The U.S based smartphone manufacturer, InFocus has been launching many affordable smartphones with decent specifications to survive in the overcrowded Indian smartphone market. The brand has recently launched an entry-level smartphone called as Infocus Bingo 21 in India with 2GB RAM, 5MP selfie camera with flash and 4G-LTE priced at Rs. 5,499. Today, the company has launched a new smartphone in its Bingo series called as Infocus Bingo 50 in India. The device comes with more than decent specifications and is the same smartphone that was earlier spotted on GFXBench with model number Infocus M460.
Commenting on the launch, Sachin Thapar, Country Head, InFocus India said, At InFocus, we look at smartphone not just as a piece of technology, but a ubiquitous device for self-expression as you carry it wherever you go. Today, most of the smartphones in the market focus on the rear camera and ignore the selfie camera experience; whereas, for the young smartphone user, 8 out of 10 photos in their phone gallery are clicked from the front camera. Taking cue from this trend, Bingo 50 comes with 8 MP front as well as rear camera with Auto Focus, for a selfie experience that no other smartphone can offer at this price point. Moreover, with the classy Sandstone finish and 3GB of RAM, Bingo 50 makes a statement right out of the box.
Coming to the specifications part, the Infocus Bingo 50 flaunts a 5-inch (1280×720 pixels) HD IPS display that offers a pixel density of 294ppi and On-Cell technology. Under the hood, it comes powered by MediaTek MT6735 64-bit quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz paired with Mali-T720 GPU and 3GB of RAM for the lag-free and smooth performance of the device. It comes with 16GB of built-in storage and also includes a microSD card slot for further expansion of memory upto 64GB.
It supports dual sim dual and runs on latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. The Bingo 50 is the company’s first smartphone to run on latest Android OS. On the camera front, the device comes equipped with an 8MP autofocus rear camera with LED flash and an 8MP front-facing camera for video chats and crisp selfie images. Connectivity options on the handset include 4G-LTE, GPS/A-GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and microUSB 2.0 port.
The handset comes backed by a 2500mAh battery that the company claims has the energy to last upto an entire day on a single charge. The smartphone comes in Leather Black or Sandstone Grey back panels and is priced at Rs. 7,499. The Infocus Bingo 50 with this impressive specifications will be a good competitor for the likes of Coolpad Note 3 Lite and Intex Cloud Crystal 2.5D that comes with similar specifications and price tag.
A quick recall, Infocus has recently launched a slightly downgraded variant of Bingo 21 called as Infocus Bingo 20 in India. The smartphone is priced at Rs. 5,749 and is available for purchase via leading offline platforms in the country. The Bingo 20 features 4.5-inch FWVGA display, 64-bit Spreadtrum SC9830 quad-core SoC, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, 8MP & 5MP cameras with LED flash, 4G-LTE, 2300mAh battery and runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box.
