Videocon Q1 V500K with Dual WhatsApp support, 4G VoLTE listed online: Specifications and features

Videocon has listed a new smartphone, Q1 V500K on its official website. Though, details about the price and availability of the smartphone haven’t disclosed as yet. The Videocon Q1 V500K smartphone comes with Xiaomi’s dual-space like feature, allowing users to run dual WhatsApp accounts. The smartphone comes pre-loaded with apps like V-Safe, V-Secure, EROS Now, Gameloft Games, Opera Mini browser, SwiftKey, Office Suite, Chillx and Daily Hunt. Videocon is also bundling a few goodies along with the smartphone like Scratch Guard, Flip Cover and EROS Now coupon.


The key talking point about the Videocon Q1 V500K is that it supports dual WhatsApp accounts. In simpler words, users will be able to use two WhatsApp accounts on the Videocon Q1 smartphone. The feature is similar to the feature introduced in Xiaomi’s MIUI 8, also allows users to use two WhatsApp accounts. Xiaomi’s feature, though, goes beyond the dual WhatsApp accounts, and allows dual-space optimization that allows users to create separate spaces for different accounts with different passwords which then creates dual space virtually for two accounts. The Coolpad Max also has this feature, which is called BiLogin for system-level virtualization solution and dual-space.
