Build and Display
Not a lot appear to have been done to conceal the budget status of the Intex Cloud 3G Gem judging by its design. It sports a plastic chassis but, to its credit, features slightly-rounded corners. The phone is in no way slim at 10mm thick, but its weight of 124 grams is respectable.
It sports a 4-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels for decent pixel density of about 233 pixels per inch.
Camera and Storage
The Intex Cloud 3G Gem features a basic camera configuration. You will find a measly 2-megapixel snapper with LED flash and HDR on the backside. The VGA (0.3-megapixel) selfie camera gives no room for excitement either.
Buyers get internal storage memory of 4 GB, with about 1.26 GB of this already taken up by system resources. Support for up to 32GB microSD card should at least help to lift the gloom.
Performance and OS
Under the hood, the Intex Cloud 3G Gem offers a single-core Spreadtrum SC7731G processor clocked at a speed of 1 GHz. The CPU is paired with lowly 512 MB of RAM and a Mali 400 GPU. This configuration ultimately confirms that you should expect nothing but entry-level class performance on this device.
The operating system powering the phone is the now somewhat-obsolete Android 4.4 KitKat software. You indeed get what you pay for with the Cloud 3G Gem.
Other Features
Power is supplied by a 1,400mAh Li-Ion battery, expected to give you between five and six hours of talk time. As its name suggests, the Intex Cloud 3G Gem offers 3G connectivity.
MicroUSB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n also feature among the connectivity options. The phone allows the simultaneous use of two SIM cards – a feature which has pretty much become standard.
Pricing and Availability
Intex Cloud 3G Gem is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Intex Cloud 3G Gem Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N11,000 to N17,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
