First thing I would like to say is I am not relying on any review or specs on the internet. Second is I am not biased towards any of the 2 phones A100(Micromax) Or A18(Karbonn) as I am myself confused on which one to buy. Ok now let's startnSpent 10 mins on both phones and this what I found.nn1) A100 has a display that is bigger, brighter and has better color reproduction. But A18 has a really touch responsive/snappy/butter-smooth and accurate display, it literally gives the iphone a run for its money. nn2)RAM is 512MB on both the devices, but when all the apps are closed the RAM stats are A100 (155MB used and 225MB free) and A18(220MB used and 240MB free).nn3)Battery A100 has 2000 mAH and A18 has 1500 mAH and as far as I know IPS LCD(A18) consumes more power than TFT(A100).nn4)Internal memory free for the user is 1.4GB(A100) and 2.05(A18)nn5)Some other differences that I found are A18(bluetooth version4) A100(bluetooth version3). Front facing camera 0.3MP(A100) and 1.3MP(A18). A magnetic sensor in A18 which is not present in A100 (somebody please clarify WTH is this magnetic sensor).Android versions (A18-4.0.3) & (A100-4.0.4). Built-in apps.nnFinally the prices in Pune Telephone shoppe are (A18-9k) and (A100-9.5k) (I hope flipkart does not delete this review :|).
HinI bought this mobile yesterday , not from flipkart . nI found these things which may be useful to others .nRam is 512 not 1gb ,(nowhere in box label they said 1gb )nProcessor is mkt6575 single core ,nGpu is powervr sgx531 ,plays angry birds smoothly (far better than adreno 200 ) nAwesome screen !!nSpeaker audio quality is good but not loud .nOverall audio quality is good !!!neven though there is 2 mic for stereo audio recording ,it does use it . hope that will be rectified in updates .nCamera is average , records 720p video but low quality and amr audio , there is no burst mode , it has panorama mode , face detection etc..nIt plays 720p but with skipped frames , it lags sometimes ..
