Spice Stellar 526 is a mid-segment smartphone that packs a 1.5GHz true Hexacore processor from MediaTek with 1GB RAM. It has a 5 inch IPS HD display and runs on Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. The 8.3mm phone houses 8MP rear shooter with a 3.2MP camera on front. Spice has integrated a 2500 mAh battery on Stellar 526. In terms of storage, phone has an 8GB internal memory that can be further expanded up-to 32GB. Stellar 526 comes with a pricing of Rs 11,499 (MOP) and is available on retail stores throughout India by today.

The second phone, Spice Stellar 520 is a low-budget smartphone that will compete with Moto E, Zenfone 4, Micromax Unite 2 and the latest RedMi 1 from Xiaomi. Stellar 520 also has a 5 inch HD diplay and a 8MP rear camera, however its front is equipped with a 2MP camera. The phone packs a 1.3 GHz quad-core MediaTek chipset paired with 1GB RAM. Unlike Stellar 526, Stellar 520 has a 4GB internal memory that is expandable up-to 32GB. The phone is 8.3mm thin, runs on Android 4.4.2 Kitkat and has a 2000 mAh battery. Stellar 520 has a glossy back panel which comes in vibrant colours like red and yellow. Spice is offering its cloud service Spice Cloud with Stellar 520 and a flip-cover worth Rs 500. The phone is priced at Rs 8,999 (MOP) and is available throughout India on retail stores.

On being asked whether the phones will be available on e-commerce portal Flipkart, M Ramakrishnan, CEO-Devices, Spice Retail Ltd said that Spice is focussing on retail markets as internet penetration in India is still very less and consumers wants to feel the product in hands before spending their money and so the focus is on retail market for now. However the phones will be available on Spice's own e-commerce website Saholic.
