Compact design with some premium niceties
+
The smartphone is built around a 4-inch display and thus is fairly compact compared to large-screen devices being launched these days. With such size, it snugly fits in your hands and there's no problem in single-hand usage. It also doesn't come across as too bulky, even though the thickness is on the higher side.

The camera is available just for the sake of it

The 3.2MP camera sensor at the back of MAXX MSD7 Smarty AXD21 didn't raise our hopes to begin with. But then, considering the asking price of the device, it's better than nothing.

Offers an unadulterated taste of KitKat
+
Gone are the days when manufacturers shipped their devices with just about any Android version. Even budget smartphones are highlighting the fact they run the latest build of Android these days. The Maxx AXD21 also follows the trend by offering 4.4 KitKat, with no alterations in terms of interface or functionality.

A fine performer with impressive standby time, but average talk time
+
One of the most important things for a device at such price points is its performance, since we expected it to be laggy. However the MAXX MSD7 Smarty doesn't display this problem as it's fuelled by a dual-core MediaTek MT6572 SoC clocked at 1GHz. Thanks to KitKat, the devices runs reasonable well even with 512MB of RAM. In basic usage such as navigating between different screens, opening and closing multiple apps, we didn't face any performance issues. Even while playing games, the smartphone handles the graphics well and things are smooth for the most part. However whenever you take power-ups in games like RipTide GP2 or SmashHit, you'll find noticeable jerks. We also played a 720p video which ran fine on the handset, although there was momentary lag when seeking to a certain point.
