Celkon has unveiled a new entry-level Android smartphone, Millennia 2GB Xpress, to boost its portfolio in the Indian market. As the name suggests, it’s not difficult to guess that the handset comes with a 2GB of RAM for lag-free performance.

Commenting on the launch, Chairman and Managing Director of Celkon Mobiles – Y Guru said,“Celkon Millennia 2GB Xpress offers a mixture of Smart Commands, Smart Assistant and Smart Power Saving Mode along with 2GB of RAM and 16GB ROM.”

In terms of specs, the Celkon Millennia 2GB Xpress houses an 11.43cm (4.5-inch) IPS display with a screen resolution of 280 x 800 pixels. Powered by an 1.2GHz Quad Core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM, the 2GB Xpress offers 16GB of inbuilt storage space, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card slot.

The Millennia 2GB Xpress sports a 5MP Rear Camera with flash support and a 1.3MP VGA Front Camera for the video-calling option.

The Celkon Millennia runs on Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system (upgradable to Lollipop) out-of-the-box. The handset is fueled by a 1,500mAh Li-Ion removable battery.

Connectivity-wise, the dual-SIM Millennia 2GB Xpress comes with 3G support, Wi-Fi, Hotspot, Bluetooth, GPS, Micro USB and a 3.5mm Audio Jack.

Celkon Win 400 is the least expensive Windows Phone 8.1 device in India at Rs 4999

The Celkon Win 400 has dethroned the Microsoft Lumia 530 as the cheapest WP8.1 smartphone as this latest launch in India comes bearing a price tag of just Rs 4999. The Nokia-branded phone has been available for around Rs 5500, making it just Rs 500 more than the former.

Well, the difference in the retail tags is minimum and both phones offer similar features. The Celkon Win 400 is of course an entry-level release and for the amount being asked, you do get some good hardware. The device is powered by a 1.2GHz quad core Snapdragon 200 SOC and has 512MB of RAM.

Where memory is concerned, there’s 4GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot. But unlike the Nokia phone which accepts up to 128GB cards, this one only supports 32GB. A 4-inch WVGA display occupies the front along with a 1.3MP snapper. And the camera on the rear is rated at 5MP and it has an LED flash which is a nice addition.

The Celkon phone also accepts dual SIM slots and offers 3G connectivity. Windows Phone 8.1 runs the show, but there’s no confirmation on whether it comes with the latest enhancements which Lumia phones currently enjoy. Lastly, the battery capacity is 1500mAh and it can deliver a mere 5 hours of talk time or up to 200 hours of standby.

Key Celkon Win 400 specs:

- Windows Phone 8.1
- 1.2GHz quad core Snapdragon 200 SOC
- 4-inch 800 x 480 pixel LCD panel
- 512 mb ram, 4GB storage, 32GB expandable
- Dual SIM slots, HSPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS
- 1.3MP front camera, 5MP rear snapper
- 1500mAh battery

The Celkon Win 400 is yet to get a formal launch from the company in India, but it can be purchase through Snapdeal in black.
