Karbonn lunches OPIUM range, N7 and N9

Homegrown smartphone manufacturer Karbonn has launched two entry-level smartphones under its new Opium range, dubbed the N7 and N9. Both devices are available exclusively through e-commerce website HomeShop18, and are priced at Rs 5,999 and Rs 8,999 respectively.


The Opium N7 features a 4-inch WVGA (480x800 pixels) display, shielding a 1.2GHz quad-core display and 512MB of RAM. Internal storage memory stands at 4GB while the device also supports microSD cards up to 32GB. A 5MP camera along with a flash module are housed at the rear of the N7, while there's also a front-facing camera of unspecified resolution. All that hardware is powered by a 1,600mAh battery, while connectivity options include dual SIMs, 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.





The Opium N9 features a 5-inch HD (720x1,280 pixels) display and is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor. Also under the hood is 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage memory, which is expandable to a maximum of 32GB via a microSD card. An 8MP camera with flash module adorn the rear of the Opium N9, while there's also a 2MP front-facing shooter. Connectivity options include dual SIMs, 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, while a 2,000mAh battery powers the device.

Both smartphones under Karbonn's Opium range of devices run on Google's Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, which is rather outdated considering the launch of Android L is just around the corner. Despite their compelling specifications, there are already competing devices running on Android 4.4 KitKat that can be had at a similar cost.
