Meet HSL Y501 Plus: A Phone as strong as a Hammer

HSL Mobile has now launched a new smartphone dubbed the Y501 in India. The USP of the recent smartphone lies in the way that the HSL Y501 touts a so called 'HammerScreen'.

According to the HSL Mobile the Hammer Screen protects the display of the smartphone from various forms of damage, thereby offering a super impact protection. HSL however doesn't detail much on how they are achieving this so called HammerScreen.

Director of HSL Mobiles Naresh Yadav are very happy to introduce Y501 Plus in India which is specifically designed and developed keeping Indian consumers' need for vernacular languages solution and a tougher screen at the centre.

Apparently it seems that HSL has included a more than one layer of Gorilla Glass protection to achieve this super impact protection. In fact a few Chinese smartphone brands like Oukitel, UMi has done so in the past, and that too rather successfully.

Coming to the specs, the HSL Y501 sports a 1.2GHz quad core Mediatek SoC with 1GB RAM and 8GB of on-board storage. This is further expandable via MicroSD card slot upto 32GB. In terms of camera the HSL Y501 features a 5MP rear and 2MP front facing camera. Besides that the smartphone is powered by a 2000mAh battery which according to the company can deliver 10 hours of talk time and 150 hours of standby time.
