Superb Phone @ Budget Price
By Haricharan Kumaraswamyon
First of all, I had been using MMX A52 Aisha Superphone for close to 3 months. I was very much comfortable using the same. But, when my wife's Nokia broke down, I gave her my MMX A52. I was on the lookout for a new phone. I wanted a bigger screen size and I was looking at various options in Samsung, HTC, MMX and Karbonn.
From the reviews available online (Igyaan.in, Gadetsportal, Geekayranjith etc.) and having already used MMX A52, I booked the A110.
As usual, it was express service from flipkart. Though, I had to pay a couple of bucks extra than other online retailers, I was very comfortable with flipkart's prompt on time service, where I buy books regularly. Booked it on 31st Oct late evening. I got the phone delivered on 3rd Nov afternoon.
Now over to the phone.........
My kind of use my A110:
Lots of Emails requiring typing everyday, 1 hr to 1.5 hrs - browsing the internet daily, 30-40 phone calls a day lasting 2 hrs, Very minimal to nil movie watching, Almost nil gaming
I will first start with the Cons first....
a. One big let down, is the non availability of ambient light sensor in this phone. My MMX A52 also had the same problem. As long as you are indoors, there is no problem at all. Once out, it is very difficult to see the phone in broad daylight and the brightness needs to be adjusted constantly. This is highly irritating.
b. Since the speaker is in the rear of the phone, the ringer volume is absolutely muffled when you keep the phone on its back. I missed some important client calls due to this!
d. There is no option for rebooting the phone. Once the phone is switched off, to switch it on, it takes time to get into the groove to release the power button in time. Else, pressing the power too much sets the phone to its default mode automatically and you lose all your default settings (Don't worry, all installed programs remain untouched).
e. After every restart, my default keyboard (Swype 1.3) changes automatically to android keyboard (But I feel the basic android keyboard is much better for larger phones as the A110 compared to Swype. But this cannot be an excuse). I am forced to change it manually every time. This was not the case with my MMX A52. Don't know, if it is a problem with Android 4.0.4 or MMX.
g. MMX should have provided a scratch guard for this phone considering the size of the screen. I don't see anywhere in print AGC Sodalite scratch resistant screen!
f. Pathetic earphones that has come with this phone. Compared to the A110s phones, my MMX A52 is far better!
Now the Pros..... :-)
a. 4.94" Screen Capacitive Touch screen is very vivid in displaying colours.
b. There are 3 capacitive touch sensitive physical buttons at the bottom which makes using the phone really easy
c. MMX has not tinkered anything at all with UI. One advantage that comes along with the 1 GHZ, Dual Core processor with an unaltered ICS UI is, the UI is super smooth and super fast. I have seen no lags what so ever.
d. Pinch to zoom is also very dependable and works most of the time without much of a lag.
e. The best part of this phone is the LED indicator. There are 3rd party apps that you can install to make the LED blink in different custom selected colours for a missed call, email received, sms received etc. The colours can be configured to specific email IDs, numbers etc. This helps me a lot during client meetings as I understand what has happened to my phone when it was put in the silent mode.
f. I am not a mobile phone camera buff. But, the front 0.3VGA as well as the 8.0MP rear (really do not know if it is so...) cameras serve my purpose when I use skype for official or personal calls
g. The default browser is good. It supports all basic functions. For people who require further enhancements, there is Firefox, Opera Mobile or the Chrome. Haven't tried any of them yet.
h. The internal storage is about 503MB. There is also an internal SD card with a storage capacity of 2.05GB. With apps like APP to SD, you can move almost all the apps installed in the internal storage (phone memory) to the internal SD card except for a very few apps such as launchers (I run GO Launcher EX). To me this is more than sufficient and I do not find any need for any additional external sd card for my kind of use on this phone.
Haven't run any game on this phone, so cannot comment on the performance. Run some 720p videos from youtube. They run smoothly. But no luck with 1080p videos. There is no video playback. This shows the lack of RAM (473MB).
But for normal application and usage, this phone is very impressive.
Also, the build quality and textured grip on the back panel adds up to the elegance of this device.
You get a definite look from envious people when you take it out. Many mistake it for an S3. "Neighbour's Envy - Owner's Pride" - Go for it, if you want a nice big phone with fantastic features at a budget price.
Gem of a phone - now rootable, supports OTG !!
By Sudhanwa Dindorkaron
My bro bought this phone from a local store as we were getting a better deal there (9800 rs).
