After introducing the Aqua Lions 2 smartphone in India last week, domestic handset manufacturer Intex Technologies on Friday expanded its Aqua series of smartphones portfolio with the launch of an entry-level smartphone, called the “Intex Aqua A4+” in the Indian tech market.

On the software (OS) front, the Intex Aqua A4+ runs on Google’s Android 7.0 Nougat operating system out-of-the-box.
In terms of photography, the Intex Aqua A4+ features a 5-megapixel autofocus rear-facing camera with an LED flash module.

Sensors on the smartphone include an Accelerometer, Ambient Light sensor and Proximity sensor.
Apart from these specifications, the device also comes with some pre-loaded apps like Xender (a file transfer application), Gaana (popular music streaming app) and a video streaming service called “Amazon Prime Video”, which allow users to enjoy free unlimited access to all their favourite songs and stream and download popular movies and TV Shows.
