A new smartphone has been launched by Videocon dubbed Z51 Nova. This dual-SIM smartphone is priced at Rs. 5,400, and comes with decent hardware specifications for its price. It comes with a 5-inch FWVGA IPS LCD display, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, microSD card slot, 5MP rear-facing camera, 2MP front-facing camera, and a 2,000 mAh battery.

If Videocon is to make any mark on the smartphone market, it should focus on releasing less devices, but with the right hardware, software, and price tag. Otherwise, it can very well forget the idea of people even remembering the presence of the brand in the market.
