Fire-Boltt's sub-brand Boltt has entered the smartphone market with two budget phones in India: the Boltt Ace 5G and Boltt Evo. Aajtak reports the Evo starts at a launch price of Rs 9,999 and the Ace 5G at Rs 12,999. Gadgets360 states both phones go on sale via Flipkart from September 1.

Both phones feature a 6.79-inch HD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate and a 6,000mAh battery. The Boltt Ace 5G, as per Aajtak, packs a Unisoc T8200 processor, 64MP rear camera, and 5G connectivity. The Boltt Evo uses a Unisoc T7250 chip, 50MP rear camera, and runs Android 16. Gadgets360 adds the Ace 5G comes in six colours and the Evo in five.
Both sources report the launch neutrally, focusing on specifications and pricing. Aajtak frames the move as a notable entry from a known wearables brand into a competitive budget segment, while Gadgets360 treats it as a standard product launch with sale dates and colour options. The coverage lacks critical scrutiny of build quality, software update policy, or after-sales service, which will matter for buyers choosing an unproven phone brand.
