Sailfish OS Powered Intex Aqua Fish is now Available for Purchase

Intex Technologies announced Aqua Fish smartphone during MWC 2016. Intex promised to start selling the device during April-May, which never happened. Now the smartphone is mysteriously available for purchase via different eBay sellers. Customers can buy the smartphone for ₹5499 which is pretty attractive since the MRP is marked at ₹8999. The smartphone is unique because of the fact thatt it runs SailFish OS. SailFish OS provides a different and rich user experience which stands out from rest of the devices.

The Jolla & Intex Confusion

Intex never bothered publishing a press release informing the SailFish enthusiasts about the launch and availability of the device. Thankfully that did not stop some of the retailers from going ahead and start selling the smartphone. This caused a bit of confusion between Jolla – the maker of Sailfish OS and Intex. The former claimed that the devices being sold are stolen, but Intex claimed they are official. This issue also highlights how lack of communication between two partners can be dangerous.
