AFFORDABLE MICROMAX A75 SUPERFONE LITE

Micromax is on a roll with Android Smartphones these days. Their latest offering is the A75 Superfone lite.


This is Micromax's first phone running Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The Micromax A70 was a Froyo running phone which was promised a Gingerbread update about six months ago is still making us wait. The A75 is basically the update to the A70. The phone is billed as being in the Superfone series but it lacks the dual core processor that the A85 possesses.


The basis specs are a 650 mhz processor, a 3.7 inch Capacitive touchscreen with 320x480 pixels resolution, 3g, WIFI, Bluetooth 3.0, a 3 MegaPixel camera with LED flash. For juice it relies on a 1300 MAH battery.

PRICE: This one will cost you Rs. 8990.


MY TAKE on this phone is that despite some positives like Android 2.3 Gingerbread and the huge 3.7 inch screen, it has noticeable cons like the slow 650 mhz processor and insufficient 1300 MAH battery.

MICROMAX ANDROID DUAL CORE SUPERFONE A85

Micromax has been dipping its feet in the smartphone market as of late with several android phones. The first was the low end A60 which is available at only Rs. 4280. The second midrange device was the A70 which sells for Rs. 7400. Both of these phones were fairly profitable to Micromax.

But now Micromax has taken a huge leap right into the premium smartphone market with the A85. The phone is being billed as a superfone. Lets see what it has to offer specs-wise:-

SCREEN: 3.8 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with multitouch support and 480 by 800 pixels resolution

AUDIO JACK: standard 3.5 mm jack

MEMORY: 8 GB internal memory which is expandable upto 32 GB, 512 MB RAM

CONNECTIVITY: GPRS, 3G, WIFI, USB and Bluetooth

OPERATING SYSTEM: Android 2.2 Froyo

CAMERA: 5 Megapixel Autofocus camera with HD video recording and secondary VGA camera for video talking

PROCESSOR: NVIDIA Tegra
1 Ghz dual core processor

GPU: GEFORCE

Additional features include an FM radio, AGPS, an HTML browser with Flash and an office document viewer.
The Superfone also has Gesture control which means you can use your phone just by waving a hand across it and not having to actually touch it. You can control most of the phone's features by gesture control.
The Spotlight however is on its dual core 1 Ghz processor. This is the cheapest dual core phone available in the Indian market priced at Rs. 19,500. The Samsung Galaxy R is the closest dual core phone to the price with a price tag of 22,900.
This is a good effort by Micromax and the phone is definitely worth buying. What do you think of this phone ? Let me know in the comments below.
