Indian smartphone brand Karbonn has officially made a comeback in the country's smartphone market with the launch of its new Rebel series, comprising the Rebel and Rebel Pro. The 4G phones will be available to purchase online in India starting November 4.
The Karbonn Rebel is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset and features a 6.75-inch LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate. The rear panel features a large horizontal camera island with three cutouts. However, Karbonn has only confirmed a 50MP primary rear camera, suggesting the other two cutouts may be decorative. Details about its front camera are unavailable, though one is present. The phone packs a 7,000mAh battery with support for 18W wired charging. It runs Android 16 and is promised two years of OS and security updates. Other features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, and an IP64 rating. It starts at INR 11,999 for the 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant and is available in Blue, Gold, and Silver.
The Karbonn Rebel Pro is also powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset but features a 6.7-inch LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate. At the back, it sports a vertically aligned camera module with three cutouts. Karbonn has again confirmed only a 64MP primary rear camera. The phone also gets a 16MP front-facing camera. The Rebel Pro packs a smaller 6,000mAh battery but supports faster 20W wired charging. It runs stock Android 16 and is promised two years of OS and security updates. It also includes an IP64 rating, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port.
