I ordered this phone for my sister as her first phone. I had no big expectations on this phone. When the phone arrived, The packaging was impressive. I’ll describe my observations so far.
Display: The phone’s display is as premium as any mid end Samsung phone. The colors are vivid. The touch screen is also well responsive considering the price.
Performance: With an Octa Core processor and Mali 450 MP4, it’s the most powerful phone at this price range. There are no visible lags as of now. The UI is fluid as it should be.
Camera: This is where the phone is a killer. This 13MPX killer camera captures pictures better than my Yuphoria and don’t underestimate the 2MPX front camera. The front camera’s quality is also satisfactory but the pictures are grainy in low light.
Sensors: The only place where the phone lags. It doesn’t have Magnetic and Gyro Sensor. So this phone will not be compatible with any VR Cardboards.So, People who think about experiencing Virtual Reality with this phone, Make a note.
Battery Backup: I was probably expecting too much of Juice from this 2500mAh battery but got disappointed as the phone discharged from 100% to 34% in around 3 hours with 30% brightness and no Sim Cards and only Wi-Fi. But the minimum brightness is probably enough for most of the time as it’s treshold is greater than most of the phones. But the Micromax Update app was consuming 24% of the battery in the background.I’ll force close it and update the results later.But with optimum brightness and two SIM Cards on stand-by, it should give you at least 5 hours of backup which is average for almost every phone. So, Nothing exceptional in battery backup.
LED Notification Light looks like a bonus for this phone. Many phones at this price range don’t have one. You will not know when it’ll be useful. Without a LED Notification, You’ll never know if your phone fully charged or has a notification until you turn on the display.
And finally, The phone sports killer looks. It looks very premium and very well reasonable in this price. The earphones provided with this phone sounds like Beats. Never recieved such high quality earphones with any other phone. Upvote if you find it useful:)
Updates:
This phone has some software issues. The phone slows down occasionally. And suddenly there was a problem with the camera. When you open the Camera App, There is a grey screen in the viewfinder. This can be temporarily fixed by going to Settings->Apps->All->Camera->Clear Data. Then it will take few weeks for it to build up cache and this problem might occur again. The only permanent fix for these issues is a software update by Micromax which is promised. Let’s hope Micromax fixes these bugs in the Lollipop Update.
