iBerry jumps on the octa-core bandwagon with the Auxus Nuclea N2

The Auxus Nuclea N2 smartphone has launched in India by technology manufacturer, iBerry. The phone is an Octa-Core one and is priced at an introductory offer of Rs 19,990.

The smartphone is powered by a MediaTek True Octa-Core MT6592 chipset that clocks in at 1.7GHz. The Auxus Nuclea 2 also features a 2GB RAM and comes with a 5.7-inch Full HD Active Matrix Display and OGS technology.

The Nuclea 2 will come along with 16GB of inbuilt storage that can further be expanded to 64GB using a microSD card. The smartphone also supports dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) function but requires one micro-SIM card and one of a regular size.

The phone currently runs Android version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean but iBerry claims that it will be updating the device to run Android version 4.4 KitKat by the end of the first quarter, this year. The upgrade, says iBerry, will arrive via an Over-the-Air (OTA) update.

As far as the imaging bit for the iBerry Auxus Nuclea N2 goes, the smartphone will sport a 13-megapixel rear snapper. It will come along with a BSI sensor and auto-focus capabilities. The company has not revealed details about the front camera on the Nuclea N2 though. The connectivity part of the phone sees NFC, along with the usual suspects like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, EDGE, GPRS, GPS/AGPS and 3G. The whole show is powered by a 3,500mAh Li-on battery that promises a talk time of more than 12 hours.

The phone will be priced at Rs 19,990 for only a limited period of 10 days, starting January 18, 2013. The offer can be redeemed from iBerry’s official website and authorised retailers across the country. The regular price of Rs 23,990 will come into effect post the 10 day period. The N2 will compete directly with the Gionee Elife E7 Mini and Intex Aqua Octa , both of which retail around the same price point.
