Karbonn launches a new battery centric smartphone in India. The USP for the Karbonn Titanium Jumbo is its massive 4000 mAh Li-ion battery with fast charging capability out of the box. At the price tag of INR 6490, this is the first smartphone to feature a massive battery (at INR 8000, one can go for the Xiaomi Redmi 4).
With respect to the design and build quality, the device offers a semi-metal unibody build quality with a premium design language. The device will be available in multiple colours including Gold, Silver and Black paint job. Here are the complete tech specifications for the Karbonn Titanium Jumbo.
The Karbonn Titanium Jumbo features a 5.0-inch IPS LCD 720p display with 2.5D curved tempered glass on the top. Under the hood, the device houses an entry level MTK Quad-core SoC paired with 2 GB LPDDR3 RAM and 16 GB onboard flash storage wit ha dedicated micro SD card slot (up to 64 GB).
With respect to the connectivity, the device offers dual SIM card slots with 4G LTE and VoLte capability on either of the slots. The device also offers latest Bluetooth version 4.1 and WiFi with WiFi Hotspot as well. Moving on to the camera compartment, the device offers a 13 MP rear-facing camera with 1080p video recording capability and an 8 MP front-facing selfie camera with 720p video recording capability.
However, the device misses out on an important feature that is the fingerprint scanner. So, if you are thinking about a smartphone with all the features, then this device might disappoint you a bit. However, in terms of operating system, the device runs on Android Nougat 7.0 with custom UI on the top. However, there is no information regarding the future Android updates and the device is not intended to receive any update at all.
One can also go with the Airtel‘s new INR 169 monthly package, which offers up to 0.5 GB of 4G data per day with free local and STD calls. The Karbonn Titanium Jumbo will be available across India via offline retail stores.
