Karbonn A1+ (plus) is an upgraded version of the Karbonn A1. The A1 plus is a dual SIM Android 2.3.6 phone with 3MP camera, 2G connectivity and powered by a 1GHz processor. The handset comes for an attractive price of Rs. 4,250 cheaper than the Ninja 3.
When compared with Ninja 3 the Karbonn A1+ features are almost identical. Now why is the A1+ cheaper than A57? Well because there is no 3G support only EDGE / GPRS is supported. And since the handset supports only the 2G network you can use EDGE / GPRS from any of the 2 SIM slot. Moreover the A1+ also competes with the Micromax Smarty A25.
Design, Processor, OS and Memory
The box pack does look attractive. It contains the handset, battery, earphones (cheap ones as usual), USB to Micro USB cable, Battery charger, User manual and warranty card. The SAR level mention on the box pack is 0.663 watt/kg.
The handset has got a pretty decent look with 3 touch sensitive buttons at the bottom. The capacitive touchscreen display is of 3.5 inches, same as on the Ninja 3 with a resolution of 480×320 pixels.
The handset is powered by a 1GHz processor (Spreadtrum SP6820A 1GHz) the GPU is Mali 300. The A1+ runs on Android 2.3.6 OS and the RAM is 256MB (105MB used and 126MB Free).
The handset is smaller in size but not as small as the Micromax A25. The screen is 3.5 inches the side are with colour combination glossy white / silver. The rear side is glossy white. The handset does look bulky and is not at all slim. The built quality is good, looks sturdy.
Connectivity
Only 2G networks are supported, so if you are heavily dependent on the net, you should seriously avoid this phone, unless you have no issues surfing over a 2G network. There is Wi-Fi with hotspot support, a micro USB port that again can be used for sharing net (Tethering), Bluetooth and 3.5mm audio jack. There is no built in GPS.
3MP Camera
The camera is 3 megapixel fixed focus with video recording in VGA mode. There is front facing VGA camera that can be used for video calling via skype using Wi-Fi.
Performance
Expect the Karbonn A1+ to perform as well as the Ninja 3. The memory I guess will be low so you need proper management to get the most out of it. It’ a low cost device, don’t expect too much out of it and this is especially not for heavy gamers.
Marathon Battery
A 1500 mAh battery powers this phone. The mAh capacity is a little more (100) than on Ninja 3. The handset will easily last for over a day of heavy usage.
Review
I handset is good for users who will be downloading limited apps and games. I find the Micromax A25 much better than the A1+. The Hardware on A1+ is SP6820A with mail 300 GPU (1 core) which not so powerful.
The handset could not install quadrant and antutu and many more commonly used benchmarking tools, the reason – the app is not compatible with the version even though it runs on Android 2.3.6. Gingerbread OS.
Games
I could install Angry birds game but it lagged at that too in the initial stage. I could install Temple run but it failed to run, the screen would just freeze. I think there will be compatibility issues with other apps and games.
Movies/Sound
The sound is loud and good quality. I could not play AVI files, MP4 files did play. This handset cannot play high quality media files, you will need to convert to suitable resolution.
There is Gsensor, proximity and light. I lost interest in this handset as soon as I saw that the benchmark apps are not compatible. Overall a very disappointing handset, Micromax A25 is much better.

[poll id=”14″]
i am using this phone since 1.5 yrs, nowadays, it always asks for force close while opening some apps like fb messanger, gallery, play store, etc. google service framework gets always unexpectedly stopped, i hav reset this to get the solution but the same problem is repeated hate, is there any solution?
this phone is very good compare with galaxy,micromax bolt,and some phones,after rooting this phone run on high speed i like this phone very much it runs templerun1,2,oz and subway surfers without lagging its very useful for me after using chainfire 3d app it requires root
……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The Karbonn A1+ is a horrible mobile to buy. Those consumers who are looking for a budget phone, kindly do not go in for any Karbonn products as they have very bad after sales service as well.
Please pay a little more and buy a Samsung or Nokia. Much more better than Karbonn. Infact even Micromax is a better option compared to Karbonn as they do provide a fair customer service.
gogi sir , does it have gps ?
could you please anyone tell me which android mobile is better under 4000? what about iball andi 3.5i ?
max,
Pay a little more and go for Samsung or Micromax if you want an android. If you go for Karbonn A1+ you will regret it. Kindly take this word of advice as a caution because I did the same mistake going in for a budget phone and it is nothing but a complete headache.
Hope this helps you in your purchase
Rgds
what is the program you used to see the GPU
Install Quadrant benchmark, then go to system settings, or you can also use Antutu benchmark.
it is good mobile under 4000 rs it support, angry birds, raging thunder 2 (lag),some low grafic game.yes slow internet experience.

Today i was reciecve the karbonn smart mobile A1+. And i use the phone but in this phone many software is missing voice and many so plz send me a missing software nd demo on mobile.
Hey sheetal, you better download software’s from (umnet.com) for karbonn a1+, but before download check you android version!
Sagar, im also using A1+ and i can’t able to get a high speed of 15-20 kbps on reliance (never). in reliance it gives of about 3-6 kbps and in night 9-12 kbps. After turn auto sync off. Have you any other trick to increase the speed then please replay me.
Hi vikas,
I never used any tricks to get 15-20 kbps net speed. It depends own your area and network coverage. Try using any other operators sim which have a good network coverage in ur area.
