Karbonn Sparkle V Android One handset hits the UK
Karbonn has introduced the first Android One handset to the UK, launching the Sparkle V through online seller Amazon.
Despite Google’s Android One programme being designed to bring impressive smartphone offerings to emerging markets at affordable price tags, the Karbonn Sparkle V Android One handset is now available in the fully developed UK.
“
“It really is an impressive smartphone and offers consumers something very different in terms of price, but retains the highest quality in its design and form.”
Karbonn Sparkle V Features
As you would expect from an Android One handset, the Sparkle V runs Google’s mobile OS. Powered by Android 4.4 KitKat direct from the box, the device has been tipped to receive a Lollipop-flavoured update by the start of January.
Software aside, the Sparkle V features a familiar array of mid-range specs.
Pairing a 4.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, the Sparkle V adds a 5-megapixel rear-mounted camera and 1GB of RAM.
While just 4GB of internal storage is available, the handset can be expanded up to 32GB via microSD.
Although the Sparkle features a less than lustrous finish, the handset is available in white, red and blue colour schemes.
Karbonn Sparkle V Release Date and Price
The Karbon Sparkle V is available to buy in the UK right now. Exclusively available through Amazon until the end of the year, the handset will set wannabe owners back just £129.99.
For those looking to spend even less on their next handset, listen up. To celebrate tomorrow’s Black Friday events, the Android One device will be offered for just £99 for 24 hours.
