There you go another handset from Micromax, this time it is the Micromax A25 or Micromax Smarty that will be available for sale, probably tomorrow and you might see it listed on Saholic.com. This is a low end phone with 2.8 inch screen, 256MB RAM and Android 2.3 sailing on a 1GHz processor.
The Micromax A25 specs looks good especially with the 1GHz computing power. The screen size of 2.8 inches, missing GPS and no 3G support will surely make this phone more affordable, possibly even cheaper than the Ninja 3.
Instead of 3G users can use the GPRS or the EDGE networks. The handset weighs 102 grams with 13mm thickness. Even the rear camera is of low resolution (1.3MP). The capacitive touch screen is 2.8 inches supporting resolution of 320×240 pixels with 262K colours.
The Micromax A25 Smarty comes with 256MB RAM, 120MB of internal storage and of course microSD card slot. The design looks good with 2 dedicated touch sensitive buttons and a central dedicated physical button.
Over all the phone is targeted for budget conscious users and the price tag I believe will be well under Rs. 5K. It can also serve as an excellent backup phone. The battery is of 1280mAh capacity with 4 hours of talktime and 180 hours of standby time. This handset will hit the markets tomorrow – Saholic.com will probably list it tomorrow, price currently unknown.
Micromax A25 Smarty Key Features and Specifications
- 1GHz single core processor + GPU.
- Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
- 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM, 120MB internal storage and microSD support.
- 2.8 inch capacitive touchscreen (320×240 px resolution) with 262K colours.
- EDGE/GPRS (Class 12), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, WAP, 1.3 MP rear camera and G-sensors.
- 1280 mAh battery (Standby time – a week , Talktime – 4 hours).
- Price – Unknown
The Micromax Smarty or A25 is as powerful as the Ninja 3 & Ninja 4 but with trimmed down features which will help reduce the cost.

Sir this phone is downloading the videos instead.
Hi Gogi,
Thanks for the review I presented this phone to my wife, and she likes it very much, even I am new to android.
Couple of things you can help me out
1) the camera takes awful pictures (always dark and gloomy), pls suggest some settings so that atleast she can take some decent pics.
2) even she wants to get rid of unwanted apps like hookup, mzone etc., I tried ur way of disabling but could not, its like this settings>application>applications>manage applications>all>hookup-after tapping- forcestop,cancel, move to SD card, Clear Cache are not highlighted, only Clear data is highlighted but no disabling feature is available. Am I doing this right or is something wrong with her phone.
any help is appreciated
Nitesh,
1. the camera is ok not too good you cannot get better than this for such low price. Try outdoor photos it will be little better. But if you want phone with good camera go for phone with at least 5MP camera.
2. The OS may not have the option to disable it. For unwanted apps, there is nothing you can do.
Hi Gogi,
Full credit to you, coz after reading your reviews and my feedback in our office 3 of them bought micromax a110 canvas simultaneously.
Happy New Year
Sir please tell me the full procedure of rooting my micromax a25, a87 rooting tips are not working.
Dear Gogiji,
Can I uninstall these (factory installed) system installed apps on Micromax A25:
a) Hook Up app
b) M!Store
c) M!Zone
d) Facebook (or any other pre-installed app)
If I uninstall them will my phone warranty become invalid ?
Please guide.
Bryam you disable these apps from settings, apps tap the app and disable. Some apps can cuase issues but it is safe to remove hook up, M! store / ZONE. Avoid disabling facebook.
Dear Gogiji,
If in case I uninstall Hook up, M!Zone, M!Store, Google Maps, Gmail, (all factory installed apps on the phone) these apps,
Will my Micromax A25 WARRANTY still remain valid or will it become invalid?
I will then install them afresh on the SDcard, if need be. As these apps are installed in the system they are taking needless phone space.
I don’t want to risk my phone warranty.
Please guide.
Regards
Bryan, you cannot uninstall but you can disable the apps. Better not to disable apps like Gmail, Maps as they will crash the OS. You cannot move all apps to SD card. By disabling you are not risking the warranty. In case of issues just factory reset and all will be back to normal.