Ram, when u receive any data from any mobile.
after Bluetooth is ON
Do 1 thing that go to settings>wireless and networks>bluetooth setting>discoverable(on).
then u cn easily received any data.
Vikas, already i did it[discoverable ON]. But i can’t receive any data from other mobile:
Hi vikas,
Insert a micro SD card before trying Bluetooth transfer. because u need enough memory to receive the file.
Anil Patel
pl go and buy karbunn A 1+
Hai i’ve brought karbon a1 plus mobile. It’s nice mobile. But i’ve one problem in the mobile. My mobile Bluetooth can’t receive files from other mobiles but i can sent file to other mobiles. Please help me: waiting for your reply
Plz insert a memory card before receive a file from Bluetooth.
Its a decent phone at this price. Internal storage and ram is sufficient for beginners of androids. Camera quality can be improved by camera 360 app. It clicks decent pics at average light also. I was only tensed about the net speed. pages were not opening in my uc but opera solved that and it also doesn’t consume more ram. average download speed I got is 10-11 kbps in uninor and 15-20 in vodafone.
Ya it takes too long to charge but if you are in urgency and take our the charger after 1 hour charging it will run nice after restarting. Temple run lags in my phone. But raging thunder works fine if data access is off. Its a 5 star rating cell according to the price.
Rohit, I can’t able to get a high speed in any sim like Vodafone, reliance, docomo. I’m just getting 10-12 kbps, 6-8 kbps, 10-12 kbps respectively. Have you any trick to increase the speed. Then please reply me.
hey Rohit,
I recently bought this karbonn A 1+ . and I am not being able to use the net facility ….actually I dont know how to use these smart phones and all…so pls guide me…. I am having uninor number….internet speed is damn slow….pls help….are there any settings to be done or something? ..pls help….
You should on data access by opening notifications without activating it you cannot use net remember to turn it off when you are not using net, will save battery.

Anybody have idea about xolo a700…..how is it..? Croma told me it is the brand of karbonn itself….
No its from Lava.
Big confusion after looking all comment. Plese suggest me which mobile I should buy. Micromax a25, micromax a44, karbonn a1 plus.
Hi Gogi sir, can A1+ emulate ps1 game?
which is good micromax a25 smarty or karbonn a1+…
1)Please tell in terms of apps first
2)then in terms of camera
please reply soon…
1. In terms of apps both running android 2.3 gingerbread. So there is no difference in the number of apps the phones support.
2. A25 has only a 1.3 Megapixel camera and it doesn’t have a front camera. While karbonn A1+ have a 3.2 Megapixel rear camera and 0.3 megapixel front camera.
Other differences are:
1. In A1+ u’ll get a bigger 3.5 inch screen. A25 has a 2.8 inch screen
2. A1+ have higher display resolution (320×480). A25’s display resolution is 240×320.
3. A1+ has 170MB of internal memory while A25 has 120MB.
4. A25 has 256MB of RAM while A1+ has 200MB only. Some times this become important (i think thats why Gogi suggesting to buy a25).
In my opinion A1+ >>> A25
all other stuff’s are same : both of the phones have 1Ghz processor, Wifi, 3.5mm headset jack etc.
can ram be increased by using some application or some other way?
Ya surely, u can do partition of ur sd card and use the partition as virtual ram.
please reply
No. You cant increase the RAM capacity.

As the user manual just mentioned that this facility is available, but doesn’t mentioned ‘how to activate?’ or the process. Can you please help me to do this.
Thanks & Regards,
Nilesh
Nilesh, by default the handset should have automatically created the settings. Just tap the top screen and drag you will see some icons tap on data and then choose the SIM that you want to use for data. It should work.
Sorry nilesh but you have to do manual setting for internet as per required for your phone and karbonn every phone, you have to manually set the network in the phone like i have done on my.

Hi yes you can and you will get better sound output from them.
I recently bought karbonn A1+!! when i took out the external SD card, i could not find any way to save apps in the internal memory!!! or simply.. what is the process to save apps in internal memory if I don’t have an external card there!!! when i connect it through data cable to the pc USB mass storage function is not highlighted by default!!! please help me anybody!!!
According to me the karbonn a1+ has no internal memory.
Karbonn A1+ has 170MB internal memory. U can select ‘internal memory’ option while installing an app. Internal memory wont show on computers when u connect it to a pc or lap.
Does this phone support youtube video?
Gogi, plz check the app installation(especially skype) again and update your view.
Sandhu, I do not have the handset now but if you want to use skype you need to use the WiFi connectivity.
Can anybody having this phone confirm if the in call volume of this handset is a little low as compared to other handsets? I have one and I feel its a little quite.
Yes, compared to other handset the call volume it bit low.
Gogi, can you please let me know of an android smartphone under 5k. please suggest a phone that is good and not having major issues. Thanks
How about a ninja 3?
Sir if you don’t mind will u please upload a video relating to games, mp3 and video playing!!

Difficult will be slow and not that smooth.
Plz, explain the GPU & CPU what is it, the difference? Thank you.
Dear gogi sir,

I want to buy karbonn A1+ but after read the above story and all comments. I am confuse. And “star cj alive” (home shopping channel like homeshop18) shows karbonn A1+ give 5mbps accelerated net speed because it have 1ghz processor. I saw many times. How is it possible without 3G?
Uttam, this is 2G phone not possible to get very high net speed. Star cj alive the presenters have no clue what they are saying even the script writers too.
