Firstly, I really request Flipkart to create one more option to read only "certified buyers" review which are actually helpful to people interested in purchase. Otherwise, Flipkart reviews has become a platform for marketing products and negating others. nNow, I received my Andi 4.5h today and after a usage of around 8 hours, I write this UNBIASED review only to help others like me purchase. nI really was confused b/w A110 and this one so I went to quite a few stores to get a hands on feeling. Couldn't find Andi anywhere, only found A110 (after some struggle) and just didn't like the feel of it because the resolution didn't attract me, was actually looking too big! Not everyone can attain a finish like Samsung! I was playing with front and rear camera and all of a sudden it said something like, "camera unexpectedly stopped working, please restart". I peacefully kept it back. Because I had no confusion! I knew I will not buy this! nAfter checking a few Youtube videos, I finalized Andi 4.5h. Just for information, I earlier used Sony X10i and broke it recently, so wanted to make sure I buy a cheap phone to decrease loss next time I break this. LOL. Just Kidding. Peace. nNow, about Andi 4.5 nPros: n1. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L screen and resolution. My wife was surprised for I got my phone so cheap and matched her phone (S3) in looks. 4.75/5 in looks. n2. Absolutely No lags. I intentionally downloaded some high end phones, no lags whatsoever. 4.5/5 n3. Video Call. Made a nice video call. 3/5n4. Camera - At Par. 3.75/5n5. 3G and Wifi are much to relief and effective. 4/5 n6. Video Player (I downloaded MX Player). Youtube videos play with extreme ease and in my case no buffering (probably because of high speed net) but my X10i lagged. 4/5nnCons:n1. Battery: It HEATED up within 10 minutes of playing a high end game! Yeps. It drains like crazy when you keep 3G on and play games. 2.5/5 nOne word of caution: Every phone within this budget and these many features (except Blackberry) has exactly the same problem with battery. If you want a nice battery. You have to go for bigger brands, which reduce cost on other features. n2. Still can't find a cover for this online. nnMy Opinion: I am HAPPY with the phone, would have been probably jumping and typing had the battery not disappointed. Dude, within this price tag this is not an excellent but the BEST buy only because of its qhd screen and 1 GB Ram. After all that's what matters right. nBTW: I even liked XOLO 800 but it had only 512 mb RAM? :( nnThird person opinion: On Canvas2 nWow! You have an S3? nC2 Owner: I know its fantastic but its Micromax! nTP: What? Can I have a look. After looking at display, feel of hand. Yeah man its Micromax only. n* In my opinion, the most imp. reason why C2 is selling like a hot cake (especially white) because it look like S3. nnThird person opinion: On Andi 4.5 nBeautiful phone man. nAndi Owner: Yeah man. Its pretty fast too with 1 GB Ram?nTP: How much? nAndi Owner: 1 GB with qhd and price of 12K nTP: What? Can I have a look? nTP: Dude, this phone look pretty sleek and nice for its price. But I hear chinese phones has high SAR value?nAndi Owner: Yeah, usually. But this phone has significantly low SAR value. BTW even my SE X10i say "Made is China" nTP: You got a pretty good deal man. Where did you buy it from?nAndi: FLIPKART :)
CAMERA - awesome 12 mp camera with autofocus and mind blowing when you set your own settings.The led is not that fantastic but who cares. Front camera is fine for 2 mp.nnRAM it gives u 900 mb of ram and my mobile never hanged since i bought it on AUG 17.nnBATTERY 2200 mAh battery lasts really long for me and i have used my phone for about a day and half (dropping it from 84% to 15%).When u use it for really long, its temperature willl rise somewhat.nnDon't expect too much of the internal memory. only about 1 gb is user available and it won't do any good if u want to play games with big data.(But u can store game data on ur sd card if u root ur mobile)nnI don't know how but i get 3g speed in 2g internet packs andit shows H+ instead of E which is definitely good.(this is for the sim in slot 1 only)nnWIDI i have ot yet used the wireless display connectivity featurennThe screen response is FANTABULOUSnnBeing an iit student , i keep my wifi on for half of the day and it never complains.nnSound is not very high quality(which i had expected from iBall). Also u will have to buy yourselves a new headphone or earphone if u wanna listen to music most of the time.nnVIDEO it plays HD (1280*720) videos very well and the inbuilt video player has the ability to trim videos which i find very useful.nnSLEEK and COMFORTABLE. its very easy to hold this 5 inch phone in ur hand due to its design and sleekness.The Gsensor is fine as always and u will get a headache if u keep on the light sensor bcoz it is very much sensitive to light.nnGAMES I played DEAD TRIGGER , VECTOR and temple run 2 on this phone.The quadcore never disappointed me and ram is sufficient for most games to work. I am only disappointed in the internal memory which doesn't allow u to play games like NOVA 3 , MODERN COMBAT 4,etc (without root).nnTHERE IS LOTS OF PRE-LOADED STUFF BUT ITS OUTDATED SO U WILL HAVE TO UPGRADE IT.nnAfter 20 days of my experience with this phone, i will say that it's a fantastic phone.I STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT IF U WANNA BUY A PHONE WITH ALL FEATURES AT THIS PRICE.
