Verico Uni Shape 5V3 Expert Review Summary

Expert Rating:

6.0/5

Verdict

Given the price at which the Shape 5 V3 comes at, there are better options available in the market. The Verico Shape 5 V3 stands nowhere in front of rivals like the Xiaomi Redmi 2 (review) and the Lenovo A6000 (review) which give us better screens, processors and batteries - all at a lower price. The YU Yureka (review) is another good option if shelling out a little extra doesn`t hurt you and you are  okay with the larger screen size. The YU Yureka, which is priced at Rs 8,999, features a 5.5-inch, 720 x 1,280 display, powered by 1.5GHz processor alongside 2GB RAM, 13-megapixel rear camer... Read Full Verdict

Given the price at which the Shape 5 V3 comes at, there are better options available in the market. The Verico Shape 5 V3 stands nowhere in front of rivals like the Xiaomi Redmi 2 (review) and the Lenovo A6000 (review) which give us better screens, processors and batteries - all at a lower price. The YU Yureka (review) is another good option if shelling out a little extra doesn`t hurt you and you are  okay with the larger screen size. The YU Yureka, which is priced at Rs 8,999, features a 5.5-inch, 720 x 1,280 display, powered by 1.5GHz processor alongside 2GB RAM, 13-megapixel rear camera and a planned upgrade to Android Lollipop. While all these three devices are 4G enabled, the Verico Shape 5 V3 sticks with 3G. The inclusion of a rear touch panel may be something new in the Indian market (at least at this budget) but in terms of ease of use, it is far behind what the company claims. Verico will need to work on equipping its future devices with better specifications and pricing if it wants to make a stand in India`s fiercely competitive budget smartphone category.

    Pros

  • Decent performance
  • Q-touch back panel
  • Battery lasts a day

    Cons

  • Older Android version
  • Mediocre camera performance
  • Overpriced

A body that's all plastic +
Pixelated display +

The device gets a 5-inch display with a resolution of  960 x 540 pixels, summing up the pixel density to 220ppi. The viewing angles and brightness are apt and enough for decent sunlight readability. We did see some visible pixelation due to its lower pixel density... as visible in the image above. The touch response of the display is good, and is at par with devices in the same price range. Unfortunately, the display lacks any protective coating and is prone to scratches.

The smartphone is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6582 processor which is clubbed with 1GB of RAM. Out of 4GB, the Shape 5 V3 has close to 2GB of available space for loading applications and personal content. The storage can also be expanded by using a microSD slot upto 32GB. The device uses a Mali-400 GPU, and doesn't display any lag or stutters while playing graphics-heavy games. The dual-SIM device has support for dual standby with the help of a pair of standard sized SIMs. For connectivity, it has the regular options such as 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a micro-USB 2.0 port. Sending a 35MB file using Bluetooth from the HTC Desire Eye to this device took approximately seven minutes. On the software front, the device runs the outdated Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, and that is a major bone of contention. The interface is stock Android, without any pre-loaded content. We're still waiting to hear from Verico about future updates.
