Spice XLife 431q Lite

The Xlife 431q Lite is the latest mobile introduced by Spice, targeted specifically at first time buyers. This device comes as a part of the X Life series of smartphones which feature three other smartphones as well, which boast of easy -to-use and innovative features. With these smartphones, Spice aims to tap in the interest of users who still use feature phones.

The XLife 431q Lite comes with a 4-inch WVGA display screen. It is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and 512MB RAM which aren't the best but should be able to handle basic tasks well for general consumers. It runs the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system. The OS isn't the latest, but for the low power hardware, that is probably a good move as the experience might not be as great otherwise. You can store your data on the 4GB of internal storage space, or move things to a microSD slot as the phone supports up to 32GB of microSD cards.

The dual-SIM device comes with a 3.2MP rear camera with LED flash and a 1.3MP front camera, which you can use for capturing images, taking selfies, and shooting videos. The device runs on a 1750 mAh battery that should be able to last for sufficient duration. Network connectivity options include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HSPA and AGPS. You can also tune in to FM Radio to listen to your favourite radio stations.

This device is priced affordably at Rs. 3,850. Along with the device you also get a bright case along with 2 rear covers and a flip cover, which is a good deal for a phone with such a low price tag. The phone could have done with a faster processor and more memory, but it should still be a good option for those on a budget.
