The highlight features on the budget segment Comio C2 smartphone include a massive 4000mAh battery and stock Android experience, as per the company’s press release. The C2 runs Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box and there is anti-theft software preloaded in every handset as well. “In case of any suspicious activity, SIM based alerts are shared with the registered alternate mobile number. One of the interesting feature of Anti-theft is the image click seek, wherein when someone tries to unlock the device by trying to break the pattern or PIN, the device will automatically take the image of the unauthorised person.
