Olive Fluid V-W1 is a new low cost android phone launched by olive telecom priced at Rs. 10,990, the Olive Fluid is an Android 2.1 handset, something unexpected after Olive brought the first android Gingerbread phone in the Indian market, with the Olive Smart V-S300.
Now lets take a look at the specifications, we see why the software is not updated, and begin to wonder just what Olive was thinking by bringing such an offering into the bustling low-cost Android market, even at a sub-Rs. 10K price. Nothing looks getting good out of it.
With a has a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen and a 320x480 resolution, which is on the lower side of pixel density, but not too bad. It has a 468MHz processor however, with just 256MB of RAM and ROM. Relevantly (for a phone running Android Eclair), the Olive Fluid has just 256MB built-in storage, though it is expandable to 32GB via microSD.
Still it’s not bad as redeems itself slightly by offering 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and A-GPS connectivity. It carries a 3MP camera onboard, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack, digital compass, gravity sensor, and proximity sensor. Its 1,300 mAh battery will give you just a 4 hours of talktime and 192 hours of stand by time.
By giving a free subscription to zenga TV for six months it’s the best way to offset the out-of-date hardware.
