Karbonn Titanium S5

First of all this phone comes with jellybean OS, thats it, you cannot upgrade the same after that, yes its not upgradable.nnSecond. after using this phone for couple of days, i found that suddenly network in both the sim card vanishes every hour, so i have to switch off and on the phone to get back the network to use data and voice service, you have to constantly remove phone from your pocket and see whether network is there or not, so that you dont miss any important calls or messages.nnI have requested flipkart to replace the phone at the earliest, lets see what happens next, i would suggest not to go for cheap androids but to prefer better phones by paying a little more.nnNo issues with flipkart, as usual i receive my product delivered well before time.nnAmit

I had been closely following the Karbonn Titanium S5 since its launch. The specs looked too good to be true for the price being quoted and no retailer had the actual handset; there weren't even online reviews on YouTube!!! So it was pretty much a gamble when I went ahead and ordered this phone on Flipkart. Flipkart lived up to its reputation and delivered the box to my door well within 2 days!nnLooks :nThe phone looks absolutely beautiful. Looks like a slightly bigger, thinner version of Samsung Galaxy S3 without the metal band around the edges. Feels very premium in your hands. The only flip-side is that the shiny surfaces are highly prone to fingerprints. You might want to get a pouch or cover.nnSpecs :nnThe scores should do the talking all by themselves! :-)nThe stock version of Android Jelly Bean is an absolute delight to use given the kind of specs the phone boasts!nnCamera and Media :nThe 8MP primary camera performs very well as a point and shooter. The video recording also is nothing to complain about. Haven't really used the front facing camera as of yet except to click a few test images which turned out satisfactory for 2MP.nMedia play back is quite smooth, even HD videos from YouTube played quite well. The speaker output is actually a big letdown considering that fact that the Indian phones typically tend to have the loudest loudspeakers! nnGaming and Browsing : nI am not a huge gamer. The normal games like Temple Run which are benchmarks for testing phone performance run very well without glitches. Internet browsing, navigation, pinch zoom and all the regular operations work seamlessly.nnOverall I am very happy with my phone given the fact that I seem to be getting almost everything I can think of for around 12K. Being a person who changes phones every year, this works out to be a truly good buy for me!nn+++++++++++++++++++nNOTE : Review after a month of use :n+++++++++++++++++++nEverything that i said still holds true but I have encountered a MAJOR problem. The phone drops the mobile network every so often. And the problem sort of aggravates over time. Initially in the first week of use. Once I saw the "Mobile Network not available" message. I quickly restarted the phone and forgot about it. In the last week. Before every single call, I have had to restart the phone. Today morning, I have restarted the phone 4 times already, I still don't have a mobile network on this smart phone. Ultimately, the phone is for calling and this phone has failed me miserably.nnI am really sorry my earlier review confused people and probably helped them choose this phone. So let me rectify the mistake. This phone is not worth it. As a phone, buy a Nokia phone for 2K to get better "phone" performance.nnVERDICT : Do NOT BUY THIS PHONE!
