When I decided to move from Nokia Belle OS to Android, I searched the mobiles in May, 2013 & read the reviews on various website. In Android, we have samsung, HTC, LG which I checked during my search but the prices were too high I believed.
My requirement:
Big Screen to read the official emails without straining the eyes.
Good battery life.
Android.
within 15K budget.
No brand fixation but phone look good n sturdy.
When I check the Micromax A116-HD Canvas I really feel the vibrant colors on big screen, it look good in hand, & price was INR 14200 delhi. Highlighting the few features:-
The mobile has two sim which I was not keen but got it & can be used in future.
Ram-1GB, 4GB Internal memory+ memory card slot.
Screen Size: 5 inches
3.5mm Jack.which is standard now in most of the mobile phones.
8 MP Camera with flash.
Android OS, v4.1.2(Jelly Bean),
FM Radio
Talking time getting around 5 hrs otherwise mobile doenst need charge if used for 8-12 hours with data connection on.
Software downloaded: Gtasks, Cam Scanner, Springpad, Zootta, Advance Mobile Care, Instagram, Atrium(FB) HI(world clock)
Overall, I believe the Mobile is value for money since same screen Samsung was costing 20K in May, 2013 when I bought Micromax.
Suggestions:-
My personal suggestoins to other, to please review the varioius sites before going for a new mobile. Do try youtube also for review by users n CNET etc which I found is quite helpful.
Keep Smiling
