LG Optimus A Review

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 09:48 PM PDT

LG Optimus A is a touchbar mobile phone which has been put into the market by LG mobiles. Through this device, LG have strengthened their Optimus family. This model comes with a list of impressive features which fair pretty well in the price range that this phone falls in.

The 3.2 inch TFT display screen which this device boasts offers a resolution count of 320×480 pixels. It also comes with features like accelerometer, digital compass and gyro sensor. The 3.2 MP camera which is fitted on the rear side comes with features such as digital zoom, video recording, smile detection and beauty shot. This camera works better than Samsung Star 3G. Through the microSD card slot, users can expand the external memory by up to 32GB.Internet can be browsed through options such as GPRS, EDGE and Wifi facility. LG Optimus A runs on the Android 2.2 version which is upgradeable to 2.3 version. A 1500mAh battery has been fitted in with this model which provides a talk time of about 12 hours. Social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter have been made available on this phone as well. Other features offered are document viewer, Bluetooth and FM radio.

There are a few points which could have been worked upon to polish this model. Firstly, the 600MHz ARM 11 processor is a little inferior to that of HTC Desire. Even the music player which supports formats like MIDI, WAV, AAC and AMR doesn't do a great job at offering a rich audio experience. Thus LG Optimus A makes for a good device but with a few grey areas.

 

Micromax X485 Review

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 09:43 PM PDT

Micromax mobiles have come out with a swivel form factor device which is known as Micromax X485. This phone is a dual SIM mobile phone which also comes with the dual standby facility. X485 is a model which is available for a really affordable price that easily fits into the pocket of the common man.

Micromax X485 comes with a display screen which is non touch in nature and offers TFT display colours. The keypad which is embedded with alphanumeric keys has got a better key placement than phones like Nokia 2323 and Intex IN 2020. Most phones in this price range do not offer a 1.3 MP camera like this mobile phone does. This camera is capable of features like digital zoom, video recording, night vision and a resolution count of 1280×1204 pixels. With this device, one gets to use the 32MB of internal memory space along with up to 8GB of external storage which can be expanded through the microSD card slot which has been also made available. FM radio and MP3 music player are the options which constitute the sound department of Micromax X485.

The specifications offered by this device make it do complete justice to the price tag at which it has been tagged. But there are still a few drawbacks which can be associated with it. Firstly the screen resolution provided by it is lower than even Fly B405. Even the audio quality isn't as good as one would expect. Thus Micromax X485 boils down to be a phone which is worth the price but comes with ordinary features.

There comes a 1.8 inch TFT display screen which offers a resolution count of 320×240 pixels. The keypad of the phone is embedded with well spaced out keys which are more convenient to use than the keypad of Samsung Champ. Internal memory storage space offered is quite less therefore V.Do Rock comes with a microSD card slot through which users can expand the external memory space by up to 8GB.The 1000mAh battery which has been offered by this model lets the users enjoy a talk time of about 5 hours which is far superior to Karbonn K3 which provides below expected talk time. As far as the internet connectivity is concerned, this device offers WAP browser as well as GPRS support. Bluetooth and USB port take care of the data transferring options. Additional features which can be used on Intex IN 2030E V.Do rock are torch light, mobile tracker and multi language support.

The music options on this phone include of wireless FM radio along with MP3 music player. But the sound quality isn't as good as one would expect at this price range. Even the 1.3 MP camera which offers digital zoom and video recording features fails to provide enough image clarity. Due to these features, Intex IN 2030E V.Do Rock settles down at being an ordinary phone.
