Micromax A70 Review

Score: 37.2 / 100

Micromax A70 is a modest phone, including a medium sized 3.2-inches touch-screen, a fast 600 MHz processing unit, and 2 cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera.

This cellphone is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227 system chip, which holds a fast processor clocking at 600 megahertz. To help with graphic calculations, it also has an Adreno 200 GPU running at 128 megahertz.

The Micromax A70 is a little bit thick for today's standards, with its 0.53" thickness. This cellphone isn't a compact phone, taking into account that it is 4.37" long and 2.28 inches wide,but it just packs a 3.2 inches screen. This phone feels much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone like this.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera.

The Micromax A70 includes an average 480 x 320 3.2 inches display, which makes all pictures and videos look nice. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, but it's not multi-touch.

This phone comes with a mid sized 1450 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep it running for some hours, but you may need to charge it if you use it heavily. This phone has a reported talk time of 4 hours and a stand by time of 168 hours.

The Micromax A70 provides WiFi capability (but it can't be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast data connection, using HSDPA and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM carriers.
