Over the years, fans have bestowed much love and affection upon me and I am always touched by their gestures. I had requested the Smartron team to come up with a smartphone for everyone without compromising the “Core” performance and the Smartron premium experience. They designed a stunning smartphone which caters to all the requirements of the people today. This is another opportunity for me to engage with all who have given me much over the years including the second innings of my life.
