For selfies you will get a 5 megapixel front camera. The phones will feature a fingerprint sensor as well on the home key button.
The two smartphones will be available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, and Silver Titanium colour variants.
Given the upgrades that the phone has to offer, it sure is big on specs but will it be really worth spending more than Rs 50,000 on these phones?
