<div><strong>Stellar Virtuoso 495 From Spice</strong><br />Time was when all you would get for Rs 10,000 if you wanted to try Android was a flimsy little underpowered phone. Look at the difference today. For Rs 10,499 you get a phone that is almost a tablet. It has a 4.5- inch screen and essentially can do so many of the things that large PCs handle and make phone calls all at the same time. In the case of the Stellar Virtuoso 495 from Spice, that would be two phone calls, since it’s dual sim. It’s not the first low-cost device from Spice to offer a lot of bang for your buck, but it’s their slimmest. <br /><br />Spice COO, Dilip Modi says it’s time to “stamp out dominance” in 3G smartphones. Why not – I’m sure consumers are all for it. The build of the Virtuoso is not bad and in the bundled leather case, looks quite professional. You get a 1GHz dual core processor, 512 MB RAM, a 1700 mAh battery, and 4GB internal storage expandable to 32GB. It has an 8MP primary camera and 1.3MP secondary. It’s running on Android Ice Cream Sandwich – don’t know about updates to Jelly Bean, though. The Virtuoso competes with a bevy of 5-inch tablet-phones that are launching at what seems like one a week.</div>
