- The Aqua Secure includes a fingerprint sensor, a rare feature for phones in its very low price range. (TechloMedia)
- Dual SIM support and LTE/4G connectivity give basic modern network access. (TechloMedia)
- Its display is a 4.5-inch IPS screen, which makes it compact and easy to handle for general tasks like texting, calling, simple apps. (TechloMedia)
- Removable battery (1900 mAh) and microSD support (up to 32 GB) mean longer use and expandability without needing a new device. (TechloMedia)
Where It Struggles & Why It’s Still Useful
- Performance is basic: 1 GHz quad-core processor, 1 GB RAM, and 8 GB internal storage make it slow for heavy apps or multi-tasking. (gogi.in)
- Display resolution is FWVGA (480×854), which is well below what many users expect today. (What Is My Phone)
- Software is dated (Android 5.1), meaning fewer updates and limitations with newer apps. (TechloMedia)
Possible Local Price & Where to Watch
- Reliable listings for the Aqua Secure in Kenya are scarce. There is no verified source showing recent stock or local price for a new unit.
- Given its international launch in 2016 at roughly USD 85 (≈ KES 11,500-13,000 depending on rates) as seen on sites like Mobiles4Sale, a used or imported example might cost KES 8,000-15,000 depending on condition and shipping. (Mobiles4Sale)
- Stores to check:
• Used phone dealers in Nairobi
• Import-specialist online shops
• Online marketplaces like Jiji or Facebook Marketplace (look for “Intex Aqua Secure”)
Who It’s Good For
- Someone who needs a basic phone for calls, SMS, WhatsApp, or light use without wanting a big investment.
- A user who values budget security features like fingerprint unlock without expecting top performance.
- A person who wants a phone that’s easy to repair or swap parts (battery or microSD) without high costs.
Final Thoughts
The Intex Aqua Secure won’t compete with newer budget phones in speed, display sharpness, or modern software. However, its fingerprint sensor, removable battery, dual SIM + LTE, and low price make it a viable value option for someone wanting a simple, dependable device. If you can find it within the KES 10,000-15,000 range in good condition, it delivers more than its cost implies. For very light users or those needing a backup phone, it might serve well enough.
