Intex Cloud X3 Unboxing

Intex Cloud X3-9

Intex was the first company to launch an affordable Android smartphone, the Cloud X3 running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean). We have the device for unboxing and review. It is powered by the latest MediaTek MT6572 chip with Mali-400 MP GPU that has integrated Wi-Fi, FM, GPS and Bluetooth. Both the Cloud X1 and the Cloud X2 had a single-core processor.

Intex has also launched the the Cloud X4 recently, which has a 3.2MP rear camera and 3G support.