Dear Gogiji,
Thanks once again for replying to my query.
Appreciate your efforts in helping everyone out.
Warm regards.

My only hesitation is that does it supports skype calls i.e. Voice or video calls
I want skype becoz i live in usa and my family in india.
So,we need to talk more.
Please reply me
Waiting for reply
Dr. Himanshu, A25 is basic phone good enough but if you can go for Karbonn A15 with 512MB RAM, as on a longer run with more apps installed the karbonn A15 will be better.

2) cant add pics as a call contact pic. Says “lack of space, cutting failed” but when i check my phone memory, its not full.
3) how to clear items which have been added twice on the home screen? screen is getting cluttered.
Dear Gogiji,
Do I need to download any PC suite from Micromax for transferring data from my PC to A25 mobile?
I couldn’t any such software on the official Micromax website. If indeed I need to download any such software, please provide the link for the same.
Warm regards,
Bryan check this
Hello sir, please post a comparision video between Mmx a25 and Lava iris n350. If not, tell me which one to buy among these two but, do remember i am a heavy net user and also i type n do gaming a lot.
Sir, when I receive any incoming call then I get a message ” call intercept” and i can’t get any incoming call. Sir how to remove this problem in micromax a25.
Hi,
I believe clearing the flash will do the deal for you. But be careful, it will reset your phone to factory settings. more like a master reset. So, i suggest backup all your data before you attempt this.
Steps:
1. Turn off your mobile
2. Make sure a min of 50% battery length is available
3. Holding volume-up key, turn on the phone.
4. Select the “Clear-Flash” menu
5. Just sit back and relax. Rest will be taken care on its own.
6. Once done, again you will have to set up your phone and restore Data.
Cheers!!!
Go to firewall app you will see black and white list option click it, it will show numbers, hold the numbers and delete it.
Dear Gogiji, THANK YOU very much for your guidance. I will try the apps that u have suggested. Gogiji you are doing a FABULOUS job helping everyone. Really appreciate it. Regards.
I need to transfer ph contacts from nokia to micromax a25. pl let me know the procedure (both frm sim & handset). I see no sim contacts but other skype etc contacts in my mm handset. How to delete them. internal memory is too low. What is the price of the 32 gb sd ram. pls guide.
Murli,
Every phone will have its pros and cons. This phone’s internal memory is terribly low. Please search online for Memory card rates.
Regarding Contacts, Following are the steps you may try.
1. Nokia – mm through direct bluetooth transfer.
2. If you have the option in phone to backup the contacts to memory card, do it. Plug the same card to Android and search within card for contacts. Android default behavior is to search for a given drive/location for all available contact files. So, no worries.
3. Backup the contacts with PC Suite and the transfer them to your mm directly through BT or the same memory card method.
Per my knowledge, this should work. Please le me know if this dosent work out.
Hi gogi sir. I have a mm a25 handset and is really awesome but I have a problem the mm labs launcher app always fails and then I have to wait for at least 5 min to again start using my phone what is the matter and I have taken whatsapp from Bluetooth from my friend will it work? pls reply.
Abhishek, could be issue with the OS try a factory reset and see if that is fixed. And you can try and install whatsapp APK from anywhere either downloaded from net of downloaded from you friends handset using Bluetooth.
Gogiji,
Thanks for helping everyone. Keep up the GREAT JOB.
I have bought an MM A25 few days back, its working GREAT.
I would like u to suggest me an app that can enlarge the photo contact size (atleast 4 times the default size, if possible). The thing is I bought this mobile for my mom, who has poor eye site. I want an enlarged PHOTO ID so that she can recognize the person in the list. She is illiterate, so only relies on photos to call people.
Please HELP.
Regards
Bryan, you might want to search the Google play for an app that will help with enlarged photos. May be you can try these https://play.google.com/store/search?q=photo+dialer&c=apps
My a25 has a slow internet problem cant load apps in google play not a problem with reliance sim checked it in another phone. It is showing connection timeout. Plz help.
Yedhuraj,
This could be for various reasons. Please do at check of the following items and you should be able to get it. Prior to that would like to tell you that this is a 2G phone. So, the internet speed depends on the network strength in your locality.