Hi good morning, please tell me if live wallpapers are supported on this mobile? Thank you in ADVANCE.
Yes it will work but better go for Micromax A25 instead of this one.
Hi gogi, nice review. I wanna ask that what are other options in under 5000 price range, android’s the basic need.
thanks
Hardy check this http://www.gogi.in/top-7-android-smartphones.html
I have noticed that A1+ does not have a 3.5 mm jack. Does that mean that i won’t be able to use hands free while driving ???
Ajaya, it does have a 3.5 mm jack, no manufacturer can afford to miss this as of today.
You can definitively use hands free.
Dear Gogi,
1.Does Karbonn A1 run high-end games like GTA 3, frontline commando etc.,
2.How is the battery charge and the battery ??? People say it takes long time to charge???
3.How is the camera and the front camera for video calling???
Could u show some light on this….
I am new to android world…
THnxs in advance…
Gopinath, this is a basic phone and you are asking for too much Micromax A25 is better than A1+. But again its a simple low cost phone with good features do not expect too much out of it.
Hi gopinath,
Answers to ur questions are :
1. No. You cant play high end games on this mobile. The reason is simple it only have 200MB RAM which is not sufficient for high end games. And it doesn’t have a great GPU required for those kinda games. In my opinion while considering its price, you don’t need to ask this question.
2. It has an average battery life (1500mAh). You can use cover a whole day with single charging. It is true that it takes too long to charge. U need at least 6 hours to completely charge ur A1+. I leave the phone charging in whole night.
3.Rear camera has an average quality that can be expected from a phone in this price group. Pictures are good for viewing in phone. You can capture videos upto CIF resolution (352×288) @16 fps. Video quality is below average. The front camera is really good. It is very clear and less noisy in outdoors.
Android world is awesome and this is the most suitable phone for beginners like you
Have you any idea when mmx a65 smarty will launch and its expected price?
Karbonn a1+ is a superb phone. It’s a best buy for that price range. I bought one from ebay for Rs-3848/-. and it is awesome. Gogi, you said that it doesn’t support bench marking s/w. But I bench-marked it with AnTutu benchmark and it worked like a charm. It got a score above 2100, which is higher than, Samsung galaxy Ace’s benchmarking score(1520). It has 1GHz processor and 200MB RAM, from which you’ll get atmost 100MB available. It has 204MB of internal storage and the user will get about 170MB free. I installed, Temple Run, Angry birds, Trial Xtreem2, Cut the ropes, Home run battle 3D etc games on my A1+ and all of them worked perfectly.
I didn’t even dreamed that Temple run will work in it, But it worked flawlessly. But some times you need to kill some background applications or restart ur phone to play Temple run smoothly. It lacks 3G, but I think that it won’t be a problem because people who can’t buy a mobile above Rs-5000 can also be not able to afford 3G. In EDGE it provides descent speed. If you turn the auto sync off, then you’ll get noticeably faster browsing speeds. I got about 20 KB/s – 25 KB/s download speed constantly on my reliance network.
You cant expect exceptional camera quality from a mobile in this price group, Camera is average but it took nice snaps in good lighting conditions. I say, the front camera is very good, if you are at outdoors. It has a very good design and looking trendy… but the power button feels like little cheap and not sturdy.
Like other Karbonn mobile phones, A1+ is also have a speaker with high volume, but the sound quality is average, but I can say that you wont miss a call even though it is inside the pocket of your jean. What I can say now is that I just loved this phone. Karbonn keep doing good work like this. If you are seeking for a mobile phone below Rs-4000 or even Rs-5000 go and get it right now. If u have any doubts or queries contact me through my mail.
Thanks 🙂
Thanks Sagar, but strange it did not work for me. If you check the videos you will find it shows not compatible. Don’t know why. I tested it with another handset got the same results. Probably Karbonn must have updated the OS recently.
As per your comments, does the new version or the updated OS on A1+ does install all apps from play store. or u been experiencing same issue as earlier device?
Nilesh, not sure but some users are saying the apps are working, hard to say anything but there is a risk.
Is this mobile good for call quality and battery backup with music an video. As I am not too fond of installing too many apps on mobile & I too don’t play games.
Yes they have updated their os i recently bought a1+ the notification bar and some icons in your video is quite different from yours and also angry birds, fruit ninja, ninja chicken like games are working very fine.
I confirmed it on xda as on new os Z4root is also not working i tried rooting my device but nothing happened.
Sagar can I play motion game on this phone.
Hi Debasish, u can play motion games in this phone, as mentioned earlier home run battle 3d and trial xtreem 2 are games that using motion sensor.
Hi,
I never agree to this.I bought this mobile on oct 22.While buying this mobile they told me like it will support 3G.after some days i.e 29-oct-12 I went to karbonn service centre and explained about this problem. The ****** of karbonn service centre(PALLAVI(***** ******),Marthahalli) told me like it needed reinstall application.
ONCE THE APPLICATION GOT REINSTALLED it will support 3G also. So, I submitted my mobile to them. They told me to get my mobile with in 3days. I called them so many times.They use to tell its ready, application got installed. Its working fine. But when I approach them they told me it is in ndiranagar(banglore). Somebody has to go there to get it, it took 10 days for those *******. Finally I got irritated I went to indiranagar service centre.
