Videocon Cube 3 Specifications and Features
The Videocon Cube 3 rocks a 5.0-inch IPS display with 2.5D curved Dragontrail glass protection that has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (HD). In terms of computing power, it is powered by a MediaTek MT6735 quad-core 64-bit chipset clocked at 1.3 GHz along with Mali-T720 GPU.

The smartphone comes pre-loaded with a SOS - Be Safe emergency response app, which has Alert, Walk with ME and reach on time features. Videocon has stated that their entire smartphone segment will feature a “Panic Button”, since Government of India has recently mandated all mobiles sold in India to pack in a panic button from January 1, 2017.
In the camera department, we get a 13 megapixel rear primary camera with LED flash and Auto Focus. There is also a 5 megapixel front-facing selfie camera.

The Videocon Cube 3 comes in Black color and is priced at Rs. 8,490 in India. It will be going on sale across the country very soon via offline retail stores. If sold online, it will surely make its way into our Best Smartphones under 10000 category.
