New Delhi: Delhi-based consumer electronics firm Intex has launched its first touch-and-type smartphone, the Aqua Qwerty, at Rs. 4,990.
It is a 3G smartphone that comes with a keyboard, quite similar to the expensive BlackBerry handsets, and also has touch-sensitive screen above the keypad, providing dual functionality options for users.
A 3.5-inch HVGA (320x480 pixels) display, and a physical QWERTY keypad, are the key features on the front. It is a dual-SIM device (GSM+GSM) and supports regular SIM size.
The device is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor alongside 512MB of RAM. It runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box.

Connectivity options include 3G, GPRS/ EDGE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Micro-USB. The device gets its juice from a 1500mAh battery.
