Sharp Unveils Youth Centric Mobile Phones in India

Four handsets - Blink, Tango, Cyborg and Alice make an appearance

Sharp is the newest entrant in the mobile handset maker market of India. The consumer electronics company has launched a range of handsets in the country, mostly targeting the youth. At an event held in Delhi, the company has launched four new handsets - Blink, Tango, Cyborg and Alice. Out of these, Blink and Tango have a clamshell form factor while Alice is a full touchscreen phone and Cyborg comes with Cycloid rotating screen panel. These four phones are already available in select cities and would be made accessible across India by year-end.

New Sharp handsets are designed for the hip and fashion frenzy youth who love to flaunt chic handsets and stay in touch with their pals over social networks. Now let's take a look at the new Sharp handsets.

Blink is a dual-SIM handset with a clamshell form factor and comes with LED illumination effects in 7 different colors. Meant for the mobile frenzy people, this handset offers quick access to social network services like Facebook and Twitter. Sharp Blink will be available at an MRP of Rs. 6,499.

Tango incorporates a touch panel for intuitive graphic user interface operation and also has an accelerometer. It's a clamshell with touchscreen support. This 'high-end' clamshell phone has a 2.9-inch high-res display supporting touchscreen operations. As of now, we don't know if it's a capacitive or resistive touchscreen. Avid social network users can make the best of 5 megapixel camera by clicking and sharing good quality images through their accounts. Tango is available at MRP of Rs. 17,999. Sharp said it will also offer 3G network supporting Tango variant.

Cyborg is a cycloid form factor bearing phone with a screen that can be rotated 180 degrees. Coming with a 3.2-megapixel camera and high-resolution display, this phone too would fall under the high-end category from Sharp. Cyborg is offered at an MRP of Rs. 16,999.

The full touchscreen display bearing Alice will sport twin stereo speakers in the front. Social network addicts will gain easy access to various community websites on this phone. Alice is available at an MRP of Rs. 8,499.

Sharp is known for its cordless phones in India. With the advent of 3G Cellular Network services in India, the company also plans to come up with 3G friendly handsets soon. Only time will tell if this consumer electronics maker will be able to slice fair share of mobile market cake like LG did.
