The Karbonn Titanium Octane Plus features a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixel) IPS display, and runs on the 1.7GHz MediaTek MT6592 octa-core processor, however, with 2GB of RAM. It features a 16-megapixel autofocus rear camera with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Also powered by a 2000mAh battery like the Titanium Octane. the Titanium Octane Plus features 16GB of built-in storage that is expandable via microSD card up to 32GB.

Connectivity options on the Titanium Octane Plus include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, 3G (HSPA+), and Bluetooth 4.0. The phone measures 147.3x72.6x7.6mm, and once again, no weight has been provided.

The Karbonn Titanium Hexa (seen above) features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixel) LTPS display, and is powered by a 1.5GHz hexa-core MediaTek MT6591 processor that is coupled with 2GB of RAM. The Titanium Hexa bears a 13-megapixel rear autofocus camera with flash, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It features 16GB of built-in storage that is expandable via microSD card up to 32GB.

Finbarr Moynihan, MediaTek's General Manager of International Sales and Marketing, at the launch event in New Delhi said, "The target for our companies is very aligned. A shared mission of 'Everyday Genius', and enabling the growth of the 'super-mid' market. The shift in the middle class - literally billions of people - is going to be heavily concentrated in Asia. The spending power from 2009 has grown exponentially."

At the same time, Moynihan elaborated, operators in US and European markets are struggling with subsidies, and these two forces will lead to a bell curve where the highest volume - about 80 percent of the market - is in the middle. "Over time, the volume will shift to the higher-middle, or super-mid," he added.
