Comio C1 Pro Becomes The Cheapest Smartphone In India To Come With Dual 4G Support

While everyone is focusing on what the Chinese smartphone manufacturers have new in their backpacks, homegrown player Comio has launched its new offering in India dubbed as the Comio C1 Pro which is another mid-range smartphone from the company and is targeted towards the millennials looking for an affordable smartphone with a decent set of specifications.

Comio C1 Pro has been launched in direct competition to the likes of Redmi 5A and the Moto C Plus which have been two of the highest selling smartphones in the segment, however, in what could be termed as a rarity, Comio C1 Pro which is an Indian offering, seems to give its Chinese counterparts a run for their money as it comes two of the rarest features in this category.

The Comio C1 Pro has become the cheapest smartphone in India to come with dual 4G VoLTE support and to double it up, the Indian smartphone maker has also offered the facial recognition feature with the Comio C1 Pro, making it one of the best packaged smartphones at this price range, as far as user experience is concerned. The handset also comes with WPS support which means it can handle applications such as PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and PDFs.

While launching the Comio C1 Pro, Sanjay Kumar Kalirona, CEO of Comio said “We are delighted to announce the launch of our new smartphone COMIO C1 Pro in such a short span. We believe that consumers in this price segment deserve better features and our budget-friendly C1 PRO smartphone provides a potpourri of exciting features like good camera quality, better speed, security features, stylish design and value-added services.”

Other highlights of the Comio C1 Pro include Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box and a 5-inch HD display which is a sort of benchmark in this segment. Another USP of the Comio C1 Pro is a dedicated microSD card slot over and above the dual SIM tray.
