Indian manufacturer Spice is launching two Android handsets that are Ice Cream Sandwich ready or upgradeable to ICS – the Spice Stellar Horizon Mi-500 and the Stellar Horizon Craze Mi-355.
Both Android phones are dual SIM card phones and will be available by the end of the month.
Spice Stellar Horizon Mi-500 is the higher end phone among the two and will come ready with Ice Cream Sandwich. With its 5 inch touch screen, the Horizon Mi-500 is a large phone. Under the hood, you’ll find a 1 Ghz Snapdragon processor with 512 MB RAM and 4GB of ROM memory which is expandable to 32 GB.
The Horizon Mi-500 will have the usual smartphone functions such as Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi as well as a 5 megapixel rear camera and a front camera. This ICS Android smartphone can be yours for Rs 11,999 (USD 215$).
The other phone is the Spice Stellar Craze MI-355 which comes loaded with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Yes you are reading this correctly, it comes loaded with Android 2.3. The good news is that it is upgradable to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The Screen on the Spice Stellar Craze is 3.5 inch and is powered by an 800 Mhz processor. The camera on the Craze is a 5 megapixel rear camera with a front 0.3 megapixel camera. All this for the very affordable price of Rs 6,499 (USD 115$).
For dual SIM card phones running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Spice is delivering Android phones at a very affordable price. If I had a chance to order any of those phones I would surely do, too bad they dont have service here in America. It’s so hard to find an affordable dual-SIM card phone! Let alone, a dual-SIM card phone!
