There are two models: the boltt Ace 5G and the boltt Evo. Both are budget options. You get a big 6.79-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a hefty 6000mAh battery, Google Gemini AI features, and Android 16 with no bloatware. That last part is a relief.

Hardware and Performance Details
The boltt Ace 5G uses an octa-core UNISOC T8200 chip. On AnTuTu, it scores over 5,47,000. That should be enough for daily stuff, multitasking, and jumping between apps. You can get up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. There’s also expandable memory and NFC for payments, which is handy.
The boltt Evo runs on a UNISOC T7250 chip. You get up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. It’s meant for basic use, web browsing, and streaming. Nothing fancy, but it should get the job done.
Both phones are just 7.95mm thick, even with that big 6000mAh battery inside. The Ace 5G supports 18W fast charging over USB Type-C. You actually get the 18W charger in the box, which is rare these days.
Display, Software, and Camera Capabilities
Up front, both models sport a 6.79-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 600 nits peak brightness. The software runs on stock Android 16 without third-party bloatware apps. Users get built-in Google Gemini tools, including Circle to Search, Google Lens, and AI Night Mode for low-light photography.
For photos, the Ace 5G carries a 64MP primary sensor on the rear. The Evo features a 50MP main sensor paired with a 2MP macro sensor. Both models include an 8MP front camera that uses Real Tone processing for accurate skin tones.
