Micromax A54 Smarty 3.5

Som Answers at last of reviewnCons :n1. Does not come bundled with a memory card. Most of the phone apps do not work without memory card (music,bluetooth,camera,etc) because U cannot save anything in phone memory as it is reserved for applications. So its half a phone without memory card.nSo Buy a memory card for around Rs 200.nn2. The specs show 256 MB RAM, but in reality it is only 168 MB RAM, out of which only 30 MB is available because the inbuilt apps like hookup, gmaps, etc take up most of the memory.nThese apps cannot be killed/uninstalled and start on their own.nn3. The battery drains up fast because apps are always running in the background.nn4. The meory card is not hot swappable. you have to switch the phone off and remove battery to put memory card.nn5. Heavy Games do not run on the phone and simply exit when run(TEMPLE RUN, SUBWAY SURFERS,etc).nn6. The accelerometer is only 3 way, so sensor games like PAPER PLANE do not work.nn7. EDGE/GPRS speed is lower as compared to other phones (No Idea why ?)nn8. The headset provided are the cheapest and worst Headset I've ever seen. Bought a new pair of headset (from flipkart) for around Rs 350. Sound is loud in loudspeaker but quality of sound is average in headset(as compared to a nokia or Sony phones )nn9. The charger is a USB charger which needs the USB data cable for charging.(micromax saved money here :P)nnProsn1. Touchscreen is much muchbetter than Nokia or Samsung in this price range(do not compare with Iphone :P)nn2. The phone does not lag or hang due to the 1 Ghz processornn3. The screen is Big,rich and colourful(looks like an I Phone :P).nn4. Small size games(less than 10 MB) like FRUIT NINJA, HILL CLIMB RACING work like charmnn5. 3G is Really very fast on phone and performs as it should.nn6. Many websites wrote that it does not have wifi hotspot. WRONG !!n It has both wifi hotspot as well as tethering feature inbuilt.nn7. The Camera is decent, clicks good photos and can be said to be a 3 MP camera (however is fixed focus)nn8. 640x480 videos play smoothly but not 720p videos.nn9. A Screen Guard is included in the box :DnnSo the phone costs more than 5000 in total. Hence it is a tank in which you have to put extra ammuntion to start it.nnAnswers to some comments.nThere is an app called kingsoft office to open/edit word,pdf,excel and ppt files of microsot.nYes Wifi hotspot/Tether is there in the phone.nGoogle talk, whats app are working.nFor installing the phone software Goto settings-->applications-->development-->click CDROM mode.nNow connect you phone to PC and U will get the Setup of micromax drivers as a removable drive. Install it from there.nU can use any dialer app(also in nokia pc suite by selecting android modem manually) on PC to create a dialup connectionnTo run Heavy games go into airplane mode and Then try. Surely works

I think this product is more efficient than the Ninja 2 or the superfone ninja a50 because the a54 has 1 GHz Qualcomm Scorpion Processor but the a56 has only 800 MHz Qualcomm Scorpion processor and size of the screen is also larger compared to a50 nThe Graphics of this device : Adreno , Battery type : Li-Ion, 1300 mAh - Stand by time of 170 hrs (2G) n So overall it's a budget phone loaded with features
