Technology News Chinese communications firm Transsion Holdings earlier this year announced an agreement with domestic handset manufacturer Spice Mobility to re-launch the Spice brand in India.

To compete in the ever-growing Indian smartphone market, Spice has now introduced a new handset, the "V801", in the budget category.

Priced at Rs 7,999, the high point of Spice V801 is its fingerprint sensor.

Here's what works for the device.

Spice V801 comes with 5-inch HD IPS 2.5D curved display that offers decent touch response.

The upper half of the rear has glossy plastic finish while the rest has a matte texture that ensures a good grip.

The display offers decent sunlight legibility.

The smartphone sports 8MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, auto-focus and advanced image processing.

The device also offers different picture modes such as 'Beauty Mode' and 'Facemask' .

There is an 8MP front camera with flash for selfies.

The volume and power keys are placed at the right edge. A micro-USB charger port is placed at the bottom edge while a 3.5-mm headphone jack is placed at the top.

The phone has two bottom-firing speakers.
