Kobian, a firm best known for manufacturing computer peripherals, has launched a 6-inch phablet under its Mercury brand. Called the Mercury Glitz, it has been priced at Rs. 7,799 and will go on sale from July 15.
The Mercury Glitz is a dual-SIM smartphone that runs the now-dated Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box, but Kobian promises an upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat soon. It features a 6-inch IPS display with a qHD (540x960 pixel) resolution. The Mercury Glitz smartphone is powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core MediaTek MT8312 processor coupled with 1GB of RAM.
The smartphone sports a 5-megapixel rear camera with an LED flash and also includes a 0.3-megapixel (VGA) front-facing camera. The Mercury Glitz comes with 8GB of inbuilt storage that can be expanded via microSD card (up to 32GB).
Mercury Glitz is priced at Rs 7, 799 and will be available in India from July 15, 2014. It’s backed with a one-year repair/replacement warranty.

Competition
To compare, Kobian Mercury Glitz could be the larget phone in this price range but specs-wise it will fail to stack up against the ones which are running ths show in the Indian market. Most of the smartphone that are being offering in the market at this particular price-point is powered by a quad core SoCs and run Android KitKat OS. However, on the advantage of the Kobian Mercury Glitz, it has a greater internal memory and a larger display. Thus, depending on the need on the buyers at large, the phone's fate in the Indian market will be soon justified.
