Obi Mobiles Officially Unveils 5 New Smartphones: Price, Specs, Features and More

| Updated: Monday, September 1, 2014, 19:01 [IST]

The Indian smartphone market is one of the most happening places to do business in, in recent times. And that has been possible mainly due to the flow of a host of smartphones makers into the native market. And the list keeps getting better every day.

While the smartphone market has seen a lot of action from all the big name manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony and Apple, the India-based handset makers have also enjoyed a lot of popularity. Take the likes of Micromax, for example.

Out of all the Indian handset makers currently plying their trade in the market, Obi is comparatively a newer name in the mix. Sure the company needs more time if it is to reach the standards that are currently maintained by all other top notch handset makers, but releasing smartphones at regular intervals just might be the way out.

Even if you read up regularly on all the things that make up the current smartphone business in India, there's a very less chance that you will come across stuff tagged with Obi Mobiles. But going deeper into the mix, you will see that there are a lot of handsets from the company to choose from.

Recently the company came out with as many as five new handsets for users to choose from. Here's a detailed look at all of them with all their specs.
