6 incher phablet Swipe MTV Volt 1000 launched for Rs 12K

It is a huge phablet and finally Swipe’s MTV Volt 1000 has arrived in India. The huge phablet seems the continuation of huge smartphones in the Indian market.

The phablet that is certainly among the biggest handsets launched in the market is priced at Rs. 11,999. But there is one disappointing aspect of the phablet and this includes its rather very low display quality. The phablet comes with 480×854 pixel resolution that is on very low side given the huge size of the phablet.

But to be true, this is the only disappointing aspect of the handset and if you can bear with it you will find if very enticing product. As far as its specifications are concerned, it
comes with 1GHz dual-core MTK 6577 processor, 1GB RAM, 4GB of internal storage that is expandable to 32GB with microSD. It has really a high quality camera with 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash. It comes with 1.3-megapixel front camera for video chatting. Besides it is a Dual-SIM handset like most of the phablets being launched in the Indian market and comes with 2850 mAh battery. The handset is powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
