Design and Display

Intex Aqua Style Pro is quite slim, with a thickness of just 8.8 mm. It is also quite light. The handset has also a matte finish back panel, making it much easier to handle. The device’s overall finish is quite good and feels sturdy but the protruding rear camera unit is prone to scratches. Its right and left hand sides are curved and thus gives good grip.

The front display is though a finger print magnet but does not get scratches easily. However, you must use a screen protector. The 4.5 inch display has 480×854 pixels resolution which means it has healthy 217 ppi pixel density. Its brightness though is just enough for outdoors.

Rating for design: 9/10
Rating for display: 6/10

The rear camera however never worked like a true 8 megapixel unit. The images clicked via the rear camera lacks detail and most of the time were gloomy even though clicked in bright outdoors. It also takes a awful long time to focus on objects. The front camera and the LED flash lights though serve their purpose well. Below are the images that we have clicked using the rear camera.

Rating for camera: 5/10