1. Check which sim is connected to internet
2. Check APN settings for the Internet active sim
3. Check the network connectivity.
Most of the servious providers send the settings as soon as they detect internet compatible phones. But, most of then fail to recognise the OS and fail to send the exact settings for android. In such case, you will have to call customer care and get this configured manually. Hope this helps.
Cheers!!!
Hey Gogi, some website said that.the phone did failed to respond during start up and hanged while navigating from one page to another and also during closing and opening some applications..It’s right or wrong?
It’s due to hard handling of phone or the mobile problem, help me because I want to buy galaxy lite duos. Mmx a25 is optional, I watched your review its good and my friend bought ninja4 he said play store not working why?
Kapil, the A25 that I used for the review was working perfectly fine. Those complaining might have got a defective unit / software issue. The Ninja 4 has a lot of issues it better to go with A25 or better still instead of Ninja 4 go with Karbonn A15.
Thanks, I thing mmx a25 better with the prize. It’s a good phone na or any other problem in it.i see all the comments,so many small complaints with it.

Hello sir, I have bought this MM smarty a25 a week ago and everything is going well but i have facing one problem, the problem is when I reboot or turn on/off the icons of application like games disappear and default android icons appear. Sir I did factory reset but problem is going on. Sir, please help me.
Tipu are you using any app to change the icon?
No sir….
Sir, is there any problem for installing apk file from pc?
Tipu, no its save, but try to get the apps downloaded and install from Google play as much as you can.
Hey gogi does a25 battery jumps such as its now 70 than it will jump to 60 or so because I have face this issue on ninja 4.
Ritik, if it does on any smartphone its normal it will take few charge cycle and will get better and more accurate. Just use the phone normally and charge only when the battery is completely drained.
Hi Gogi,
Please let me know whether to buy A25 or A57. Which is better between the two.
TIA
Hey gogi I want to buy micromax a25 but I want to know can we download whatsapp on it will it work or not? plz reply soon.
Rahul, I did not check that but some users are saying that it does not work.
Whatsapp cannot be installed from Googleplay. However, you can download the latest .apk file from whatsapp site and then install it. I have done it and it works fine.
Adding to above comments, there are many complaints regarding whatsapp that it dosent work on dual sim phones.
Reason:
> You try to connect to internet from different sim than the one you wish to authenticate.
>Dual sim phones always have a lag that if sim 2 is using internet, sim 1 will be in background silent mode to the network or vice-versa.
Trick:
>Use only 1 sim while you use whatsapp for first time. Connect to internet and authenticate.
>If you have Wifi, select the sim you want to authenticate as the default sim and just authenticate it.
I too had faced several issues with other dual sim android phones. This is what i learnt from my exp.
Cheers!!!
Hey gogi, I have a small question, I had bought this mobile a month back, all the mobiles which I have seen on youtube and other pics shows that they are having ics theme. But mine is not having that theme… i.e – you mobile shown on youtube is having 5 icons in the bar at the bottom but mine is only having only four icon in the bar… any solution for this? waiting for your reply. thank you.
Not sure if you have space on the bottom bar for one more icon if yes then you can tap an app icon you like from menu, hold and then drag it to the bar making it 5 icons. If not then visit the micromax service center they will update to the latest ROM.
does it support ( A25 ) wats app ?
It cannot be installed from directly fromGoogleplay. It says that the devise doesnot support it. However, you can download the latest .apk file from whatsapp site and then install it. I have done it and it works fine.
Does micromax a 25 have proximity sensor
No, it does not have it. Its a shortcoming.
Hi gogi sir
I have some question about micromax a 25
1. What is the 2g speed(in kb/s)?
2.It can store sms upto 20000?
3.What is the quality of this phone . It can complete 2 years?
4.It has motion sensor ?
5. It support Mp4 format video ?
6. I can get backup of my message’s in pc ?
Hi Vishal,
Please pardon me if any of my humor hurts. Below are my point of view on this
1. What is the 2g speed(in kb/s)?
Max it can go upto 42kbps
2.It can store sms upto 20000?
