User Reviews for Zen Ultrafone 701 HD

I have been using this phone for more than 2 weeks. First of all many thanks to Zen for offering this awesome budget smartphone to the smartphone lovers with all the latest specs you wanna have in your smartphone. nnZen Ultrafone 701HD has slight edge over its closest competitor, another popular Indian branded HD smartphone that stormed Indian market in 2013. I guess you understand which one I'm talking about. Zen Ultrafone 701HD not only cost 3-4k less than the other phone I mentioned above but also have a 3.2MP front camera which is just 2MP on the other phone and Ultrafone comes with some good quality free accessories including the flipcover and an extra rear panel within the box, which also not available with the other phone.nLet's get to the pros and cons one by one.nnPros:nn1> CPU: 1.2 GHz Quadcore MediaTech 6589 Processor, which is one of the best in recent times.nn2> GPU: PowerVR SGX 544, which can handle any graphic intensive games and supports 1080P(Full HD) video playback.nn3> RAM: 1GB, which makes the phone fast and it never hangs because it always has enough free RAM left so you can run many apps at a time. Internal memory is 4GB, in which .98GB is used for apps installation and 1.72GB is available as phone storage. External storage is expandable upto 32GB.nn4> The phone comes with an Apk Installer and also have "Preferred Install Location" option available, so you can install the apps and games directly to the sd card.n[P.S: the 4th point I mentioned above is an important one because in many smartphone including the high end ones don't have this option available and being unaware of that some users choose those phones which leave them stranded with limited internal memory and they can't install the large games or apps due to lack of space.]nn5> 5" IPS screen with HD(1280*720p) resolution and 16.7M color depth.nn6> Camera: both the front(3.2MP) and rear(8MP) camera is pretty good quality. 8MP rear camera comes with Autofocus and BSI Sensor.nn7> This phone can handle all the graphic intensive games like N.O.V.A 3, Asphalt 8 etc. due to its good hardware configuration. So it's another USP of this phone which might attract the highend gamers.nn8> The phone comes with good quality noise cancellation earphone, a premium quality flipcover and an extra white rear panel within the box. So after installing the flip cover you still have 2 spare rear panels.nn9> 3G+2G SIM slot, Wifi Hotspot tethering and a high speed internet surfing.nnCons:nn1> Speaker is not loud at all and sound quality could have been better. But you can't really complain for what you are getting in this price range.nnConclusion: If you are looking for an Indian branded decent quality budget HD smartphone, this is the best one. Let me tell you if you are eyeing for other popular Indian branded smartphones with an extra 3-4k, then it's not worth it. Because all the Indian brands are providing more or less the same hardware configuration and when it comes to after sales service, this is another area where Indian brands don't differ at all. So if you are concerned about the after sales service I'll recommend you to go for the non-Indian high end brands. But if you are not too nosy and prefer specs over brands, then you will love this phone.

This is the best value for money phone for this price, for around 8.5k you get the followingnn1. Quad core processor real fast. dual core processor phones look ancient compared to thisn2. HD screen , believe me the HD movies are really good on this screen to watchn3. 1 GB RAM hardly lags, very fast n4. Good 8MP camera with BSI Sensor, front 3MPn5. Full HD video recording and playback n6. Front Notification Light n7. Good battery back up for android standards, Lasts a day with single chargen8. SAR values is 0.7 maxn9. At least in Bangalore service centers are there, don't know about other placesn10. Extra back covers, one white and a black with flip cover, free screen guardn11. Good 5 inch display with good touch response nnSo what are you guy waiting for ? grab one, this is the best deal for this price !

As you can see the specification, it's like one of the high end phones spec. (like samsung S3). I am using S3, this zen hd 701 also can eligible to do the same work processes with this cheap price (Rs.9680). The screen clarity (nearly 280 dpi (samsung s3 is 330 dpi), bright screen and 1280X768), long time battery (compared to my samsung S3 mobile it's far far better backup), all applications install without trouble, very clear voice especially to viber, line and skype, good video support (like youtube, film apps) and good support to games (plz visit game review in youtube, all games very graphic games are running, but i have tested with temple run 2 only). big screen (5 inch). So I am fully satisfied with this phone in my hand. I was compared with Samsung S4, I got 80% of reproducible jobs in Zen hd. nnI forget to tell one point, photo clarity especially in night time it beat samsung S4 for better picture capturing, and now you can understand the quality of this product from other brands like micromax, karbonn, lava.nnIt is not familiar one currently, so most of the peoples not getting awareness with this phone. I tried and i got full satisfaction like my samsung S3.nn3 paper covers/flip covers are available within the packs (very very impressive news). After my purchased many of my friends impressed and asked me to order this.nnDrawbacks: (i) you need to buy one microsd memory card (may be 300 rupees) to save/install the apps/data. otherwise your RAM will be slow due to insufficient vacant.n(ii) customer service is not more (i think), (If you keep your mobile as safe then no probs)

Average phone, perfomance is not as per specification and expetation.nPrimary camera is 13 mp but result like 3.2 mp. very very poor result of primary camera, result is 2 out of 10.nsecondary camera result is 8 out of 10.

But in the box we get a booklet of service centres which are spread throughout the country.nnFor me i am extremely satisfied as it is cheap and i am able to play games like asphalt 8 without any sort of lags.
