Aqua Fish is a smartphone produced by Intex Technologies that runs the GNU/Linux based Sailfish OS 2.0 released in July 2016 costing about Rs 5,000 (70 €), whose hardware specification is nearly identical to Jolla C, a limited-edition mobile phone released in May 2016 by Jolla geared toward Community and Developers, only with different cellular bands set. It is historically the first mobile device launched by OEM with Sailfish OS licensed from Jolla. The licensed OS allows to launch and use Android software simultaneously with native OS software (see: Sailfish OS for more details). It is the first device in a strategy for establishing Sailfish OS as the common and official operating system for the BRICS countries. The device was on display for the first time during World Mobile Congress 2016 at Barcelona in Spain.

The phone has integrated X5 LTE Global Mode modem. Bands: LTE FDD, LTE TDD, WCDMA (3C-HSDPA, DC-HSUPA), CDMA1x, EV-DO Rev.B, TD-SCDMA and GSM/EDGE.

With Sailfish OS in that device for the first time was used the PartnerSpace concept in jolla's new model for e-business together with Sailfish India.
