Reaffirming our commitment to quality and pioneering technologies, the newly launched Aqua Wonder quad core smartphone is a step towards empowering consumers in semi-urban towns and cities with cutting edge technology at an affordable price."

Apart from the launch of Aqua Wonder Quadcore, two more smartphones - Aqua Glow and Aqua Active have appeared on official Intex website. As of now, there is no detail about the pricing and availability of the two handsets that have surfaced online.

Specwise, both Aqua Glow and Aqua Active seem to be Gingerbread smartphones with entry level specifications including single core processor and more.
