Summary:

The Dual SIM, Dual Core Wammy Note now comes with Jelly Bean OS. The features are the same as on the single core version. The price seems a bit high specially when it comes with 512MB RAM.

I have done a review on the single core Wammy note and now the dual core Wammy note is available along with Jelly Bean update. There are some performance improvement with the JB update, check out this review to find out.

Since I have already covered the Wammy Note single core, I will be skipping some of the features like the camera sample images and 720p video which you can find on Wammy Note review (single core). The only difference between single core and this new Wammy note is the dual core processor and Jelly Bean OS.

The box pack content is the same – the handset, 2x 2500 mAh battery, charger, earphones, user guide and micro USB to USB cable.

What’s new in the Wammy note?
It’s with MTK6577 Dual Core @ 1.0GHz with PowerVR SGX531 GPU. Unfortunately the RAM and the internal storage are the same as on the single core version i.e. 512MB RAM and 4GB internal storage. All other features are the same. There is dual SIM, 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, GPS with A-GPS, Bluetooth, micro USB port and 3.5mm jack.

The touchscreen is 5 inches with resolution 800×480 pixels. There is 8MP rear auto focus camera and front 1.3MP camera with video call support. SAR value is 0.495 W/kg.

  • 121MB RAM free of the 512MB.
  • 402 MB space for app installation of the 503 MB.
  • Internal storage space is 1.95GB.

Performance
Jelly Bean OS does seem to have improved the performance. Here are the Benchmark scores.

  • Quadrant Benchmark Score : 2935.
  • Antutu Benchmark Score : 6353.
  • Nenamakr2 Score : 22.2 fps.
  • Linpack Score : Single : 40 | Multi thread : 63.
  • Multi Touch : 5 point

Battery
You get two battery pack each of 2500 mAh capacity. On a full charger the handset will easily last for a full day.

Wammy Note dual core review
A good handset with good built, closely resembles the Samsung Galaxy S3. The price is on a higher side, even with the Jelly Bean toping, a 1GB RAM could have made a difference.

Hi Gogi,
I am a fan of your website and video reviews. I have added your website to my favorites along with engadget, gizmodo, theverge etc. Me and my friends appreciate your work and find it extremely helpful.

One quick question. I believe this is the only phone currently available running Jelly Bean on mediatek 6577. Can you also confirm? I know other companies have advertised that their phones are Jelly Bean upgradable. But wanted to confirm if there are any other Jelly Bean Phones with a screen size greater than 4.5 inch that I can order today?

Thanks

No don’t think so, but I guess everyone is waiting to launch quad core with Jelly Bean.

Hi Mr. Gogi,

First of all thanks posting your reviews of the products…I have recently followed it and it is very helpful as it helps in buying products which are only available online.

I want to buy good touch phone and have few questions
a. Which one is better A110 or Wammy dual core note?
b. I followed your comments for preference of A110 over previous Wammy note as it was single core. But now they have launched dual core, it’s rating has been reduced to 3 from 4. What is the reason?

Also, I am also planning to buy a tablet with 7″inch calling feature with less than 10K…Please suggest good tablet
Wammy Ethos Android 4.0 Tab 3G or Zync 99 or Micromax funbook or any other suggestions…

Awaiting for your reply…
thanks

Gogi,
This phone seems good with excellent benchmarks and jelly bean os.
But is 121 MB free RAM hindering just basic usage or running not so heavy apps on the phone?
Also, can we play games like asphalt 7 which can be easily played on A110?
Thanks in advance.

Reply

gogi December 21, 2012 at 3:35 pm

Sukrit, yes you can play the games as on A110 – same hardware.

Reply

Sukrit December 23, 2012 at 1:35 pm

My doubt about phone’s performance is cleared now.
But I am wondering now why we (readers at gogi.in) were looking for 1GB RAM phones if games like Asphalt 7 could be played with about 120 MB free RAM on same hardware on Jelly Bean Phones.
(Or RAM management in JB is good that when we play games, JB withdraws resources from it’s butter project?)

Yash, not exactly a laptop, but looks like tab with keyboard attachment. Though looks like you cannot separate the keyboard – the assembly looks like a laptop.

Two very big disappointments :
a) Only 512mb ram.
b) Logo on the back side( I simply hate it)

Still my Micromax A110 is a clear winner :D

UD December 19, 2012 at 4:16 pm

Hi gogi, don’t you think they should provides 1gb ram for since it has jellybean.

Reply

gogi December 19, 2012 at 9:19 pm

Jelly Bean works perfectly fine but for the price 1GB would have been better.