Its been almost 2 weeks using this phone and it is absolutely a gem. The phone is very snappy - never encountered any lag.
The colors are also vivid - they do not appear washed out. WiFi performance is very good - never noticed any slowness. The speaker volume is ok - not too loud nor too low. The voice clarity is decent - no complaints yet. As with every Android phone, be prepared to charge your phone everyday if you use it a lot for browsing or reading as Screen and WiFi are the biggest battery hogs. However the 2000 mAh battery is quite sufficient.
There is no separate CD for drivers. As soon as you connect the phone to your PC in USB storage mode, a drive will open up with the drivers.
The white model looks gorgeous !!
Accessories:
No pouch is supplied with this phone. So I went to a local Samsung store and got a Note pouch that fits this phone well.
I got a screen guard for this phone and now the display looks amazing (hadn't removed the default screen plastic cover :) )
The supplied earphones are not good - the ears start paining after a while. So get a good earphone. The samsung galaxy series earphones work with this phone.
Now for stuff not much known:
1. Rooting for this phone is now available. So I immediately rooted this phone. With Titanium Backup, I removed the bloatware that Micromax supplies.
2. This phone supports USB OTG i.e USB on the go. Just get a USB OTG cable ( i got mine from ebay) and you can directly connect your pen-drive to your phone !! Awesome, isn't it ?
3. There is lots happening on xda for a110. So be sure to keep checking the xda forum. For e.g. there is already a hack which allows swapping internal and external storage thus providing more space for apps.
4. There is talk on the internet about micromax releasing a jelly bean update. Don't know how true that is but if it does release, then that would be fantastic !!
Cons
1. The first one (not really) is the low screen resolution. Ideally a 5 inch phone should have a higher resolution but no complaints since a110 offers so many features for such a low price.
2. I wish a110 had a magnetic sensor. Since this phone does not have a magnetic sensor, compass does not work.
I would definitely recommend this phone as it is worth every penny.
One Word: AWESOME...!!!
By KING KARTEEKon
Yes it is awesome.. No matter whatever someone says "about the RAM being only 512MB so it a disadvantage" Just ignore that crap.
So let me tell u it's the best android smart phone i have seen till date. 512 MB of RAM with a dual-core Mediatek 6577 processor powered with POWER VR Series 5 GPU is surely more than enough @ it's price.
The only thing u have to justify is between Multi-tasking & Heavy Multi-tasking, Either way its mobile & we are humans but not server's & computer's to do 100 tasks at the same time.
All other products by MMX may be below par but this is over the moon. I will certainly place my bet on a mobile that just beat out the sales of samsung/htc/nokia just by pre-booking itself.. Just imagine what would the final outcome be.??
You love it-Just go for it.......... I'm loving it..:) :)...!!!
Only one word "Incredible"!!!
By Samir Samejaon
First of all let me tell you I am writing this feedback from A110!!!
Its by far the best smartphone ever. Forget those pricy iPhones and galaxies
I ordered from Flipkart and they delivered super quickly.
About the phone...
Screen 10/10
I compared it with amoled of s3
Believe me guys the screen though less resolution is vibrant then s3. Don't ever believe anyone who says its pixelated.
Process & memory
Dual core is boon. The phone is super fluidic. Plays HD videos effortlessly. I have installed 350 mob of apps so far and no sign of slagness.
The ram 512 mb seems more than sufficient here. I didn't faced any difficulty running many apps together.
Battery
I am using this phone continuously on wifi 3g and don't feel its performance is lesser than most reputed brands.
Verdict
After buying this I became fan of MMX. Great job with this one. Surely it will give big ones run for the money.
I bet you wont regret on this one!
By Vinish Kumaron
I bought it recently and the features MMX is giving in 10K is amazing. Here are my findings:
1.Touch is quite smooth, though its not equivalent to S3 or Iphone, but I would say its 90% of that, still its quite impressive.
2. Battery Life: Battery is Amazing, There is not heating problem while charging(I have seen some review saying it gets heated while charging). Though it takes some time in charging but once fully charged, It will last for at least a day even on the massive usage of phone!
3. RAM is 512 MB, but you wont feel that until you play a demanding video game.
4. Screen colors reproduction is good, contrast is also amazing, I played 720P HD videos and compared with S2 and there is not much of a difference.Due to large screen its not as much vivid as S2 or S3 but trust me its amazing.
5.Camera: This is where I am not satisfied, should have been a bit better. not looking like an 8 MP camera :(
But, in 10 K its total worth of money.
I have recommended it to my friends.
