In Depth Review: Intex Aqua 4X, an uber affordable 3G Android phone

Intex released an ultra affordable Android device called the Aqua 4X we had to tone down our expectation and test this device as candidly as possible. The 4X is retailing for Rs.2999 in Ebay and runs on the slightly dated Android 4.3 Jellybean. The test device we received came dressed in a dark grey and black color scheme. Lets see how the Intex Aqua 4X fares.

Build Quality and Design

The device has an extremely handy formfactor and it was pleasant to hold the Aqua 4x after fiddling with several 5inch screened devices. The front facade is dominated by the 4 inch display unit that blends into the Bezel in HTC style. The earphone and the speaker are enclosed in a large grill. The rear is given a dash of metallic finish and the camera lens is decorated with a thin ring that gives a pronounced effect. Intex logo is subtle and the device is neat without any loud and flashy bits.

Display and Audio

The 4 inch display is set at an resolution of 480×800 pixels. The display lacks rich colors and feels bland. Viewing angles are not that great and their are angles at which the display just goes blank. Screen gets scratched really fast and screen guard is a must. The bottomline is if we weigh the features against the price than the shortcomings can be overlooked.

Audio from the speakers is loud yet it maintains the clarity and unlike some other budget phone the sound doesn’t get shrill. The best part is that the sound is crisp and clear even when the phone is kept with the speaker facing downwards thanks to the curvature on the back panel.
