iNQ Cloud Touch Overall Review

The iNQ Cloud Touch, released in February 2011, marked a notable entry into the smartphone market with its focus on social media integration, particularly with Facebook. This Android-powered device featured a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, offering a compact and user-friendly interface for navigating through its features and applications.

At the heart of the Cloud Touch was a Snapdragon S1 chipset, accompanied by 512 MB of storage, expandable via microSD card, catering to the needs of users for storing apps, music, photos, and other media. The smartphone came equipped with a 5 MP primary camera, capable of capturing clear images for its time.

A significant highlight of the iNQ Cloud Touch was its deep integration with Facebook, allowing users to stay connected with their social network effortlessly. It offered dedicated widgets and apps for instant access to Facebook’s core features, including news feed, messages, and notifications, right from the home screen.

Powered by a 1300 mAh battery, the Cloud Touch aimed to provide sufficient power to support daily activities, though heavy usage could require mid-day charging. It ran on Android 2.2 Froyo, offering a range of Google services and access to the Android Market for apps.
