Karbonn A8 Review

Score: 44.4 / 100

Karbonn A8 is a mid level cellphone, having a 5 mega-pixels back side camera, a 4" screen and a powerful Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1 gigahertz. But it's time to get into more details.

Karbonn decided to design this cellphone using a great performance 1000 megahertz Dual-Core processing unit and 512 MB of RAM memory. This cellphone counts with a 4 GB internal storage memory, an average amount that should be enough for most users considering that the Karbonn A8 also has an SD card slot .

Karbonn offers the Karbonn A8 in two colors: black and white. Karbonn has made a really good design job making this cellphone weight just 4.23 ounces. The Karbonn A8 is slim and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.39 inches.

This device includes a nice 800 x 480 4 inches display, giving this device a detailed image quality.

This phone has wi-fi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices acting as a wireless router or modem) and 3G internet connection, supported by UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone comes with 2 SIM cards so it is able to use two different phone numbers or carriers in the same phone.

This device is only equipped with a 5 MP back camera. The camera also includes flash and auto-focus.

The Karbonn A8 uses a 1500 mAh medium capacity replaceable battery that can keep it running for some hours, but you may need to charge it even after moderate usage. Karbonn claims this phone has a 4 hs talk time and a 200 hs stand by time.

This cellphone also features a couple cool characteristics as Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Navigation and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Karbonn is offering this phone for $ 155, which is a very high price for this type of phone.
