Bangalore-based smartphone maker Karbonn Mobiles released on Monday an entry-level Android handset called Smart A51.

Early this month, the company had released a budget phone, Karbonn A8, in the market for ₹6,189. The device featured a bigger 4.0-inch display TFT LCD display and runs on Android v4.2 powered by a dual-core processor with 512MB RAM and 4GB memory.
