HSL Mobile has recently launched a ultra-low cost smartphone called as HSL Y501 Plus in India. The smartphone is priced at Rs. 3,999 and is available for purchase online exclusively via Snapdeal.

Talking about the specifications, the HSL Y501 Plus flaunts a 5-inch (854×480 pixels) FWVGA IPS display offering a pixel density of 196ppi. Under the hood, it packs MediaTek quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz paired with Mali 400 GPU and 1GB of RAM. The device supports dual sim dual standby and runs on older Android 4.4.3 KitKat out of the box, and there is no information when it will receive the Lollipop update.

On the photographic section, the smartphone features a 5MP autofocus rear camera with LED flash and a 2MP front-facing camera for video chats and selfie images. It comes with basic connectivity options like 2G/3G HSPA+, GPS/A-GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and microUSB 2.0 port. The smartphone has 8GB internal storage out of which only 6GB is available for the user and also includes a microSD card slot for further expansion upto 32GB. The smartphone lacks 4G-LTE support which we even cannot expect at that price range.

The handset packs a 2000mAh battery that the company claims can offer upto 10 hours of talk time and upto 150 hours of standby time. The smartphone also supports 21 Indian languages and also comes bundled with a flip cover free of cost. The dimensions of the device measure 145.5 x 73 x 9 mm weighs around 143 grams and comes in Black and White color options. The HSL Y501 Plus will be a good competitor for the likes of recently launched Karbonn K9 Smart and Intex Cloud Champ that are available at a similar price tag in the market.
