Gaming
I tried Asphalt 8, though the game seemed playable, there was some issue. The graphics specially the background were missing, I got the same result in every mode (very low to high) (check video review). I then tried real racing 3 game that played really well, game was smooth and I did not found any issues related to the graphics.
Camera
There is an 8MP AF camera on the rear with LED flash and it can shoot 720p videos. Front camera is a 5MP shooter that also comes with front LED flash. Though this smartphone can record 720p videos it can easily play FHD videos.
Camera quality is okay, picture appeared washed out, probably Infocus might fixed that with software updates. Check the Sample below.

Others
Sound is loud and clear, no issues with network performance. In-call sound was also pretty good. 4G, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth worked well.
Battery
The 2300 mAh removable battery does a good job, you can expect 3 to 6 hours of continuous moderate to heavy usage.
Battery Performance
- Running Benchmark app – 15 minutes / battery % dropped by 5 / battery temp = 38 degrees.
- Played Real Racing 3 – for 12 minutes / battery dropped by 6% / battery temp = 42 degrees.
- Watched FHD video with full brightness (WiFi /4G on) – for 29 minutes / battery dropped by 8% / battery temp was 35 degrees.
- Handset charging (wall charge) 2 hours 58 minutes from 26% to 100% using 5V / 2A charger. Estimated charge time from 0% to 100% – under 3 hours 30 minutes.
Verdict
The Infocus Bingo 21 is a smart looking handset, that surely will turn heads. It however is Spreadtrum quad core powered that does a decent job, screen size / resolution is also low but colour reproduction is good. Camera is okay (can be improved). Battery backup is pretty good.
Infocus Bingo 21 is available for ₹5,499 on Snapdeal.

super review.thank you
can i use infocus M530 battery instead of to M430 battery ….
This is a Good Android phone. BUT some problems like when I watching a movie itit’s battery Temperature 45° C. And device is very hot. It is good Android phone but always heat. Heat is a major problem in this phone.
It is waste of money and do not purchase. It is not for calling. Speaker is very low. Your ear will be ringing. I just threw it to dustbin. I have ordered from snapdeal and they said we cannot do refund and the product is not under Trust pay. So, beware of purchasing any electronic product which is non branded from Snapdeal. You will get it fast, but cannot return back.

Intex cloud flash with 5inch super amoled HD display with front and rear corning gorilla glass available for just 6999/- on snap deal, its a great device for the price I think.
Why would we buy that when Coolpad Note 3 Lite with 3 gigs ram and finger print sensor available for same price?
Super-Amole(d) and camera
You forgot its intex.
Right! All Intex phones have worst camera. Zoom a little the captured image(forget zoom at the time of capture) and u can see curly lines as the details. I dont think Intex was ever reviewed by Gogi bro due to its known limitation.
Because intex have large service network .one time free screen replacement .
2gb ram + octacore soc + 16gb internal + 13/5mp camera @6999/- ..super amoled display too, what else you expect ?
Since you have bought Intex phone, I wish you all the best for your purchase. Let the good luck be with you.
Intex themselves don’t know how many handsets they have launched till date.
AFAIK, intex don’t have their own dedicated service centers, all service centers are All Under One Roof, i.e. Intex, Lava, Iball, Maxx, and so on. I’d hope you never get to see them.
Gogi, please tell Intex cloud flash or infocus bingo ?
I have to buy one…need your verdict !
Also which has more brand value Intex or Infocus ??
I have orderd an intex cloud flash today from SD because I really like its display after watching its video review on YouTube. I also got 5% cash back offer from hdfc bank, so net price comes around 6.6k. I really feel its a great deal anyway let’s wait for the delivery.
plzz confirm me the quality of the intex mobile when you received.
Bro intex cloud flash is really very good mobile…we should buy this inplace of infocus, coolpad, xiaomi….
What about durability and service support ?
If u really want durable and service support company then go with Samsung they never give u cloud flash like mobile in this price.They priced at 20k and up
Are you serious? Intex is a rebrander, and all others you mentoned are manufacturers. Yu may not even know from where intex gets those handsets and what is the quality of them.
Bro i m talking about cloud flash mobile only. I kw xiaomi infocus r well known manufacturer. Cloud flash mobile have gd specifications in low cost budget.
