Apart from being the most affordable octa-core smartphone, Titanium Octane has a premium build quality and design as well... Almost as good as Nokia's Lumia series phones.
Yesterday, we saw Karbonn Mobiles announcing three new smartphones based on MediaTek SoCs. The most affordable out of the lot is the Karbonn Titanium Octane which runs on an octa-core MediaTek MT6592 processor clocked at 1.7 GHz with a price tag of Rs.14,490; which makes it the most affordable smartphone in the country running on an octa-core processor.
The smartphone has a good design and doesn’t look like a mid-budget smartphone. The display is sharp and offers decent contrast and viewing angles despite having a 720p resolution on a 5 inch dimension. The touch response is fluid and we didn’t notice any lag while using it. The unit that we tried was running on Android 4.2.2 but Karbonn has assured that the retail units will have 4.4.2 KitKat.

The back has a nice soft plastic finish and the camera module brings a tiny hump to the handset. Overall Karbonn has improved a lot when it comes to designing the phones and the simple looking design approach makes the Titanium Octane look great.
