Though we have no shortage of smartphones, but we always look for that one smart piece which not just boasts of low range but high-end features as well.
If you too have been on a similar hunt - it might end soon with Reliance's new flagship. The company has unveiled its novel smartphone - under its affordable LYF series which has been named LYF Water 5. The device is said to have launched on May 5. It offers premium-grade specifications at an inexpensive price point. The LYF Water 5 is available at a price of Rs. 11,699 and in India it would be exclusively available on Amazon.
So what's new with LYF Water 5?
The all new Reliance LYF Water 5 shares many similarities with its current lineup of smartphones in the LYF series. The new device is said to be sporting dual-SIM support, along with VoLTE and 4G LTE compatibility, which is said to expand 4G connectivity all over the country. It has been reported that Reliance is thinking of boosting 4G connectivity with its Jio 4G mobile broadband service sometime in this year.
It is notable that with release of LYF Water 5 smartphone, Reliance now has six smartphones in its product range on its authorized website which includes Wind 6, Earth 1, Water 1, Water 2 as well as Flame 1. The company's official website had listed Flame 2, Wind 4 and Water 7; however, till now there are no details about the availability of the same.
Other Specifications
Reliance LYF Water 5 is for now the most reasonable of Water-series smartphones, and it even comes with a slightly dissimilar look. As far as the specifications are concerned, LYF Water 5 will sport a 5.5-inch HD display backed by a Dragontrail glass cover.
It even sports a 13MP primary camera supported by LED flash along with a 5MP front-snapper. The device is backed by 1.2GHz 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor with 2GB RAM and 16GB built-in storage but it won't have the microSD card support. Talking about the battery, the device will have a 2,920mAh battery, which as per reports will offer up to 15 hours of talktime.
Given the impressive specifications and low price tag LYF Water 5 has, it certainly gets to compete alongside some of industry's well-liked choices like Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, LeEco Le 1s, Lenovo Vibe K4 Note and Le 1s Eco and also the recently-released Coolpad Note 3 Plus.
You can buy the LYF smartphones from Reliance's official website as well as other channels. The Counterpoint Research has ranked Reliance as India's fifth-largest smartphone company in initial section.
As far as the features are concerned, Reliance LYF Water 5 surely seems attractive and given the low price it has, it won't be surprising if it captures the market soon. But for now, it would be better to wait for more authentic reports to surface so that we can judge whether or not Reliance LYF Water 5 is indeed the smartphone we all had been waiting for.
