User Reviews for Celkon A97i

best mobile for its price. i did a lot research before choosing this mobile .. it is equivalent and comparable to micromax canvas super phone a.. 2 model... and much better features than samsung and other branded mobiles within the range of 20k... i have been using the mobile since 15 days... plus.... 1) a 4.. inch screen with nice display colors .. good looking ...( in my view 5 inch and above display screen mobiles will be awkward to carry and use by regular use) 1) nice speed..... they say i Ghz but it actually seems to be 800..working quality 2) fantastic browsing experience.. no need to download all the nonse stuff ... special browsers the inbuilt browser is superb and working well .... ( im an extreme internet surfer gathering lot of scientific data.. and high animated web sites) 3) pinch to zoom is marvellous and works much better than branded samsng..g..tab 4) all apps works well... document viewer and pdf viewers and other heavy doc openers works well ... it is good for book lovers..those who love to keep books in mobile and read..but the only thing is you must download apps related to that in google play.. 5) GPS works well.. but a little bit slow ( funnily it shows the marker little away form the real road map.. but is ok works well i have tested it while moving 80kmph for 3 hrs) 6)voice action .. control of phone is excellent and works well...we can even browse the content ...surf.. internet well...by voice control ....( of course this application is present in all of such kind of mobiles but this is great that it is there in the mobile of 8k worth) 7) i rate it 5 because for its price... 8) within 7 k u will be having a good android mobile with all the advanced features in your hand and working well... negatives... 1) battery performace is little bit poor ( previously i used nokia mobile .. may be due to that i feel so..) i got 5 hrs backup while browsing.gaming , and gps usage..i think its good.. one might get 1 day for an average user with all the important apps like gmail, facebook, antivirus, running.... 2) camera quality ... they have printed as 8 megapixel!!! it seems to be 5 mp.. but the options in improving camera quality is good .... we can even select and adjust iso.. also.. one horrible thing is that i did not find any option to disable the camera shutter sound.. 3) takes much longer time to get full battery charge.. i still did not see the display battery full while charging in my 15 days of usage.. 4)BE CAREFULL!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT ADJUST BRIGHTNESS TO DIM/OFF COMPLETELY THIS OPTION MAY TAKE UR PHONE INTO A SITUATION THAT AFTER PRESSING LOCK BUTTON U WILL NEVER SEE DISPLAY AGAIN !!! BUT U FEEL TOUCH STILL WORKING!!! IN SUCH A CASE DONT BE PANIC ... SWITCH OFF THE MOBILE, REMOVE THE BATTERY ,, PRESS VOLUME ROCKER + BUTTER WHILE SWITHCHING ON THE MOBILE THIS WILL LEAD TO THE OPTIONS OF FACTORY RESET AND AFTER THAT UR PHONE WILL BE BACK BUT WITH ALL THE USER DATA FORMATTED.... ( IM GIVING THIS INFORMATION BECZ IT HAPPND TO ME AND MY FEW OTHER FREINDS WHO PURCHASED NON BRANDED SMART MOBILES). BUT DONT BE CONFUSED... THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GOOD MOBILE FOR AN AVERAGE MOBILE USER THOSE WHO WANTS TO ENJOY ALL THE ADVANCED FACILITIES WITHIN THE BUDGET OF 7K...ALL THE OPTIONS WORKING WELL...

Excellent, quality product. Suitable material for the money

well, if could have given a zero rating i would have. the phone was beautiful and looked promising. the trouble is the first time we ordered it, it had a battery life of barely a couple of hours. we asked for a replacement and flipkart promptly replaced it. the second phone was no better. in addition, its screen went blank in the first few hours of use....complete waste of money. since then the only function it has served is as a paperweight. i have always used nokia and never had problems. don't buy this phone at any cost.