There also I had bad experience with those *******. Even they din’t start installation. They started when I reached there. That time I have only 20 min of time to reach office. But they told it will take 30min min. If application not successfully installed they need to reinstall. So,even 30 min is not sure. After some time that bloody ****** manager disconnected in middle of the s/w installation he told me like TATA DOCOMMO IS NOT SUPPORTING ANY SMART MOBILES. AND also told me like my mobile will work like a new mobile even it is disconnected in middle of installation. Then I took my mobile without checking due to emergency. BUT AFTER THAT TILL NOW ITS NOT GETTING SWITCHED ON. NOW I SUBMIT MY MOBILE TO UNIVERCELL CORNER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. AGAIN NOW THEY ARE TOOK 10 DAYS. TILL NOW I have not got my MOBILE.
I BOUGHT MY MOBILE on EMI’S. TILL NOW I didn’t PAY EVEN ONE INSTALLMENT, HARDLY WITHIN 1 MONTH I USED MY MOBILE FOR 10 DAYS REMAINING 20 DAYS THAT MOBILE IS THERE WITH SERVICE CENTRE *******.
SO.VIEWERS ITS NOT FAKE. I AM SUGGESTING YOU TO DON’T GO FOR KARBONN. SUCH A WORST SERVICE CENTRE THAN ANY OTHER MOBILES. PEOPLE ARE NOT WORKING THERE. THEY ARE *******.
EVEN THIS MOBILE CAM NOT GOOD
BATTERY BACKUP NOT GOOD.
TAKING TOO MUCH TIME TO RECHARGE
SOUND QUALITY NOT GOOD
NET FACILITY NOT GOOD
FINALLY I WANT YOU NOT TO BUY THIS MOBILE.
PLZ……..THINK B4 YOU BUY KARBONN.
BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE THEIR TAGLINE IS CUSTOMER WILL BE A ****** ONCE HE CHOOSE THAT BRAND.
hi vinaybalaji,
I never used karbonn’s service center before. It may be worst. I think the main problem in ur case is that you thought, A1+ is a 3G phone and u bought it. So it must a great disappointment for u. Actually it is not a 3G phone and u can’t get it by updating the phone software because it lacks a 3G receiver. And please rate this phone while considering its price range. I agree with one of your point’ It takes too much time to charge’. that is true. And what I usually do is plug my mobile phone when i am going to sleep 🙂
Hi sagar can you upload video for benchmark and game review of karbonn a1 plus. What is your email id ?
Thank you Sagar. Your email id ….?
Hi pavan,
my mail id is :
uvsagar@ymail.com
I came to heard that in the karbon A1+ The phone display looks bluish.Like, when u watch videos or else Browsing net.
Hi Tinku,
i watched movies and browsed internet on my Karbonn A1+ but never noticed bluishness in it’s display. There in no noticeable problems for its display. It got an ambient light sensor which will adjust the display brightness according to the environment.
Does it play youtube videos ? And does it have 3.5 mm audio jack?
Hi patel, It plays youtube videos. But I think probably you need to connect to a wifi network to watch youtube videos flawlessly, because A!1+ doesn’t have 3G. Yeah it has a 3.5mm audio jack. You can spot it on the top of the phone.
I am having this karbonn A 1+. and I jst can not operate this phone….to open a single window its taking hours and hours…is the net speed that slow…or there has some setting to be done….it gets hanged many a times …I don’t know y?…i have recently bought it….it gets switched off apne aap….m jst not being able to use it…pls help me… ( especially with net settings so that its gets speedy)..and whatsapp mai many a times it fails to show my status …no1 gets my msgs on whatsapp…what to do?.help pls….

Sir my karbonn a1+ does not support any apps even whats app or angry birds.
Hi Rohit, I bought the A1+ recently and was able to install angry birds from google play. Are you trying to install it via google play for through an apk file?
Hi rohit, I cant understand what u r saying. WhatsApp is pre installed in karbonn A1+. and you can install angry birds from google play.
Hey Gogi, I am buying this phone. How can I download apps and games? can you show me the steps? plz.
Hi gogi, can you give a brief advise on Aimax Neosky 3d dual sim phone is it good or bad? thanks.
This phone have edge or not bcoz I am not getting speed in internet.
Rohit it does support edge, do you get the E symbol on the phone signal bar?
Hi gogi where can I get apps for a1+ am going to buy this mobiles do you have any option for me.
You need to download it from Google play.
Which one should I choose? micromax smarty a25, micromax ninja 3, or karbonn a1plus.

Chirag, yes you can take self photos.

Hi all, I got karbonn a one plus, facebook and other apps are not working, says network connection not available, but through browser, everything else is working
Please help me on this.
@ googi — I want to know
1) What is the difference between android 2.3 , 2.3.6,2.1(eclair) and 2.2(froyo).
2) Which phone will be better if I wanted to buy a android phone around Rs 3500-4500. videocon zeus , krbn a1+ or any handset you will prefer me at this cost
Subham,
1) These are older version of android as the OS upgrades with new features a new version / name is given.
2) Go for Micromax A25 which looks better for now not yet sure of Videocon.
@gogi please suggest me a1+ or a5 or any other?/
Suresh go with Karbonn A5.
Karbonn a1+ is multitouch or not
Yes it is 2 point.
Can I play motion game in A1 plus
Yes some games, may be but I doubt if it will work.
and what about A5 does it runs?
Yes on Karbonn A5 you can run many games.
Dude, please do your homework properly before posting. AVI files do play on this phone. you have to install MX player for these to work. That’s the beauty of Android. So many options.
