Karbonn A5i Review

Score: 40.9 / 100

Karbonn A5i is an outdated Android phone, with a 3.5-inches multi touch display, a 3 MP back-facing camera and a good performance 1 GHz processing unit. Let's take a better sight of what this phone can give us.

Karbonn decided to equip the Karbonn A5i using a good performance CPU running at 1 GHz with 512 MB of RAM memory. This cellphone counts with a 524,29 MB internal memory, a low amount that may be enough for some basic users considering it also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store songs, photographs and videos.

Although this phone is as big as 4.69 inches long, it only packs a smaller 3.5 inches display. This phone is a bit thick for current standards, being as thick as 0.52". Karbonn is offering the Karbonn A5i in color black.

This phone only features a 3 MP back-facing camera.

Karbonn equipped this phone with a interesting 3.5" display, and a 480 x 320 resolution, giving this phone a nice graphical experience.

The Karbonn A5i features WiFi connectivity (although it can't share it with other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot) and 3G connection type, over EDGE technologies. This cellphone comes with two SIM cards so it's able to use 2 different carriers or phone numbers in the same cellphone.

The Karbonn A5i also features a few interesting features like Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Geolocation and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone comes with a 1420 mAh mid capacity battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. Karbonn claims this phone has a talk time of 4 hs and a stand by time of 100 hours.

This cellphone is very expensive considering it is offerred for 155 dollars, while some similar phones are sold for much less than that.
