Karbonn A1 Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 35.6 / 100

Karbonn A1 is a low end phone, which counts with a 3.2 megapixels back side camera and a small 2.8-inches capacitive display. We will get a better understanding of this phone's wonders when we get into more details.

Collaborating with graphic calculations, it also counts with an ARM Mali-400 MP1 graphics processing unit running at 320 megahertz. This cellphone comes with an average 4 GB internal storage memory, which is enough for the vast majority of users knowing that this cellphone also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store songs, pictures and videos.

The Karbonn A1 isn't really a compact cellphone, given that it is 4.2 inches long and 2.33" wide,but it only holds a 2.8" display. This cellphone is a little bit thick compared to today's phones, being as thick as 0.55 inches. This phone is only available in color black. Karbonn didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 3.7 ounces phone.

This phone is equipped with an average 320 x 240 (QVGA) 2.8" display, giving this device a good image quality. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.

The Karbonn A1 offers wi-fi capability (which it can provide to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM networks.

This phone only has a 3.2 mega-pixels back side camera.

This phone comes with a mediocre 1100 mAh battery that provides this cellphone a quite short battery life. Karbonn afirms this phone has a stand by time of 250 hours and a talk time of 4.2 hs.

Karbonn is selling this cellphone for $ 249, which is a really high price for comparing with similar devices.