Hi Gogi
If I have wifi installed at my home, what is the performance of karbonn A1lpus for that?, and how is the sound call quality?
Today getting this for 3649/-, is the price right?
Thanks neeraj
Neeraj, Wi-Fi works perfect, if you will not be installing any / many apps then A1+ is good or go for Micromax Smarty A25.
Gogi,please tell me which is the best mobile company in india.micromax or karbonn? with respect to (1)battery back up (2)hardware quality (3)waranty period service(4)customer responce.
As far as service I guess both are same. They outsource it, if you are lucky there could be a really good service center in your area. But anyway incase you require service approach both service center and also call micromax to keep them updated.
Quality wise its 50:50 some handsets of Karbonn look good and some on Micromax, it all depends on the model you choose.
Gogi thanks for your advice.Please tell me Micromax a110 or karbonn a21?(for buy in Dipavali)
Happy Dipavali.-
Rohit
A110 I would say, wait for tomorrow though will update the battery performance. I think still time for dipavali :-).
Gogi please review lava N350.
Golgi there is one problem in your review that you have mentioned that it contains GPS but it lacks of it ,please rectify it.actually I am a current user of galaxy y and I am pretty satisfied from it but my father bought karbonn A1+ and I want to know that whether karbonn A1+ is superior or galaxy y. And one thing more that whether I able to play ends shift and pes 2012 on karbonn A1+ or not.
There is no GPS but you can get the location using the tower tracking method, that is not so accurate. A1+ is low end phone don’t expect too much from it, especially not for games. Also I found compatibility issue on the phone, Micromax smarty A25 is much better than this.
Dear Gogi,
plz suggest me the best future upgradable mobile under 15k with gud camera,
in-ear music quality and big screen>=3.7” with gud resolution.
Hi gogi, i need to know 1 thing, can we make video calls using skype on 2G on phone? u have written that we can make video calls using wi-fi, isnt that possible on 2G, just using phone’s internet?
Skype video call is possible only when you have a really good broadband connection. Assuming you have broadband connection via Wi-Fi, in that case you can use Wi-Fi. If not then you need a 3G option. 2G is very, very slow video calls not possible and also if your Wi-Fi connection is slow skype video call will fail.
MMX launching a65 smarty as we know the snapy performance of the a25, will it will the same snapy as like a25, what you say gogi?
A65 Smarty will be better than A25 for some extra price I guess.
Ya gogi there are some posts which are saying that they will launch it along with mmx a110. If it is with 3g I am going to buy the phone.
Skype, fring, tango, best is skype.
How to make video call on karbonn A1+ ? plz.
hi gogi, pls suggest an android phone dual sim with price < Rs 7000. Should have a decent camera and should be able to access internet and play simple / moderate games.
Sonu you can try the Karbonn A7+, don’t expect too much from the camera, otherwise its a very good phone.
Gogi I have bought A1 and I am highly disappointed. Plz tell me a about a handset not worth than 10k and which support fast speed net and graphic games.
Hi Guys,
I have been using this phone from almost the day it was launched. I was also very skeptic of this phone, and moreover i did not trust the brand KARBONN.
The only reason i bought this phone initially was cuz my phone went dead and my budget was very less. So i bought A1+.
My observations:
As said by gogi these apps did not install: yes true, same happened with me and i was very frustrated. I then downloaded a few apps from 1mobile and installed manually but after lets say about 5 hours my Googleplay started working and i am able to install almost 70-80% of the total apps.. and for those where requirement was fine… all apps install fine. Yes the internal memory is low, but then in 4k what do u expect.
I have games like fruit ninja, ninjump, temple run, jetpack joyride installed in mah phone and they run pretty smooth. only thing is that you have to kill a few processes before you run the games.
I am using almost all the apps that i require like mail, fb, twitter, nimbuzz, whatsapp, instagram, and they work awesome.
The touch sensitivity is also awesome and I haven’t faced any issue till date. My phone has never restarted of its own and follows my command to the word.
The front camera quality for video calls is great but for pics and all not that great. Even the back camera is not that great, its ok.
Cons:
Battery isn’t that great, If i charge to 100% and then use average it gives me about 12-14 hours. If I use extensively then about 6-7 hours remember that my internet is always on be it average use or extensive use.
There was a charging problem with the phone as in the charger that they provided didn’t work very well for me. But I had an old samsung charger and I am using that works like a charm.
Data cable connectivity gave me problems and data transfer from data cable gave me problems so now I use an app AIRDROID and transfer my data between my laptop and phone using that so that issue is also solved.
So all in all I am pretty satisfied with the phone. I have tried to give you guys an all in all in depth review of this phone. So if your budget is low and you wanna enjoy a good phone. Not a bad option at all. Cheers.
Dear Naveed,
I am using skype on my sgs2 with 2g connection and it works fine.Please Naveed check skype Karbonn A1+ with 2g connection and give us feedback please.I am going to buy this phone for my brother.
Hi naveed

Hi, I am using tatadocomo sim, I tried mobile internet settings but I got the message like your mobile not support for internet and i tried manual settings also, it’s not working, plz help me. How can I get internet access in my mobile karbonnA1+.
Dear I faced this problem too.Ask for settings or make manual editing in apn section.Use TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNETHVC as your access point name and it will work sure.
