Though Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex haven't been a phenomena in the market, they seem to have set a trend which we can look forward to in the near future. Intex has gained the title of being the first Indian manufacturer to launch a smartphone with curved display by introducing the aptly named Intex Aqua Curve.
Apart from the curve factor, Aqua Curve doesn't boast of any feature we haven't heard about at this price point. This Dual SIM smartphone has a 5 inch screen with qHD resolution which manages to give a 220 ppi pixel density, which sounds paltry compared to the 294 ppi density produced by 720p screens which are available in many-a-phones at this price point.
