I have purchased it 5-6 months before and here is my observations are as follows: -
Pros: -
1) this is the best micromax mobile in low end smartphone market
2) It’s design is simple and nice and provides good grip to hold.
3) Regular updates will fascinate the user for almost 2 years.
4) This Is the cheapest phone to get Android L and android M.
5) Its resolution is low but due to IPS technology and good screen brightness you will not be disappointed. HD video runs smoothly with MX player.
6) Its sound clearity is awesome and is loud and clear.
7) Touch response is fast and fluid and match up the moto G’s touch response.
8) This is a good stock android device.
9) its front camera( 2 mp) is nice and even better than its rear canera.pic are coming out clear and sharp.
Cons: -
1) Its battery drains out heavily. If you are a moderate to heavy user than better try some other phone. If you are surfing on 2g network you’ll hardly get 3-4 hours of power.you have to reach your power socket every now and then.
2) There is no protection on screen by some scratch resistant glass like gorilla glass aur dragon trail glass which are very common now.so you’ve to take utmost care of screen and screen guard is heavily needed.
3) Its rear camera is not something to boost about. It will take decent PIC in outside surrounding but in night or inner surrounding picture will be noisy.Its flash is not powerful enough to provide proper light.
4) Micromax After sale service is worst in India as you all know. Always pray that you never have any problem in phone other wise you’ll curse yourself for purchasing micromax product. Their service representative will always make some excuses and if they are ready to repair your phone than either you have to revisit the centre again and again or you’ve to wait for a long time to get your repaired phone back.
Now some tips for android one bbuyer: -
1) Avoid applying screen guard by yoursrlf .
2) Purchase mobile case to protect your phone from bumps and drop.
3) Since this is a stock android there will be no third party app so there will be no file explorer on this phone and there is no gallery application so you have to download it from Google play.
4) You can’t be able to receive any application over bluetooth because some devices not allow this for security reason. Although you can receive an app by renaming it. For Eg: - suppose I have an app named xmen.apk and I want to transfer it to android one through Bluetooth than I will rename the app to some other form( like send as a image or video) so I rename it to xmen.PNG or xmen.jpeg then it will be transferred to android one.on receiving this file rename it to xmen.apk Now it is ready to install.
Note: All the copy, pasting and renaming is done by file explorer so first download any file explorer.
Some must have app( for first time android user): -
1) MX player( its a video player)
2) ES file explorer( best File explorer)
3) 360 security( its no.1 antivirus engine+ ram cleaner+ file hiding)
4) for gallery you can try My Roll app.
That’s it.
I hope you will like my honest review and keep this review in mind before placing your order.