Gogi I think the processor architecture is not supported(never heard of this cpu or gpu that also combo) anyway please gogi do a review of penta is709c tablet its newly launched with vivante GC800 gpu(better than mali 400 in 3d) and it costs just rs.3999 but in homeshop18 after applying rs.500 off coupon i can get it for rs.3499. though this tablet is good but i am not impressed by its plastic quality. So please please tell me which tab to buy adcom 707 for 4k(A13 with 3.5k mah) or Veedee d13 for 4k(a13 battery unknown) or micromax alpha for 5k(a13 and good after sales srevice and looks best) plsssss. All the above tablets are available on homeshop18 and can be bought for rs.500 less. Pls gogi help me. Good looks, reliability, performance and battery back up is most important to me ,my max budget is 5k(fully extended).
Gogi,
I am little bit confused.My budget is for Karbonn a1 plus But i am confused with ninja 3 or this.
I feel like that this phone is not so good.
Please HELP me…………..
Sanchit, Ninja 3 is better that this but not too great. If you will not be installing many apps then Ninja is okay. Other option is spend extra go for Karbonn A7+ or if a lower budget go for Micromax A25.
Karbonn A1+ plus I am using now its very nice and low cost @4000 only, you can buy.
Help me, I am confuse between micromax a52 or karbonn a1+, which one is better for gaming does karbonn a1+ support live wallpaper, plz reply fast.
One of my friend ordered this mobile from adexmart. He says he is happy using it and does not find any issues and has been able to install most of the applications that were compatible with one of my other colleague Karbonn A9.
Not sure if you have got a faulty/defective piece.
My observations after using the mobile was 3/5. Interface lags. Colors not to bright and vivid. But for general user they will feel happy with 3.5 inch display for 4k
Thanks Nilesh. Even if you ignore the app compatibility issue, even normal operation is slow. I have checked A25 and it seems much faster.
Yes Gogi,
see my review of 15 oct on this phone, even I was able to install all games but the lag was very severe and could not enjoy playing any games.
Thanks Murtuza, yes I also did feel the lag, when installing apps and normal apps also take sometime to load.
Hey Gogi have you heard Zen UltraTab A900 a 9inch tab launched for Only Rs 7,999 with 1.5 GHzz. Isn't a Great deal.
Yes seems like 9 inch tablet with single core.
Sir what about karboon a5 accordance with this phone?
Arun A5 is much better than this one.
I will get my karbonn a5 tomorrow from infibeam, thanks for kind answers for my queries.
But, what about the processor, a5 has only 800mhz its lesser than a1+. I am hovering between Karbonn a1+/Karbonn A5 and Micromax A.I.S.H.A a52. Please recommend the best mobile in the lot.
A1+ there is hardware incompatibility issue and also lags, A5 is much better and A52 is with 256MB RAM. Go for A5.
Gogi isn't it possible to manually install the quadrant, antutu and nenamark via apk and run them? If U did that then we could've gotten an idea of the scores.
Vivek, I don't think it will work even that way. Seems like hardware incompatibility. Also apps installation is slow, game load is slow and lags.
Well i dont know what version of mobile you got but i successfully ran Quadrant as well as Antutu benchmark and even GPU Bench, all downloaded from Google Play, if you want i can upload a video for you. My Antutu score was about 3000.
Zeex you can check the video attached. It shows device not compatible.
Gogi bhai ram ram, plz tell me which is better micromax a25 or karbonn a1plus. I saw both reviews.
plz reply
thanks 🙂
Harsh A25 is much better.
A25 Screen resolution is QVGA and seems to be pixelated even though its a small screen. However hardware wise its gud.
Nilesh, yes less resolution the faster it will perform as less load on GPU.
Gogi bhai, a25 doesn’t have front cam, does it?
No there is no front camera on A25.
Gogi bro plz review of Karbonn A11.
In the connectivity column the spelling of there is thee please correct it
Thanks Sayan have corrected the word.
Hi Gogi,
Thanks for the video review. 1st on the net. Specially for showing user accessible space.
I have 1 doubt, why you recommend MMX A25 over A1+? I guess Both have exactly same hardware and selling price. A25 might runs a tad faster since it has a lower resolution screen (exactly half the pixel count I guess) but that can't be sufficient to chose a 2.8" phone over a 3.5" A1+.
What am I missing? Is there something substantial that A25 can do but A1+ can't?
Regards,
Anupam
Anupam,
A25 is 1GHz (MT6575 CPU ARMv7) with Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX 531 GPU
A1+ is Spreadtrum SP6820A 1GHz with Mali 300 GPU
both different hardware and lot of compatibility issues with A1+. I could not run benchmark on A1+ cause it cannot install – not compatible it says.
And even apps and games are very slow.
Thanks Gogi For your review you saved me 😀
hi gogi bro, can karbonn A1 plus support multi touch, pinch to zoom and usable ram.
Yes it does please check the review I have updated.
I am confuse between micromamax a52 or karbonn a1+, which one is better for gaming does karbonn a1+ support live wallpaper, plz reply fast.
Hi gogi bro,
micromax A25 and karbonn A1 Plus which is better for net, music, user avialble ram and games.
Both have same hardware does not matter which you choose. I have done a review on A25 you can search on this site.
@zeex can it play temple run and does it have edge.
I saw the finishing of the phone and was impressed. But after that it was all downhill;
Pros
1) Good outer finishing
2) Big screen
Cons
1) Battery life is very low , only 3-4 hours of use( it is one of the worst battery performers since my use of about 15 different mobiles in last 12 years).
