Smartron is back and has launched a new phone called the srt.phone, which is inspired by the company’s prime investor Sachin Tendulkar. The srt.phone is available in two variants with prices starting at Rs. 12,999. The phone will be available exclusively via Flipkart from today itself in only one colour variant called Titanium grey. Smartron has also announced some launch offers such as upto Rs. 1,500 discount on exchange of an old phone and early customers will also get Sachin Tendulkar-design back covers worth Rs. 599 for free. Further, users will get free extended warranty worth Rs. 1,400 and additional 5 percent cashback for Axis Bank Buzz credit card holders.

The smartphone offers a simple design with Smartron's signature orange accents and a plastic build. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 652 SoC, which was last seen on the Coolpad Cool 1 in the same price category. There is 4GB of RAM available on the phone and the device is available in 32GB and 64GB storage variants. While the phone does not support microSD cards, the company will provide unlimited cloud storage with each smartphone via its t.cloud storage service.

On the camera front, the device has a 13MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and PDAF, which is aided by a dual-LED flash. There is a 5MP camera at the front, which uses a wide-angle lens. The phone also comes with a fingerprint scanner, which resides under the rear camera. Further, the back panel is removable and hides two SIM card slots, which support 4G and VoLTE. There is a 3000mAh non-removable battery on the phone and offers support for Quick Charge 2.0. Smartron claims that the phone does not heat up while charging like other budget devices.

Smartron also claims that the new srt.phone has the "best drop test results in the category" and has "best in class antennas for ensuring lowest call drop rates." The company also assured that it will provide timely Android security updates and the device will be supported for at least 2-3 major Android updates.
