Indian smartphone and tablet vendor Wickedleak recently announced the launch of their first ever octa-core device, the Wickedleak Wammy Passion X.
The device, as mentioned, is Wickedleak’s first octa-core and comes with the same build and form factor as the previous-gen Wammy Passion Z from Wickedleak. This time round, though, Wickedleak have thrown in water-resistant coating, which they claim makes it ‘probably the world’s first true hydrophobic smartphone‘. We wished Wickedleak were a little less ambiguous there.
According to the company, the device has ‘sustenance power of more than 30min in water and any water-based liquid‘, unlike the Quechua 5″ phone from Archos.

A 13 mega-pixel rear camera along with a 5 mega-pixel front take control of the imaging front on the device, with a 5-inch 1920 x 1080p screen sitting on top of it all. The device features a 2500mAh battery and runs on Android v4.2 out of the box.
The device is being marketed with a steep price tag of 22,499 INR ($363), which quite honestly makes it out of reach for most budget-device seekers. Having said that, it is important to mention that hardly any other device in its category comes with the AquaProtect coating which the Wammy Passion X features.
nice phone!! Big brands must start to do this
looks very very like iOcean x7 family,
I checked http://www.wickedleak.org/225-wammy-passion-x-android-42-octa-core-.html
and yes it is, I has the same appearance and dimensions as iOcean x7 family but
I wonder how they have managed to put there a 2500mah battery while iOcean x7 family has 2000mah at that dimensions
Yeah, iOcean X7 owners start throwing your phone in water, it seems to be water proof 😛 LOL
Fully agree, this is merely an iOcean rebrand in India, at a steeper price!
