Back in 2011, Samsung Galaxy Note was the only option for anyone who wanted a good phablet. Now, companies like Micromax, Lava, Karbonn and many others have begun offering solutions to absorb a huge demand for such a product.

In January 2013, Micromax came up with its phablet offering - A116 Canvas HD and sizzled the tech space in the country. Following it, several companies have started coming up with their own phablets that are also equipped with similar high-end specs in order to cope up with the competition.

One of the budget tech manufacturers in India, Spice with a reasonable number of smartphones and tablets has now launched a slew of Android devices in the country.

The company has forayed into the phablet market with the launch of Stellar Pinnacle a couple of months back. Now, Spice has launched the sequel to the phablet at Rs 14,990. The latest device - Stellar Pinnacle Pro Mi-535 houses a quad core processor, thereby falling in sync with the likes of the other budget tech manufacturers.

Specwise, Stellar Pinnacle Pro houses a 5.3 inch qHD IPS capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 960 x 540 pxiels, 1.2GHz quad core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, micro SD card slot supporting up to 32GB additional storage, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and a 2,550 mAh battery.

Further, Stellar Pinnacle Pro Mi-535 is packed with software features including Pop-up play, Flip to Mute, Intelligent Answer, Direct Call, Gesture Screen Lock, Hi Connect, Boot Acceleration and Power Saving Mode similar to Stellar Pinnacle Mi-530.

Almost on each passing day, the budget phablet market is witnessing the launch of a Jelly Bean quad core device. Hence, by launching Stellar Pinnacle Pro Mi-535, Spice has also jumped into the battle where other India based vendors are already fighting hard.
