Smart NaMo Saffron Two

Saffron Two comes with a larger 6.5-inch Full HD display offering a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The device is powered by a same 1.5 GHz quad-core MediaTek MTK6589T processor coupled with 2GB RAM. It runs on upgradeable Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean OS. Both Saffron One and Two comes with the similar specs with the only difference being the display. Thus, even in this handset one can find a same 13 MP auto focus rear camera with LED Flash with 1080p Full HD video recording facility and 5 MP front-facing camera. Connectivity options also remain the same with Dual SIM (3G + 3G) with Dual Standby, 3G (HSDPA: 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA 5.76 Mbps), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and aGPS. It features a 32GB internal storage capacity which is expandable up to 64GB. It weighs a bit more at 230 grams and is powered by same 3150mAh Polymer battery seen on Saffron One.

After have a run down on the specs of the two NaMO handset, one can say that these handsets are pretty good. But the Smart Namo doesn't seem to stop here because the company has also teased their upcoming Saffron X handset on its Facebook Fanpage showing that it would come with Android and Linux dual-boot system with Dual LTE support and stunning 4GB RAM along with 128GB internal storage. Thus, looking at the teaser, this will be the first homegrown handset to come with such extreme specs and the image also says that the handset will come in November. However, when it comes to Saffron One and Two, these devices will surely have a tough time battling with devices from Micromax, Karbonn, Xolo, Samsung among others.
