It sports an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera and LED flash, while it also houses a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. The device includes an 1800mAh Li-ion battery that is rated to deliver up to 4 hours of talk time and up to 180 hours of standby time. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Micro-USB, GPRS/EDGE, Micro-USB, and 3G. The smartphone comes with dimensions 145x75x8.4mm.

The company also confirmed that it now has 95 service centres across India for the after sales service of its Obi handsets.
