Launching the two new Android-based 4G smartphones ‘A1 Indian’ and ‘A41 Power’ “at the price of a feature phone”, Airtel said the devices would be available at an “effective price” of Rs 1,799 (against MRP of Rs 4,390) and Rs 1,849 (against MRP of Rs 4,290) after taking into account the cash refunds on offer.
Both 4G smartphones come bundled with Airtel’s monthly pack of Rs 169.
