameras are 1.3MP and 5 MP respectively.
Battery
Intex Aqua 2 used 1800mAh battery to power itself. Due to smaller screen and lesser core processor. The device requires lesser power to run throughout the day. During the testing the device was able to last for about 3-4 HRS in talk time mode. While when not being actively used it lasted for about 180 HRS on a single charge.
