Price and Conclusion
The Spice Stellar 526 looks like a good value for money device at Rs 11,499. It is packed with a powerful chipset, better display, acceptable internal storage space and Android 4.4 KitKat at this price bracket. The phone sounds like a worthy competitor to the other hexa-core smartphones available in the market, but it falls short of USB OTG support and 2 GB of RAM that is becoming common features these days. However, the Stellar Spice 526 carries the credit of becoming the cheapest hexa-core smartphone available in the market.
