Phone Review - Micromax Andro


Yesterday,i had the opportunity to get my hands on Andro - the new phone from Micromax. With the price tag if INR 6800, it is the cheapest 3G Touchscreen Android available in the market.

At first look,Andro looks a big bulky phone,with a good big touch screen. Its quite bulky for sure. Its the form factor that gives it a minus point. The screen is quite responsive,much more responsive than Dell's XCD28. The menu keys are good,responsive and neatly seperated.

The menu displays crisply on the touch screen. The phone does not need any kind of stylus for regular usage. Stylus is provided only for phones where touch sensitivity is low. Browsing through men otions was like a walk in the park.

Andro runs on the outdated Android 2.1 upgrade 1, and can be upgraded to 2.8(as a local cellphone dealer claimed). Anyways,it'd be ugradable to 2.2, and even 2.2 seems fairly okay. But i'd rather say that such an old Android might have some support drawbacks.

Andro seems to be a decent hone. All seems good with Andro, that is till when you do not take a look at the other Android phones available.

Considering everything, i'm giving Andro 3 out of 5 for being the cheapest usable Android available.

Do you think the same, or have a different opinion? Feel free to pour in your comments
