<div><strong>Intex Aqua Speed HD</strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Price:</span> Rs. 9,390<br /><br />There is a huge variety of smartphones under the 10K segment and one such new entrant is the Aqua Speed HD from Intex. As the name suggests, the company has put an effort to provide powerful hardware including a quad-core 1.3GHz processor coupled with 2GB of RAM to handle all your multitasking needs. Apart from that you get 16GB of inbuilt storage which can be further expanded.</div><div> </div><div>It might sound like a good deal for the price, but there are other smartphones like the Lenovo A6000 Plus, Yu Yureka or the Lava Iris X8, which offer a similar if not a better package than the Aqua Speed HD. The smartphone has a decent looking design, although it feels outdated. There is plastic all over with a pretentious metal frame which is actually plastic covered in chrome. Intex has taken reference from Sony and has put similar power and volume buttons and even the placement of the rear camera is similar to what we have seen on Xperia smartphones. The back panel is removable, but is very flimsy and takes an effort to remove and putting it back as the hinges don’t snap back with ease.</div><div> </div><div>The performance is surprisingly good however; the UI on top Android 4.4 seems overdone with large icons which might not appeal to some. Nonetheless, the UI is not heavy on the smartphone and everything works quite well. The display, a 4.7-inch 720p IPS panel, is sharp, offers a good level of brightness and great viewing angles. The camera at the back is not very impressive and can click standard stills and full HD videos.</div><div> </div><div>Overall the Intex Aqua Speed HD is quite worth the money, but there are other smartphones in the market that can offer a better looking design, a sturdier build and better performance as well.</div><div> </div><div><strong>Karbonn Titanium Mach Two</strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Price</span>: Rs. 11,290</div><div> </div><div>Karbonn’s latest offering is a Rs.11,000 smartphone which is one of the few smartphones at this price offering an octa-core processor in a sleek looking body. The Titanium Mach Two is definitely one of the best looking smartphones that the company offers with a unibody design including a glass front and back and metal frame in the middle. The handset will remind you of the iPhone 5/5S thanks to the rounded volume buttons and the speaker grill at the bottom. Surprisingly it feels light in the hand with a weight of just 112gms.</div><div> </div><div>Apart from design, the Titanium Mach Two doesn’t have anything big to offer. It runs on an octa-core processor made by MediaTek with 1GB of RAM which provides ample amount of power for your daily tasks and 8GB of expandable storage. The 5-inch display offers a 720p resolution with punchy colours and good sharpness. The handset runs on Android 4.4 with a custom UI which isn’t what one can say attractive although it runs perfectly smooth. </div><div> </div><div>Other features of the smartphone include dual-SIM capability a 1900mAH battery, a rear 8MP camera and also at the front, a big point of attraction for selfie lovers. But as we know megapixels are not the only essential ingredient for a quality picture, so if you are looking for a quality snapper, then this might be a very good option.</div>
