The Creo Mark 1 will be available for purchase at its new price of Rs. 13,999 for a week starting Monday.

The Creo Mark 1 is a dual-SIM (Micro-SIM + Nano-SIM) smartphone that’s powered by a 1.95GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 SoC, coupled with 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM. It bears a 21-megapixel rear autofocus camera with LED flash and 4K video recording, apart from an 8-megapixel front-facing camera with full-HD video recording.
