Indian handset maker Karbonn has quietly launched a new entry-level budget smartphone in the country. This device is called Karbonn X21. It was spotted on Google Play Console before its release in March. Let’s take a look at what this phone offers.

Karbonn X21 Specifications and Features

The newly released Karbonn X21 features a plastic build with a glossy rear panel. The phone measures 147.5 x 71.8 x 9.35mm in dimensions and weighs 160g. It comes in two colors, namely Aqua Green and Midnight Blue.

On the front, the device flaunts a 5.45-inch LCD panel with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels (HD+) and 295 PPI. A 5MP selfie camera and an LED flash sit on the forehead above this screen. Whereas, the back of the phone houses an 8MP primary camera accompanied by an LED flash.

Further, the handset is powered by a UNISOC SC9863 chipset coupled with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage.  If required, the storage can be expanded up to 128GB via a MicroSD card slot. Being a budget smartphone, the device also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

On the connectivity front, the handset supports dual-SIM, 4G, single-band WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.2. Last but not least, it runs Android 10 Go Edition is backed by a 3,000mAh battery that charges via a MicroUSB port.

Karbonn was one of the popular Indian phone brands before the Chinese players entered the country. The company is still in business and sells a few handset models. Now, according to Geekbench and Google Play Console, it may soon launch an entry-level smartphone called Karbonn X21.

According to Geekbench, the upcoming Karbonn X21 will be powered by UNISOC SC9863A SoC with PowerVR GE8322 GPU. This chipset manages to score around 183 points and 483 points in single-core and multi-core tests respectively.

On the software front, it is listed to run Android 10. Since the device will have 2GB RAM, we expect the operating system to be Android 10 Go Edition because it is now mandatory for OEMs to ship smartphones with 2GB or less RAM with Android Go Edition.

Further, the Google Play Console listing reveals the phone to flaunt an HD+ (720 x 1440 pixels) display with 320 DPI. This screen should be an LCD panel, given the other features of the handset.

That said, going by the device’s render (pictured above), it may look like older Samsung Galaxy S flagship smartphones. But most importantly, it will not feature any kind of notch or punch-hole and will house an LED flash on the front.

Lastly, it is not known when Karbonn X21 will be officially announced. But it should go official very soon.
