The Indian smartphone market has changed a lot during the past two years, backed by the emergence of domestic handset makers. Many local players in the Indian handset market have strengthened their visibility, all thanks to the success of affordable Android powered phones.

 

Alongside Micromax, a couple of local vendors recently launched their feature rich smartphones priced under Rs. 7,000. Now, today, the leading domestic smartphone maker Spice has launched its new Android-based handset at Rs. 5,299.

 

The latest smartphone, the Spice Stellar 445, supports multiple regional languages such as English, Hindi, Bangla, Tamil, Telugu and Marathi. The new budget phone will be available from the first week of July across India through major retail stores and Saholic.

"This is the first 10.16 cm smartphone from Spice with a Quad Core processor that enables multitasking and faster speed. Through the multiple Indian languages option in our products we intend to reach out to the masses with the readiness of their choice of language in their mobiles. The idea to empower every Indian through their smartphones has been our engine of growth and we have been working towards it by proliferating data services through our 3G enabled handsets," Mr. T M Ramakrishnan, CEO - Devices, Spice Retail Ltd, said, in a press note.
