California based Swipe Telecom has launched a new budget Phablet in an alliance with MTV, the MTV Volt 1000 priced at Rs. 11,999.

The dual-SIM phablet is powered by a Mediatek (MTK 6577) 1GHz dual-core processor and has 1GB of RAM. It features a 6-inch display with a resolution of 480x854 pixels, which is a little disappointing.

The phablet runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It offers 4GB of internal storage expandable up to 32GB via microSD card.

MTV Volt 1000 sports an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.3-megapixel front facing shooter. The phablet offers Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and USB 2.0 connectivity options. It features a 2850 mAh battery.

As part of the MTV branding, the device also has an inbuilt TV-player that offers on-the-go access to MTV and also features FM Radio with FM Transmitter.

The device will be available across multiple retail outlets in India, the Swipe e-store and with leading online portals as well.

Earlier this year, Swipe had launched another phablet, the MTV Volt, with a 6-inch screen as part of its 2 year licensing agreement with Viacom18 the network that runs MTV. The first MTV Volt had almost the same specifications except that it featured 512MB of RAM and a 3200 mAh battery.

MTV had launched two devices under a similar partnership with Micromax three years ago namely the Micromax MTV X505 Psych and the Micromax MTV X360. It sold 2.3 lakh units of the two phones.
