Sansui Horizon 2: One that easily fits your budget

After the successful launch of Sansui Horizon 1 smartphones, the company introduced its second version, Sansui Horizon 2 in May this year. The Japanese company that is slowly and steadily making its place in the Indian smartphone market, comes up with a fully Made in India Horizon 2 model. Horizon 2 is only a bit costlier than its predecessor at Rs 5,299 and is available on Flipkart - a great value for its significantly beefed up specs.

Business Standard used the Sansui Horizon 2 device for a couple of days to see if the phone delivers what it promises at such an inexpensive price. With Miravision display and Infra Red blaster as its highlights, here are our observations on the device’s performance on key parameters:

1. Display and design:

One of the key highlights of the smartphone is the MiraVision display that offers a range of visual enhancements for images and videos, while preserving its battery. The colours on the screen are very sharp owing to its 720p IPS screen.

Available in two colours: Rose Gold and Silver Grey, the handset features a 5-inch screen with curved edges. Horizon 2 comes with a removable battery and USB charger. On hand, the phone seems very light compared to others in the market.

Coming to the phone’s design, Horizon 2 is very light with a plastic unibody. Although the handset’s colours are metallic and showcases a good outward look, the feel of the phone is a bit cheap, which gives away the whole design to some extent. But again, the price and the phone’s specifications cover up its flaws.
