The anticipating newcomer Obi has finally entered the Indian smartphone market with its Octopus S520 via snapdeal for Rs. 11,990. Every new brand comes via an e-commerce site. There is a need to innovate. Obi Mobiles is headed by former Apple CEO John Scully.

It sports a 5-inch HD IPS display and the company claims that the thickest part of the device is 8.4mm. As said earlier, it is powered by a 1.7GHz octa-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM and following the ongoing trend in India, you will find the phone using the Android 4.4 KitKat OS. Moreover, the phone comes with an all-aluminium back panel. The Dual SIM (3G+3G) smartphone comes with support for 3G; 8GB onboard storage can be expanded further up to 32GB. Imaging aspect is taken care by an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and USB 2.0.
