Apart from the smartphone and its battery, Intex has also provided a screen guard, a smartphone case, a microUSB cable for charging and file transfers, and earphones. This is a pretty decent packaging for a device in this price range, but the quality of the accessories in nothing great.

Design and Build Quality

The Intex Aqua Trend has some solid looks when you check out the device from the front. However, the device feels quite plasticky when you hold it in your hands, thanks to its removable back cover. While you do get used to it in couple of hours, the patterned plastic back cover does not really feel rich.

Screen Quality

The smartphone is equipped with a 5-inch IPS LCD display that has a resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels. Even though the device display lacks in terms of contrast and colours, it makes up for it in the brightness department. The screen, honestly, is just average. I have been using the Huawei Honor 4X as my secondary device since the past couple of days, and the Aqua Trend offers much brighter display, which helps a lot in terms of sunlight legibility.

Camera

Aqua Trend sports a 13 Megapixel rear end camera with LED flash and a 5 Megapixel front-facing camera. The device manages to take decent pictures from its camera on the rear end. However, do not bother zooming in the picture, the camera lacks clarity. The 5 Megapixel front facing camera is definitely a surprise when you compare it with what other handsets in the similar range have to offer. If you’re a selfie person and want to go a device in this go for Intex Aqua Trend.

Battery:
While it is equipped with 3000mAh battery, the battery life is not that good. With exhaustive usage on (3G connection) of apps like Twitter, Facebook (which is battery hogger) the battery lasted for 10-10:30 hours and with media usage even less. For a device with 3000mAh battery, you expect the device to last at least for 12 hours with decent apps & calls usage. Aqua Trent was a downer in this respect.
