The Aurus IV is the thirteenth smartphone from the company. Other Idea smartphones include Idea Ultra, Idea Aurus II, Idea Aurus III, Idea Blade, Idea ID280 and Idea ID918.

The Idea Aurus IV features a 4.5-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480x854 pixels and a 16 million colour gamut.

The Aurus IV sports an 5-megapixel fixed-focus rear camera and also includes a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera. It is a dual-SIM device (GSM+GSM) and will be available in Black and White colours. The device packs an 1800mAh battery which can deliver up to 4 hours of talktime and up to 392 hours of standby time on a 3G network.

Launching the 3G smartphone, Sashi Shankar, Chief Marketing Officer, Idea Cellular said, "The young and savvy youth of India has a huge appetite for content on mobile, but is deterred due to highly priced smartphones in India.
