In terms of connectivity, it packs the usual stuff - WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and has HSPA+ for data connectivity. Battery is at 2000 mAh is just adequate more or less 8-10 hrs depends on usage.



Finally its camera features is a 13MP Rear and 5MP front supported both with flash. This would definitely lit up those dim camera moments or your selfies.

Overall, Cherry Mobile is improving their line up. The Omega Icon is turning out to be mega iconic with its design, hardware and camera features at only 6,499.00.

If you want to buy one make sure you check if there is a problem with WiFi. Some users report that there is a bug that wont let you turn it off and some disconnecting and connecting issues.


Side Note: Early Users points to Micromax A121 Canvas Elanza 2 as the OEM. If this is true, then its camera features are just interpolated (13MP vs 8MP rear 5MP vs 2MP front). 

Big Shout Out to the Guys over on Facebook Cherry Mobile Omega ICON UNITED and Cherry Mobile Omega Icon Group.
