When Oregon-based InFocus announced its first smartphone in India, people wondered what a company with a formidable and established presence in projectors and large-format displays was doing in the super-competitive smartphone market. The first product, the InFocus M2 (Review | Pictures), offered an impressive specification list at just Rs. 4,999 and garnered serious attention. InFocus also announced that its phones were being made by Foxconn, the same company that manufactures the iPhone for Apple.
The InFocus M530 takes on the Xiaomi Mi 4i, Xolo Black and many others in what has grown to be India's most competitive price category, the sub-Rs. 15,000 bracket. The device offers some interesting features for the price, including good rear and front cameras, and performance levels that are far above those expected of phones in this segment. However, average looks and pathetic battery life bring the phone down a notch, making it too much of a mixed bag to compete against more rounded competitors.
