Intex Aqua N7

The Intex Aqua N7 is an unappealing smartphone with very low-end specs but makes up for the poor experience with an extremely affordable price tag.

The Aqua N7 features a 4-inch IPS LCD display. The display has a resolution of 800x480 pixels, which makes for a sharp visual experience thanks to the small screen size. The 4-inch screen is also great for those that don't like large smartphones and will enable easy one-hand usage. Being an IPS unit, the display should also offer nice viewing angles and accurate colours.

The Aqua N7 comes with an 8-megapixel rear camera, which is impressive given the low price tag. The camera can also record videos. On the front, there is a 2-megapixel camera for capturing selfies and talking to others via video calls. The front camera also supports video recording like the front-facing camera. Photos and videos can be stored on the 4GB of internal storage, or on a microSD card of up to 32GB if a user needs it. Running Android 4.4 KitKat, the Aqua N7 can also connect to cloud services for further expansion of storage space.

The device is powered by a Spreadtrum processor with four cores clocked at 1.2GHz. Spreadtrum processors are not very efficient at performance, so the user experience might not be that great on the Aqua N7. It doesn't help that there is only 512MB of RAM on the phone, making it a bad option for anyone hoping for fast software on a budget.

Connectivity options on the Aqua N7 include the standard set of protocols, including Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and a microUSB port. Users that are always connected might need to be careful with usage, however, as the phone has a rather small 1,400 mAh battery that might not make it to the end of a day on a single charge.
