The Billion Capture+ is part of Flipkart’s private label Billion and this is a ‘Made for India’ smartphone, says the company. It will have a 5.5-inch full HD display with 401 PPI and 2.5D Dragontrail glass on top for extra protection. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor with 3GB/4GB RAM and  32GB/64GB storage on board. This is expandable up to 128 GB via a microSD card.

According to Flipkart, Billion Capture+ has a premium metal body crafted. The device will come with unlimited cloud storage and run stock Android Nougat. The company is also promising a guaranteed upgrade to Android Oreo for the phone.

On the camera front, the Capture+ has a 13MP + 13MP dual rear camera with dual tone flash that is specially designed to capture double the light and double the details, even in low light. The dual rear camera works just like the human eye, with RGB and monochrome sensors working in tandem to capture vibrant colours in vivid detail. The smartphone packs a 3,500mAh battery that provides up to two days of uninterrupted battery life.

“The Billion brand’s products have always been backed by meticulous data-driven research and insight into Indian customers’ needs. The features in the Capture+ too have been derived from deep data-mining of millions of Flipkart customers’ reviews. Few true dual camera phones offer this combination of flagship features. We’re sure this customer-centricity will delight Indian smartphone buyers,” said Sachin Bansal, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, Flipkart in a press statement.

For servicing, the phone will be supported by the pan India service network of F1 Info Solutions, which is now owned by Flipkart. The company is also claiming it will have 130 service centres for its phones in over 125 cities in the country.