2) Battery charging takes about 5 to 6 hours to fully charge. Yes you read right. Worst battery ever.
3) Almost every game and application lags due to low ram.
4) Net speed is pathetic even for 2g.
5) The weakest tower signal on a phone ever. Phone calls drop frequently and most of the time the towers show 0 or 1 towers when my other phone shows 5 towers in same place. Can hardly hear the call with such weak antenna. Suddenly it can show from 0 to 5 bars, no consistency.
Sincere advise to all, please avoid this mobile.
Don't just go for the specifications, as it is the actual quality which matters more, I was fooled by the impressive specs. Actual performance is very bad.
Dear gogi, can it play basic games such as angry birds ,fruit ninja …..
Please check review of Micromax Samrty A25 http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a25-review.html it is with same features.
Zeex, can it support less than 15 mb games and it have 3.5mm jack.
Dear gogi, I wanna buy karboon A1 plus so shall i go for it. Plz tell me pros and cons of it. Thanks.
A basic phone with 2G and no GPS.
@zeex does it have screen auto rotate feature
Yes it does have auto rotate feature, proximity sensor and auto brightness adjustment. Let me sum it up for you. Buy this mobile for- big screen with good resolution, almost all apps supported (not gms), for watching good quality vids (not HD). Internet browsing ( wifi & 2g only).
Not for- playing games, camera, 3g and gps.
Oh yes am sorry, with what I thought is that cell tower based location is because of gps while exact location finder is because of A-GPS. while in actual it is opposite.
@GOGI plz help
When i Benchmarked this mobile with Antutu it gave score of around 3000. But whenever i start temple run it crashes after showing start screen. why is it so?
Avishek what about ram and intrnal memory.
Ram is 207MB and Internal memory is about 200MB
Guys i recently bought Karbonn A1+, But I am very disappointed to say that there is no gps in this model. But zeex you said that it has one with google maps, then how shall I activate it pls help.
It does have gps but not A-Gps support. You cannot get real time position. But with google maps you can get your position approximately. Try installing Gmaps from play store and you will get what I am talking about.
Zeex, as far as I know there is no GPS but there is A-GPS support. You can get the location based cell tower. Accuracy is not that high.
I am using tata docomo and max speed is up 2, 8,9 kbps while with sony xperia mini its up 2 25, 30 kbps. I bought this phone so plz help me why is net so slow?
Hi A1+ is a low cost phone with GPRS only where as on Mini its GPRS + EDGE network. Edge is a bit faster than GPRS.
Can we install chrome browser in it.
Gogi can it run temple run?
The Micromax A25 smarty with the same specs as A1+ does play temple run. A1+ will also be able to run Temple run game.
Plz help, can it play Temple Run & Whats App Messenger ? Plz Help
I bought a karbonn a1+ but am not able to download any apps from play store it is say this is compatible with your phone. Play store is not fully supported in my phone what should I do?
Karbonn A1 Plus 207MB Ram available for users. Better than micromax A25 and micromax A57.
On confusion on specification the of Karbonn A1+.
i bought this mobile few days back online through saholic.com for 3990/-.
Ram: Ram on this Mobile is 207MB (Not 256mb)
Gpu: According to GPUBENCH it has Mali-300 (am not sure about clock speed)
Cpu: 1ghz
The pic shown on the official Karbonn website and other seller websites is absolutely correct. The wallpaper that they all are using might be photoshopped.
It has pretty decent resolution and a big screen (3.5").
i tried playing 720p movie in inbuilt player but it only played sound.
After that i used MoboPlayer and used softdecoding. it did played it with low fps and sound was lagging.
As far as games are concerned then keep in mind that this phone is low-end android. So didnt tried much. But it ran Bad piggies smoothly (34MB) but lagged badly when i played Plants vs Zombie (94MB).
I also tried experimenting with launcher and few widgets.
Installed Go-launcher. it was looking very nice because of high resolution but at the same time it sucked all the RAM available and i was left with only 20-15 mb of ram. hence removed it.
It does not have 3g, only GPS with google map.
All apps works fine.
overall i am satisfied with its performance, the screen resolution and and size that they are giving in this price and the build quality.
PS: first i have ordered micromax a25, but then cancelled it and went for karbonn.
Please feel free to ask any thing about this mobile or if you want me to try any app or game init.
Gogi does it have accelerometer.
Varun, GSensor are a minimum standard today, it does have.
does it have auto rotate feature and can we run temple run in this
Available user ram and internal memory.
Dear Gogi, I have search the detail spec of karbonn A1+, I found out is does not have 3.5 audio jack which you have mentioned in your review that it has please clarify.
Nitin, http://www.infibeam.com/Mobiles/i-Karbonn-A1-Plus-Dual-Sim/P-E-M-Karbonn-A1-Plus.html?id=White it is mentioned 3.5mm jack.
Hey.
Kindly reply me
does karbonn A1 plus supports Flash player to watch youtube videos?
Does it play youtube videos without flash player?
Does karbonn A1 plus support document viewer (doc, xls, ppt, pdf, zip) etc. Reply if you are sure. Thanks.
Any android phone 2.3 and over will support the office formats you will need to download the required apps from Google Play.
Can micromax a25 and micromax a57 can be upgraded to ics?
No don't think so.
