Well i had ordered this product about two weeks back and after some hiccups with the delivery process i received the product!! Now almost one week of rigorous use and i am ready to write a review:
Phone is BANG FOR THE BUCK !! Currently you wont get any other phone with so many features and almost no bloatwares for this price! Moto E is good , i don't deny that that but it lacks many important features that the Micromax has.( Front Camera, Apps movable to SD card e.t.c to name a few )
Pros:
--------
1) The quad-core processor does its job well, Games Like: Ashphalt 8, Dead Trigger2, Frontline Commando etc run on the HIGHEST SETTINGS( i repeat Highest Settings ) absolutely smooth. The touch response is also awesome.
2) There is no laag whatsoever while navigating through the menu.
3) Wifi Direct, Wifi Hotspot, WIfi Tethering, Bluetooth Tethering works absolutely fine.
4) After installing following Apps:
a) Facebook
b) Facebook messenger
c) Whatsapp
d) Team Viewer
e) Flashlight( A all that makes your camera flash as a torch )
f) Linkedin
g) Skype
h) Clean Master
i) Book My show
j) BS Player
k) Flipkart
l)PDA Net
m)Times Of india
n) Safari Book reader
And the following Games:
a) Ashphalt 8
b) Frontline Commando
c) Dead Trigger 2
d) Temple Run
e) Sky Force
I still have about:
-- 100 mb of internal space for app install.
-- 564 mb ( Total 965 mb ) of Ram free.
---------
5) Video calling with Skype and my Wifi was nice.. Picture quality of 2mp front camera is good.
6) 5mp back camera is ok. Sometimes lacks the clarity. But its faaar better than Moto E.
7) HD video recording is alright.
8) I use whatsapp, facebook , facebook messenger, Gmail and times of india all the time, after that the battery stays for about 18 hours.( Please don't expect this batterly life if you are using the phone for gaming )
9) Screen quality is good, there is no pixalation anywhere and 199ppi is according to me perfect for the screen size.
10) Phone plays 1080p and 720 p videos without any issue, if you are not getting sound with inbuilt android player for mkv files please use BS Plater free.
11) The google voice search can do wonders: Play you a song, Set a alarm for you, find a place for you, Search nearby hotels and show you the way,
all by just speaking to it and no typing.
Cons
------
Well guys( And girls) after getting so much from the phone in this price range its taking time for me to think the Cons.
1) It gets a little heated where the micromax logo is , on the back side when playing games for long of doing heavy wifi downloads. But nothing that makes it
unpleasant to use.
2) Camera could have been better.
3) While playing games or using video chat or wifi download, batterly gives about 7-9hours. ( This may get reduced in future as we keep using the phone,
but Micromax has given us a removable battery as well)
4) Sometimes face unlock does not recognises me.
5) No back covers still available in bangalore, only screen guards( not a con of course)
Thats All folks!!
----
N.B.: Those people who are complaining that there is less internal memory and not all apps can be moveable to SD card, please note that most of the apps
are moveable to SD card( INCLUDING Facebook, Whats App etc ) without rooting your device. Search in google/youtube " Move android apps to SD card without rooting "
and you will get the solution.
