They may not be absolute spec-busters, but Karbonn’s newest smartphones pack quite the punch and sleek designs for their price range.
Before trying its luck with zany Android/Windows Phone dual-booting handhelds, Karbonn is just about ready to roll out a trio of more conventional gadgets running a single OS: Android 4.4 KitKat.
The costliest fellow, dubbed Titanium Octane Plus, comes with a “true” octa-core MediaTek MT6592 processor clocked at 1.7 GHz in tow, and is evaluated at the equivalent of $295 in India: Rs. 17,990. While not exactly a Samsung Galaxy S5 “killer”, the Octane Plus offers a comfortably large 5-inch display with Full HD resolution, 2 GB RAM, a 16 MP rear-facing snapper and, get this, an 8 MP front cam.
So what exactly is so wrong with the giant that Karbonn priced it at less than half of S5’s value? The meager 2,000 mAh battery is one possible answer, and by far the most prominent flaw of the Octane Plus. The ginormous bezels don’t help its cause either, though on the bright side the phone measures a slender 7.6 mm in depth.
Set to go on sale in April for $15 less (Rs. 16,990), the Titanium Hexa is the world’s first ever device to use MediaTek’s MT6591 hexa-core 1.5 GHz SoC. All six cores can chug along simultaneously, and paired with 2 GB RAM, they should deliver decent overall performance.
Probably not on par with the Octane Plus, but close enough. Like its zippier cousin, the Hexa’s Achilles’ heel is autonomy, as a second-rate 2,050 mAh juicer is fitted under the hood to withstand the pressures of an even larger Full HD 5.5-inch panel.
Other features include a 13 MP main camera, 5 MP secondary shooter (sorry, selfie addicts), 16 GB built-in storage, microSD card slot and dual SIM support.
Finally, the $240 (Rs. 14,490) Karbonn Titanium Octane is essentially a stripped-down version of the Octane Plus, albeit all in all it’s not half bad itself. Powered by the same 8-core MT6592 chip, it ditches 1 GB RAM, lowers the resolution ante to 720p, and settles for 13 MP/5 MP dual cameras.

Forget Windows Phone, Karbonn, and keep doing what you’re doing in the Android arena. Your bang for buck factor is nearly unrivaled.
