With the realm of smartphones that exist today, it is essential to create something that not only stands out in terms of price but compelling features too. We would like to believe that our endeavour to be a part of such a realm has been achieved with the launch of the Aqua Amaze today. We hope to sustain this momentum as we continue to aspire for technological excellence."

As of late, the company has been trying to increase its market share in the world's third largest smartphone market, after China and the U.S. To boost its reach, the domestic vendor has launched a couple of low-to-mid range phones, running Google's Android mobile operating system (OS).
