Obi Mobiles, the brand backed by ex-Apple CEO John Sculley, has
introduced its second smartphone for the Indian market - the Python
S452. The company marked its
entry into the Indian market last month with the
Obi Octopus S520, priced at Rs. 11,990.

The yet-to-be-announced Obi Python S452 is now listed
on the company's site without any pricing and availability details.
There is no official word on the launch of the Python S452; though we
expect that the company will announce the smartphone in the coming days.
The
highlight of the Obi Python S452 are its rear-mounted physical buttons,
which is reminiscent of the LG G2 and the all new LG G3. The
smartphone also sports leather-like material at the back, which in this
case, is similar to some Samsung Galaxy handsets.
The Obi Python
S452 is a dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) device and supports one regular SIM card
and one Micro-SIM card. The smartphone still runs the dated Android 4.2
Jelly Bean.
It sports a 4.5-inch FWVGA (480x854 pixels) TFT
display. The Python S452 is powered by a dual-core processor, with
unspecified chipset and clock speed, alongside 1GB of RAM. It sports a
2-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and GC2035 CMOS image sensor. It
also houses a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera. The smartphone includes
4GB of inbuilt storage which is further expandable up to 32GB via
microSD card. The smartphone is listed in White colour variant only. The
Obi Python S452 measures 135x62x10mm and weighs 145 grams.
It
