Design wise there is a refreshing change to the device and it comes with good quality finishing. The rear panel has a curved matte finish which gives a premium feel. There is also a gold finish around the device. The power and volume keys are the right side and the 3.5mm audio jack is on the top while the micro USB charging slot is at the bottom.
The rear panel houses the 8MP camera with flash, Micromax logo and also speaker located at the bottom. The front panel has the 4.7 inch qHD display, 2MP camera, usual set of sensors. The device has three capacitive touch buttons which have lollipop design.
The phone comes with a 4.7inch qHD display with 960 X 540 pixels and it is the same resolution as that of Moto E. The display looks decent, but the colors look a bit washed out and the viewing angles weren’t really impressive. The touch response was pretty good and the display also sports Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
The phone is powered by Quad Core MediaTek chipset with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. You get close to 5GB in the first boot. The phone runs Android 5.0 Lollipop and the UI is mostly stock and minimum changes from the company. The performance was decent and we didn’t experience any lag in the first use.
The device is priced Rs 4999 and available on Snapdeal. We will have the detailed review coming up on our blog soon, meanwhile do check out our YouTube channel for more videos on this device.
