iBall Andi 4.5q review
Display – The 4.5 inch screen supports qHD resolution of 960×540 pixels. Touch is as smooth and responsive as found on other handsets. Viewing angle is good.
CPU + GPU – The 4.5q comes with 1GHz Cortex A9 dual core processor (MT6577) with PowerVR SGX 531 GPU. It’s the same hardware that powers the iBall 4.5h, Micromax A110, Lava Iris 501 and many other handsets.
OS, Memory and storage – This handset runs on the Android Jelly Bean OS which works pretty smooth even on a 512MB RAM. Of the 512MB RAM you get around 200 MB free. There is built in 4GB of internal storage of which 1.3GB (free) is available for apps and another 1GB as internal storage. Micro SD slot can further add up to 32GB card.
Connectivity – There is 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS with A-GPS support. USB / Bluetooth tethering and Wi-Fi Hotspot are supported. No issues with GPS lock.
Performance – The CPU/GPU is well known, needs no introduction. The benchmark scores are as follows:-
- Quadrant Benchmark: 2746.
- Antutu Benchmark: 6471.
- Nenamark 2: 24.0 fps.
- Linpack : Single 38, Multi 58.
- Multi Touch: 5 point.
This handset can easily play many HD games as seen on other MT6577 handsets.
Camera – There is an 8MP rear camera with LED which can shoot videos in 720p resolution. You can check out the sample images at the end of the article. The interface is the same as seen on other handsets, however there is a new option called effects that works in video mode. Check the review video to find out more. Camera /video quality is good.
Battery – The battery is of a good 2050 mAh capacity. It should easily last for a day of moderate usage.
Others – The in-call speaker and loudspeaker output is clear and loud. There are 3 sensors namely the proximity, light and G-sensor.
Verdict – It’s a good dual core, dual SIM handset, powerful with premium look and good features however the price seems a bit high for the Jelly bean OS running on a 512MB RAM. A price of under Rs. 10K could have made it a good buy especially when Karbonn S1 quad core is priced at 10,990.

Can you plz tell me whether i should go for iball andi 4.5h or 4.5q? does 512 mb ram sufficient for android jelly bean.
iball 4.5h does not have gps and 4.5q does not have 1 gB ram.
i m interested in 4.5q. wht should i do? pls tell me
@Prasad:
i preffer 4.5h coz your phone has ability to keep lots of application. And if many applications are working together then you need higher ram(i.e. 1 GB). One more thing many of the good graphic games not working with 512.
Best of luck
I have 4.5h and it has gps. Ram is the main thing in smart phones. Other wise there is lots of apps in market but cannot use them unless have good ram memeory.
Can you plz tell me whether i should go for iball andi 4.5h or 4.5q? Its urgent… So be quick…
Gogi sir will you reply to me…its my 1st comment.i’m confuse between this 2 phones…
@Puspam, as you know 4.5q has 512 ram and 4.5h has 1 gb of ram so why you confused. I dont know if any other difference.. ok 4.5Q has jelly beens and 4.5h has ics.. any ways i will preffer 4.5h for its performance with 1Gb of ram…
Hello,
I liked this mobile very much
but the problem is the ram
is 512mb enough for big n heavy usage of apps n games
does the phone lag in between?
PLZ REPLY SOON
i want 2 buy this phone soon
Thank you
I will personally not suggest any smartphone with 512 ram.. go with 1 GB..
How do you think Swipe MTVvolt stand for 15 k range and how is service and quality of Swipe telecom in INdia ?
Hi Gogi,
I would really appreciate your feedback on the 4.7 inch model from NXG . I started with beyond B63 then went up to iball andi…I wanted to buy a 4.5 inch phone not 5 inch as I find it just too big for single hand use.( I had MMX CANVAS BEFORE) this is the reason I could not go for canvas HD. I thought 4.5 would be better to hold…check out this NXG PHONE and please let me know your thoughts..your opinion matters….
Anurag

Hello Gogi,
Can i use andi 4.5q’s battery in 4.5h as they both look similar but 4.5h has a lower battery power ?.
Even i have the same question. Can I use 4.5q battery in 4.5h..
4.5h battery is very less just 1600mAH and it charges very slow. plus if we play games or download or use internet on it while charging it charges like 1% per hour. as the charger is very slow. I tried charging directly from PC still its very slow.

What is the price of the product ?
I tried finding it 2nd time in the article but could now. Either you have missed it or my mind is very tired.
Hi the box at the end with the 3 star rating, next to it the price.
Thanks for letting me know.
Though I would advice to please have the price in the article itself if possible.
Does it supports Google Earth & HD games like Contract Killer…Frontline commander…
I am not sure about 720p video becoz Samsung Galaxy S duos can’t play it thn how can this device play ?
Sandeep check the video review 720p videos work on this handset. As for games I am not sure as each game is unpredictable. But since its the same hardware games that run on A110 will run on this too.
Where is the price?
Local stores are selling it for Rs. 11,500. Online stores not yet available.
