Fire-Boltt Dream launching in India — IT’S A WRISTPHONE!

January 9, 2024

Fire-Boltt, an Indian homegrown brand is gearing up to launch an interesting product under the namesake “Dream”. It is a smartphone in the form factor of a smartwatch. As a matter of fact — the company is marketing this product as a “wristphone”, and rightfully so! Let’s delve into further details of the Fire-Boltt Dream, its specifications, price in Nepal, and so on.

Fire-Boltt Dream Overview

Design and Display

As I have said earlier, the Fire-Boltt Dream is a wristphone. Given that, it comes with all the basic specs of a smartphone but in a smartwatch’s form factor. Therefore, looking at it, it looks like any smartwatch with a screen up front. It features a home button, a speaker, and a crown on the right side. Meanwhile, the SIM tray sits on the left side of the device and the bottom features the sensor base. All of this is packed in an IP67-rated body and comes in 12 different colour-and-band options.

On the front, we are getting a TrueView display that measures 2.02 inches diagonally. The company has not specified what kind of panel it is, it is an IPS LCD panel perhaps. Nonetheless, it spans 320 x 386 pixels in resolution while being capable of 600 nits of peak brightness and a refresh rate of 60Hz.

Performance

To offer you the performance of a smartphone, the Fire-Boltt Dream comes with a combination of Cortex-A7MP quad-core CPU and Mali-T820 MP1 GPU. It is further coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. In the meantime, it also features the Fire-Boltt Health Suite offering you all the health and fitness tracking capabilities of a smartwatch.

On the software end, it runs on THE Android OS instead of the Wear OS. As a result, you can access the entire Google suite while also tapping into the wide selection of apps via Play Store. This includes the likes of your favourite social media apps, dating apps, e-commerce apps, streaming services, and even lightweight games like Temple Run, Subway Surfers, and Clash of Clans. All in all, the Fire-boltt Dream should offer you the performance of a budget smartphone. Thus, removing the need of having to carry around an actual smartphone.
