Flipkart is teasing the launch of a new smartphone, which will be unveiled tomorrow. The e-commerce platform seems to have conducted a survery, as the upcoming smartphone's campaign displays, “What are you planning to MAX OUT in your new smartphone?”. As per the the survey, users have opted for the “MaxYourCamera” option with 30 percent votes, which is followed by the "MaxYourLooks" with 27 percent. The survery results could be led to belive that the new device might be a camera-centric smartphone with a focus on looks and design.
There is no information on which smartphone it will be. However, it is speculated that it could a smartphone under its private label Billion. It could be a refreshed variant of the recently lauched Billion Capture+ smartphone, whose specifications, the online retailer said, are based on millions of reviews posted on its e-commerce platform. A previous report tipped that Smartron might be launching a Flipkart exclusive device priced around Rs 10,000 with a 5000mAh battery called the t.phone P. We reached out to both Flipkart and Smartron, however, both said that its neither a new Billion phone nor the t.phone P.
