Docoss,
little-known manufacturer of the Docoss X1 smartphone that seems to
have caught attention of consumers in India this week, has posted images
and a hands-on video of its Rs. 888 smartphone in a bid to assure
prospective customers the phone is 'real'. After Ringing Bells and
mPhone, the scepticism around smartphone that sounds too good to be true
is understandable, and Docoss is trying its best to dispel the
duplicitous image.

To
recall, the incredible price alongside the malfunctioning booking
process and obscure origins of the company raised doubts about whether
the Docoss X1 was in fact genuine, or just a scam.

The smartphone
is currently up for pre-bookings (and will be up till Friday 10pm) via
SMS and the company's website. On Thursday afternoon, Docoss' Twitter
handle tweeted, "Don't panic real phone real images," alongside four
images of the Docoss X1 that appear to match the device seen on the
company's website.
Separately, in a Facebook post earlier on
Thursday, Docoss posted an unboxing and hands-on video with the
smartphone. The video clarified the Docoss X1 will be available in only
colour variant - Black, and that the box will come with earphones, apart
from an AC adapter and USB data cable. The video also shows certain
applications are pre-installed, including WhatsApp.
The company
in the video goes on to reiterate the specifications of the Docoss X1
smartphone, and claims that while people are wondering how it has
managed to provide these specifications at this price, that's "actually
the USP of our product."
In the meanwhile, Docoss on Friday also
published a video on its
YouTube channel, reiterating the specifications of the smartphone. To
recall, the Docoss X1 features a 4-inch display, with an unconventional
resolution of 400x480 pixels; a 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex-A7 processor;
1GB of RAM; 4GB of inbuilt storage that's expandable via microSD card
(up to 32GB); GPRS/ EDGE; 3G; a 1300mAh battery; a 2-megapixel rear
camera with LED flash; a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and Android
4.4.2 KitKat. It weighs 102 grams, and measures 122.2x64.4x9.3mm.
