 I t Seems that regional smartphone makers are muscling through the gadget market dominated by big companies. The Indian smartphone manufacturer Colors is one among them. After the XFactor Quad, Colors has come up with another high-end smartphone - the XFactor Bold 2.

XFactor Bold 2 isn’t just an upgrade of it’s predecessor the XFactor Bold. This new smartphone can be termed as a complete revamp in terms of processing power and battery backup. XFactor Bold 2 houses a powerful MT6589 Quad-Core Processor and 1 GB RAM system memory. This makes the smartphone’s computing ability much faster as users can easily play power hungry video games and run applications without a hitch. The XFactor Bold 2 runs on Google’s Jelly Bean 4.1, one of the critically acclaimed mobile operating system till date. The Li-Ion 3000 mAH battery provides amazing battery backup which can last up to 340 hours of standby.

Besides these, XFactor Bold 2’s other features are also very impressive. The 5.3 inch qHD display makes Bold 2 the first “Phablet” of Colors Mobile. The display’s 540 X 960 resolution and 16.7M colors makes photos and videos crisp and sharp. The capacitive display is very smooth in terms of touch response. It comes with a 12 mega-pixel rear camera. Users can take photos in the maximum resolution of 4000 X 3000 pixels which is only available in some high-end models of big smartphone makers. Bold 2 also has a 2MP front facing camera for video chat. There is no need to worry about storage capacity of the phone as it comes with a 4 GB internal memory. There is also a micro SD card slot which can be used to expand the storage up to 32 GB. The Touch-Bar form factor is very attractive as it raises the overall build quality.

Colors has come up with a very clever idea by making Xfactor Bold 2 a dual-sim smartphone. With a dual-sim standby (and a micro-sim option), users can use two different mobile networks simultaneously. Bold 2 is also among the very few in high-end segment which allow users to use multiple network in a single handset. Wireless protocols like Wi-Fi and 3G makes the smartphone’s internet connectivity blazing fast. Bold 2 has different sensors like Proximity , G-sensor and Light sensor which may come handy in various occasions. It also houses a Bluetooth for data transfer and a FM for tuning into different local radio stations as well as well. The Yamaha Sound Engine of Bold 2 makes the overall sound performance very delightful with various options for music and video. Teletalk Pvt Ltd, the authorised distributor of Colors Mobiles in Nepal is offering this ‘Bold and Beautiful’ smartphone at the best buy price of Rs 20,000.
