Karbonn Brings in a Battery of Phones

Amongst the low-budget multimedia phone companies, Karbonn has not hit the Indian market too well. Looking at the K10 and K560, you might just agree. They're now trying to counter that with quantity, as they plan on launching ten new phones with varied features and prices.

The specs of all the phones are not officially out, but in brief the Karbonn K111, K11 and K514 fall in the multimedia category while the Karbonn K550i, K424, K343, K316, are music phones. The Karbonn K451i doesn’t boast of any features apart from good battery life. We’ve found some specs from various sites on the K1414 and K25i.
