This cellphone has anice 8 GB internal storage and an SD card slot, which allows the user to install a couple hundred apps and games without running out of space.

This cellphone counts with Wi-Fi connection (and it can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM services.

The Micromax A85 features two cameras, a 5 MP back side camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera.
