Smartwatch maker Fire-Boltt has entered the smartphone market with the launch of two budget phones under its new boltt brand: the boltt Ace 5G and the boltt Evo. The phones target the budget segment with features such as a 6.79-inch 120Hz display, a 6000mAh battery, and AI features like Google Gemini and Circle to Search.

The boltt Evo, priced from Rs 9,999, runs on a Unisoc T7250 processor and has a 50MP AI rear camera. The boltt Ace 5G, priced from Rs 12,999, offers 5G connectivity, a 64MP rear camera, and 18W fast charging. Both phones come with expandable storage up to 1TB. Sales will be on Flipkart.
Fire-Boltt enters a crowded budget smartphone market where Xiaomi, Realme, and Samsung dominate below Rs 15,000. The company's core strength is its wearable ecosystem: smartwatches and bands that sync with phones. If boltt phones integrate deeply with Fire-Boltt wearables, that could give it a differentiator over rivals. The IDC reported in 2024 that Fire-Boltt led the Indian smartwatch market with a 26% share. The success of this phone launch will hinge on whether that brand loyalty in wearables translates into phone sales. The next number to watch is the first-week sales figure on Flipkart.
