Wickedleak launched their ultra-affordable octa-core smartphone, the Wammy Neo Youth a few weeks back for just 8500 INR ($140), which apparently made other local OEMs rethink their strategies. iBall seems to have worked out theirs, and have launched the octa-core iBall Andi 5K Panther.
The Andi 5K Panther comes with a 5-inch 960 x 540 pixel quarter-HD display, underneath which sits the octa-core 1.4GHz MediaTek MT6592M chipset, that we earlier saw in the Xiaomi Redmi Note’s lower spec’d version. Complete specifications of the Andi 5K Panther can be found below:

At just 10,500 INR or $171, the iBall Andi 5K Panther looks like quite a fair deal. The device is very similar in specifications to the Lenovo Golden Warrior A8 that we recently talked about, barring the fact that the Andi 5K panther doesn’t come with LTE.
We’re certainly starting to see many more exciting devices come from India than ever before. Do you think it is exciting enough to give the Chinese scene some competition?
Funny, that “panther” is actually a Cheetah which is not a Panther. If they Bad put a lion it would habe been more correct
Andi, have you been the inspiration to the phone name? 🙂
Awesome!
With phones like this, here is no need to import phones from Chinese websites & fighting with the customs department. Also you get support, though some say it to be very poor. But you get one year warranty also.
