User Reviews for Micromax X291

Purchased the phone as a backup as my primary phone is being repaired. Got the delivery from flipkart in 2 days which was great. This is my 5th purchase from flipkart and first for Cash-On-Delevery. Overall packaging and service from flipkart was great.nnRegarding the phone :nnPros:n1)Good looking phone n2)Price - you get full feature phone with dual SIM, 1.3M camera, music and video player, radio, torch, large screen etc for just Rs 1800n3)Used a 8GB microsd card and the phone was auto-detected and connected to my PC seamlessly.n4)Loudspeaker is reasonably loud and LED torch is also quite bright.nnCons :n1) Menu/Interface not very intuitive. Nokia/Samsung phones have better menu organisation and navigation.n2) Limited phone memory, extra microsd card is required.n3) Default ringtones and wallpapers are poor.nnSome other observations:n- I am a first time micromax user, hence can't comment on product durability. Although the phone feel premium, will have to wait and see how long it lasts.nnOverall the phone features are unmatched at the price point of 2K (1800 + 250 for 8GB card)

I got this phone today within 24 hrs of ordering. Thanks again to Flipkart for the ligtning fast delivery.nnAbout the phone, its a decent good looking phone under 2K budget. It has all the feature which you expect from a 1800 rupees phone. The screen is big but display is like ordinary nokia phone only. Sound quality is good compared to the price and with earphone its even better. The white colour makes it look elegant. Lightweight and keypads are comfortably big. Dual sim, LED Torch and FM makes it a deal in the price range. nnIf you are looking for a backup phone which you can keep and use anytime, go for it. But if you want a primary phone with higher budget and feature heavy gadget with all the feature in excelent quality, then it may not be your choice. Camera is pretty ordinary, but thats understandable. You can use your own wallpaper etc and customize but no themes. nnOverall, a good value for money phone.

Really Guys...The phone looks is gr8.But u cannot trust the Software build quality in phone.I am still facing so many issues after bought this phone.n1> Menu Navigation Problem always.n2> Sound Quality is very Poor.Also camera is worse than VGA.n3> Keypad problem, means some time its automatically dial any number.n4> The back light keeps remain on for quite long time even when i keep it for 5 sec setting.n5> Medium resolution walls are not supported. n6> call clarity is not good. u can not hear other party in little noise environment.n7> Signal problem always.n8> Always get hanged automatically.after restart it works for 1-2 hrs, then again hanged.n9> very very very low phone memory..only 45KB.But u can add external memory card.but because of low memory its performance is very very poor.n10> Can not surf, download & Java file not supported.nnAt last i can say,do not go for it.This phone is not really a value for money.Every one will impress with the feature & price of this phone.But it really sucks.Just go for other than Micromax like Nokia,Samsung etc in this price, I will surely say that u guys will never regret.

Some pros and cons....npros:n1)has a decent lookn2)music quality is goodn3)battery life is also goodnncons:n1)poor camera qualityn2)you cannot scroll down by pressing "scroll down" key, you'll have to keep on pressing the key again and again.... for example if u have 200 songs and wanna play 100th song u'll have to press the scroll key 100 times to reach the 100th song....you cannot even type the name of song u wanna play.n3)it takes around 10 sec to turn on the bluetooth.n4)video cannot be played in full screen mode.n5)Songs are listed by the order you add them.."sort by" option is present, but it is of no use, even if u select "sort by: name" songs are sorted randomly..there is no other way to sort songs alphabetically.n6)images cannot be zoomed.n7) silent profile can be activated by pressing # key,,but the worst part is that it cannot be customized,, so you will not be able to turn on vibration(by default it has no vibration).if u want a silent profile with vibrator then u'll have to customize other profile,, due to this pressing # becomes useless as it switches between silent nd previously selected profile.

nice looks, good music quality and external speaker, 3.5mm audio jack, nice screen, battery backup is good. At this price I don't have any complaints - just for the review you can't create playlist-instead u can add a folder to the audio player. can't watch video in fullscreen mode, for 1.3 MP camera quality is ok with good lighting.nI bought this as a temp phone for my friend. I am sure he will stick to it much longer than he initially thought.