Hello GOGI, can you plz give a review on Aimax NeoSky 3D (Black). Available just at Rs. 4990/- at snapdeal.com. I'm willing to buy this phone.
I also want to purchase that mobile. Did you purchase that mobile plz send me feedback about that product plz send me genuine feedback.
Hi Sukamal,
Today i got a call from snapdeal and they said it is their top selling product. I’m also waiting for ‘GURU Gogi’ to give us a review on that. Features are attractive at very low price..
Between Karbonn A1+ and MM A25 which would be a better buy. Are the processors and GPUs on both the phone same or different? Anybody any clues?
Karbonn A1+ ll be great since the mobile comes with 512MB RAM
1. Does this phone have flash player?
2. ICS upgrade, any possibility?
Flash should not be an issue, but no ICS upgrade.
Hi Gogi
Looking for a low budget mobile( 5000+or- ) good enough for (net surfing,chatting and movie streaming and camera) for the time being as waiting for the MMX & Karbonn dual cores can you suggest which one is better MMXA25 or karbonn A1+ or any other?
please suggest me if this phone is good as it looks attractive for the price but I am confused bout the ram, please help me decide http://www.snapdeal.com/product/aimax-neosky-3d-black/405779?storeID=mobiles-mobile-phones_wdgt2by2_405779
Dianne for low cost go with Micromax A25 I have done a review on that http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a25-review.html
Please give the review on Aimax NeoSky 3D mobile phone available on snapdeal.
Please upload unboxing and gaming video of karbonn a1
Is there a GPU in this one? Micromax a25 is pretty good and with 256mb can we play shadowgun like hd games.
Sam there is GPU, but you cannot play shadowgun game on this handset.
Hello GOGI, can u plz give a review on Aimax NeoSky 3D (Black).. Available just at Rs. 4990/- at snapdeal.com. Looks are of high end phones, but cost is very low..
Aimax NEOSKY 3D Dual Sim AVILABLE AT Rs3999/- at http://WWW.D2HSHOP.COM
Just saw karbonn a7+ in flipkart. Thought of informing you on this.
Thanks Srini, I have the review up, nothing much the same with 1GHz.
Hi Gogi Sir,
This phone is now available in the market in 4000. I bought this phone yesterday and Ram is 256MB. It's a low cost device, don’t expect too much out of it and this is especially not for heavy gamers. Here are some pics.

Thanks Moshin for the input. So just 256MB RAM.
Hii,
there seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the connectivity of this handset. Would u kindly confirm whether this is pure 2G or 3G is supported on this …would like to see more pics pls post more.
Thanks a tonne in advance..
Hi Mohsin/Gogi,
Thanks for all the info. Can anybody share the internal storage spec?
All the shopping sites are mentioning internal memory as "256mb RAM". Would appreciate if someone can share the total and user accessible internal storage.
Also will appreciate if some proud owners can share the GPU specs.
Thanks
The internal storage of Karbon A1 + is 150MB and the RAM capacity is 512MB 50% more than MM A25
Hi Sathish,
Thanks for the response. Can you please mention a source or you already got one?
The official page of it looks fake. If you see the 1st picture, the UI is actually a screenshot of Samsung Galaxy Tab. A1+ has GB but that picture suggests ICS Tablet layout!
Would appreciate if some owner can confirm the specs are identical to the published one.
Thanks
Sathish,
RAM of karbonn a1+ is 200MB only and it has 170MB internal memory
Hi Gogi,
The screen shot you have attached for the phone is not correct. You can clearly see Samsung apps logo on the homescreen and also the touch wiz UI
Sameer, you are right, I have removed the image as it would lead to confusion, interestingly buytheprice is selling it with the same image, not sure if the model as seen will be the same!
Karbonn a7+ is also launched now. Its available in Flipkart. (http://www.flipkart.com/karbonn-a7-mobile-phone/p/itmddqznrnhfezk2?pid=MOBDDQNYHPTERRFS&ref=94b9bf20-3dc8-47a3-93fd-65a9aa669131). All features are same as that of Karbonn a7 except 1GHz processor
Is this phone available in the market? I have tried to look on Infibeam and Flipkart but they have do not seem to have this one with them. Any ideas where this phone will be available online?
In flipkart the phone spec.. shows that it supports 3g .
There is difference between Karbonn A1 and A1+.
This is real competitor of micromax smarty a25. And A1+ is clear winner.
sir,
i have a doubt about this phone. why is that samsung apps logo is displayed in the pic you displayed . the same samsung apps logo is displayed on every website (buytheprice.com, shopping.indiatimes.com) with this karbonn a1+.
is it possible for karbonn to allow downloads through samsung apps?
1 more question . does this phone supports google play ?
Hi the image is as on
The ROM may be different and yes it will have access to Google play.
Yaa Something Wrong With the Picture, Well it Can be a Samsung Phone And No Many Of Them Believing That The Karbonn A1+ Hardly Exists As They Were No Information Given By The Karbonn. That Strange!!
Yes but it is listed on so lets see. Plus the Karbonn site is anyway too slow to update.
I think Karbonn A1+ Real Competitor Is Micromax A25 Because They Are In the Same Category With Same Price And Same Specification With Karbonn A1+ Winning the Race By 3.5 Inch Screen, GPS, And a 1500 mAh Battery Back up!and They Both Lacks 3G.
wow!! very nice specification and low price tag but it should have 3g.
Most ppl can't afford 3g anyway so it makes a lot of sense if your in for your 1st android phone.
