Review: O my god !!! What a mobile.... - All the people seeing this please don't trust samsung they are useless pieces of boxes naming them as mobiles. Samsung is a korean company not a indian one come on everyone micromax is a indian company support our indian company thats all i can say about samsung they never give updates for their mobiles unless the latest one that have been released I have been using Micromax bolt before which I dont like that much after seeing the specs of this mobile I just loved it. OK now to the point I am writing this review after 45 of usage I compared this mobile with 1. Moto e 2. Redmi 1s 3. Spice uno 4. Karbonn sparkle v 5. Etc.. Etc.. I removed redmi from my list because of over heating problems (it was stated that it can be used as a 1. Iron box 2. To cook food 3. To boil water etc..) And it was not KitKat. Now to moto e Main comparison was 1. Removable battery in Micromax and inbuilt battery in moto e 2. Heard that moto customer service is very bad I did like Micromax customer service so I opted Micromax 3. Then comes the flash, front cam, blah blah blah 4.I had sure updates for 2 years but for moto they told they will give 1 sure update Some con's 1. Display is not that crisp when compared to moto e 2. It's lighter when compared to moto e and moto e is having better build quality therefore. About Spice and karbonn All have the same features but when it comes to brand it's only Micromax (I think Micromax is the second leading mobile company in India) and I heard that both the company didn't have a satisfactory customer service. So opted for a1 Now about the phone It is really a cool phone which never even hanged once from the date which I brought. U can play almost all games might hang a little when using very high end game. I played asphalt 8 airborne it worked superbly on high graphics. Just as told it has 2.1 gb left in 4 GB for storing apps. Now that it's os is directly from Google u should download the following the very first moment "it a file explorer" I suggest u to download es file explorer it is the best explorer till now. And I had one issue which was already told on another comment it is that "when I send apps to another mobile via Bluetooth it sends and when any other mobile sends me I can't receive it is for some kind of security reasons only" to send any app I heard that u have to change the format and send it-it's like 1. Open es file explorer in another mobile not a1 2. Back up some app 3. Now when u try to send that app via blue tooth to a1 it will show some error 4. to avoid it go and hold on the app and choose rename option 5. Note if it's "xmen.apk" change it to "xmen.jpeg" or some other format and send now it must send 6. After u reach it in your phone again rename it to "xmen.apk" and install and enjoy. There is also a notification led in the front Mostly it will blink only on green actually it can also blink in red go and download an app from playstore like "light manger" which can control u led. Do not involve in high end gaming often as the battery may dye out to "0" soon The camera is good even though it's only 5mp the pics are really great even the front cam is good I also suggest everyone to download a video player which will be very helpful As this glass is Corning gorilla glass I highly recommend everyone to bye a SCRATCH GUARD and a cover may be a flip cover I don't like a flip cover but even though it will decrease the risk in getting your screen from scratches as it cover the front while those plastic and silicon ones just cover the back. Hopefully I think this review might have helped you. Always support our Indian companies. I suggest everyone to go for it if it is within their budget. Cheers everyone....
Review: Highly recommended. Great product at a very budget friendly price point. - I will start my review by saying that micromax (karbonn and spice) along with google have really the whole smartphone era to the next level with this smartphone. Like all other products this one also has some cons. I have tried to list them down below. But again I would like to mention that at this budget this is one of the best smartphones one can get in the current market. This fact even gets more strength when you consider that it will get latest android updates for the next 2 years. Pros: 1. 4.5 inch Screen large enough for proper viewing. 2. At this price the camera they are providing is way beyond what I had assumed. It even records the video in 1080p. 3. Decent battery backup. It holds up quite well for a full day of normal use. 4. I have tried may high end games on this device and none of them lagged. I really doubted this handset to pull off such a great performance. Some of the games I tested on this device are COD strike force and asphalt 8. 5. I felt that overall app performance was very smooth on this device. It may be due to the stock android running on the device. Cons: 1. Device gets little warm (using the term 'hot' would be inappropriate I think) on the top beside the camera when some intensive tasks are performed like high end gaming. 2. I felt that the device weighs a little too much. It may be that I have been recently using some light weight handsets of similar form factor that made me say this. Again this point is completely subjective and may vary from person to person. 3. The plastic material used to build the outer shell has a little cheap feel to it. One of my family member had an experience of poor customer service provided by micromax. If you are thinking of purchasing this product then I would recommend considering this factor as well. I took the risk as the product they are providing is of astounding quality and performs amazingly well at a very budget friendly rate. From the very beginning I was mentally prepared for the poor service that I would be getting from micromax once I start facing some issues (I hope it never happens:P).

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good phone, terrible customer service
*by P***A on 3 October 2014*

I got the phone and put a SIM on Friday and all worked great. On Saturday, I put the second SIM and the phone did not detect it. Worse, it stopped detecting the first SIM also. I called the Micromax customer service who advised to take it to the service center in Pune. He advised this could be a "dead on arrival" (DOA) case. This is a dreadful step for most customers. As I approached the service center, I was guessing how they would try to dodge me. The guy who hands over the token number for the queue checked the invoice and heard my problem and I mentioned to him that this is a DOA case. He said there is an audit going on, everybody is busy and I should come the next day. This was the first line of "defense". I insisted that I have to talk to someone inside because otherwise if I delay, then I will not be eligible for a replacement. He reluctantly let me in to a special counter. The customer representative here said that their systems are down and he cannot help me. On my asking when it is expected to be back up, he said he doesn't know, it could be a week! This was the second line of defense. I insisted to speak to his supervisor. His supervisor was on the phone and I waited for 15 mins. The supervisor said he does not have the "hologram" that he needs to handle DOA cases. The company (Micromax) hasn't sent him any. Imagine Micromax advertising on prime time television and its service center is not supported. The supervisor advised me take to another center in Pune. I thanked him and said I am returning this product to Amazon. As I was about to leave, he seemed to have a change of mind and said he will take a look at what's wrong. I then went in the inner office where his colleague tried to check out the phone. His microsim worked in both the slots of the phone. The problem seemed to be with my SIMs which were regular SIMs cut into microsim size by the neighbourhood shop. He advised me to get a microsim from the vendor and not use a cut sim. Eventually that worked and my phone recognizes both SIMs. It was my fault that I was using the cut SIM, but I couldn't have guessed it because the first cut SIM did work for a day. But if my phone was indeed a DOA case, then I would have been stuck. First moral of the story: Get a microsim and not cut your regular sim into microsim slot. Second moral of the story: Be prepared to be denied customer service. You could be left holding the bag (actually the phone). If only companies like Micromax solve their customers problems instead of treating them as problems, they could give a tough competition to bigger players like Samsung.
