Buoyed by the emphatic success of entry-level budget phones, Kult, a new age telecom brand, announced the launch of Kult Ambition. The device is designed to offer best in class mobility to entry-level 4G users with dual sim 4G VolTE feature. The phone is priced at Rs 5,999. The device will be available on Amazon starting December 11, 2017. The device is designed to offer best in class mobility to entry-level 4G users with dual sim 4G VolTE feature.  

Built: The 5-inch screen will allow users to immerse themselves in the large screen. It sports a sleek look and design giving the handset an elegant feel. The curved edges provide enough cushion to use the fingerprint sensor located at the back of the device. Although it is heavily loaded with features, Kult's Ambition weighs just 160 gms.

The phone features a 13 MP camera
Optics: The camera is good for a budget phone as it offers a 13MP Auto-Focus with LED Flash, which is more than what Oppo A37 provides. The camera is equivalent to its contemporaries like the Mi Redmi 4A at a cheaper price. The model offers 5 MP front camera with a flash. Now, the phone users can be confident about their selfies.   

Storage: Kult Ambition offers a 32GB internal storage with external memory expandable up to 32GB via microSD card. The phone storage is on par with many budget level smartphones such as the Intex Elyte E7, Micromax Selfie 2 at a less price. The customers will be free from any storage woes.    

Configuration: The phone operates with Android 7.0 Nougat with a 1.25 GHz Quad Core processor, which offers a fast-paced and thrilling experience. It is powered by a MediaTek MTK6737 SoC backed with 3GB RAM. The 5-inch ON-CELL HD IPS, display with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution will give you a good video experience.

Connectivity: Taking the 4G appeal to the next level, Kult Ambition comes with pre-installed Amazon.in app, Amazon Prime Video, Opera mini, Go2pay to recharge/Pay mobile bill. Other connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and it also has OTG support. 

The phone has issues with volume, which seems to be a bit low. With metal songs, it operated good quality sound for the room but if you listen to slow romantic songs, it is preferable to use an earphone. The phone comes with an old-school USB charger, which works quite well with other devices. So, it probably would work for your second phone as well. It draws power from a 2,600mAh battery. 

So, if you are looking for a phone around Rs 5,000- Rs 7,000 with all the modern features. You can go the Kult Ambition way.
