Fly is the latest entrant in the Indian smartphone market. The company has released features phones in the past, but this is the first time, we have seen the company introduce smartphones in the country. Although, we did find some smartphones listed on the company website, none of them were ever announced officially.
Fly Mobile today announced the launch of three Android smartphones at a press event in New Delhi. The phones have been priced starting INR 4,500 and will be available in the coming days.
The smartphones introduced by Fly Mobile include F40, F51, and F45s. Let us talk about the specific smartphones, Fly F40 features a 4-inch HVGA display and is powered by 1GHz processor. The phone runs on outdated Android 2.3 and is the cheapest model from the company.

As such there is nothing exciting about any of the Fly smartphones, in line with other launches from home-grown Indian mobile phone companies; these are too re-branded Chinese products. Fly Mobiles has not even been aggressive on the pricing front, so we don’t see them succeeding in the already crowded smartphone market in the country.
