The all-new Cloud Z5 Dual Core is Zync's second offering in the phablet segment; the first one being Cloud Z5 which was launched in October for ₹9,490.

Zync's 5-inch smartphone price seems to be competitively priced and pocket friendly compared to other smartphones offering similar specifications at exorbitant prices.

At present, the Indian smartphone and tablet market is congested with more than 135 companies, both big and small time vendors, vying for the top-spot. Zync has a chance of gaining market share if it continues to offer affordable tablets and smartphones targeted towards budget-conscious Indian consumers.

The Cloud Z5 Dual Core smartphone is available in most of the Indian online retail shops for ₹11,990.
