Karbonn A10 Review

Score: 44.5 / 100

Karbonn A10 is a little bit outdated Android cellphone, including a Dual-Core CPU speeding at 1 GHz, a 4-inches capacitive touch-screen, and two cameras, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this device offers to us.

This phone is powered by a fast 1 GHz Dual-Core CPU, included in the MediaTek MT6577 system chip and 512 MB RAM. This cellphone has a mediocre 524,29 MB internal storage memory, which could be enough for basic users considering that it also has a slot for an external memory card to store photos and videos.

This phone is available in 2 colors, black and white. This phone feels much lighter than what you would expect from a cellphone this size. This cellphone is slim and comfortable, but it's not close to being one of the thinnest cellphones out there, with a thickness of 0.4".

The Karbonn A10 has two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera. This camera also counts with a couple of interesting features like auto-focus, flash and geo tagging.

This phone has a interesting 4-inches display with a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes it hard to see the pixels composing the display. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This cellphone packs a good 1400 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing this cellphone with a below average battery life. According to Karbonn, the Karbonn A10 has a reported stand by time of 168 hours and a talk time of 5 hours.

The Karbonn A10 offers wifi connection (which can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast internet connection, using HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone has dual sim cards so it can to work with two different carriers or phone numbers.

This cellphone also features a handful of cool features like Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Geolocation and FM Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is not cheap at all considering it is offerred for $ 155, while some similar cellphones can be found for much less money.