It says threaded view. That dosent mean it should store in thousands. Think what if you keep vital info there and phone is lost or OS corrupted.
3.What is the quality of this phone . It can complete 2 years?
Well for this cost, quality and performance are good. About completing 2 years, depends how you handle the phone 😉
4.It has motion sensor ?
Yes, It has.
5. It support Mp4 format video ?
Yes Sir, It does
6. I can get backup of my message’s in pc ?
Why are you so concerned about messages? This i think cannot be done.
Hello sir I am using a25 since last one week well its a gud entry level smartphone. The little bit problem I think its outdated os so sir I want to know that it is possible to upgrade in ics if yes then plz show the path. Regards.
Amar, no not possible its a very basic entry level android phone.

I am gonna buy my 1st android handset this Diwali. But am little confused between MMX A52 nd MMX A25 smarty. Plz suggest which one should I buy.
Micromax a25 support wifi and GPS or not?????
It does support WiFi, but not GPS.
What does class 12 gprs mean, is it about speed?
Yes the higher the class the better the speed but its just few kbps so hardly matters. Max class is 34.
Hi Gogi, thanks a lot for your suggestion to buy this phone I am happy with it so far, the touch is as smooth as Samsung or other biggy phones but the only problem is screen size which is very small the keyboard occupies all the space and you cant see what you are typing, especially on twitter and FB. Can you suggest me something to solve this problem also, I am able to play fruit ninja angry birds, but not temple run it lags and then crashes (even when its mounted in SD card) also cant play long videos on youtube, they crash.
Dianne, this is a basic entry level android phone, you are asking for too much :-).
Hi Gogi
Thanks for the reply … 🙂 you are right am asking for too much in this price segment but you know am happy with it does all what a basic android requires and its better with few applications like camera and video player apps. I watched your review u played Temple Run and it worked fine!!! So was curious, it might work on my A25 too 🙂
Dianne, yes Temple run will work, just make sure to close all running apps before starting the game. You can install task manager which will let you view and close background apps. Or just restart the phone and directly run Temple run.
You can download smart ram booster its a nice app.
hi gogi bro,
can micromax a25 suport multi touch and pinch to zoom.
Yes it does. A25 supports 5 point multi touch.
Thanks gogi. I bought this android cell. Now this is in my hand

Thanks, but when you check Karbonnn A1 plus inform us. Thnx again.
Mmx a25 or karbnn a1plus? Which is better for net surfing?
Jordan, both don't support 3G so does not matter. I have not checked A1 yet but surfing is pretty cool on A25.
I agree with gogi. A25 comes with ArmV7 which is way too better than 300. Just for little bigger screen, dont go with A1+. I suggest A25 over A1+
I have also buy Micromax Smarty A25. I think it is brilliant phone with a lot of cool features at a affordable prize. I have bought it for Rs 3900/- Its great supporting G-Sensor to play motion games powerful 1Ghz processor Only thing I want to know is how to root this phone, can anyone tell me.
Hi, could u tell me that how much maximam number of app can be installed to get smooth performance?
You can install as many apps as that can be stored on the available internal storage space.
I read some negative comments about a 57 like, heating problem, net slow, also the look is not very good it looks like tablet, will you please tell me about these issues and also the negative points of a25. I am net user on 2g and I do not play games.
Deepak, A57 is loaded with much better features on a minimal platform hence it fails. Now the A25 is also on a minimal platform but with minimal feature hence it does well. If you are using 2G and wont' be using 3G go for the A25. Negative point is the missing 3G.
I am going to buy my first android cell. So let me know please,has MMX A25 proximity sensor? And can i play motion car race game in it? And is it support android live wallpapers and themes?
Hi please check the review http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a25-review.html
hi gogi, I am using this mobile for a week. Mem is very low am very unhappy with this mobile and I have these doubts. Is it possible to increase Ram to 512. And how to root this mob if I root this is it possible. Plz guide me and thank you.
How many apps have you installed? It is a basic phone so do not install too many apps. Mem is 256 if you are using many apps then try memory booster app and see if it works. You cannot increase RAM. And the device can be rooted but I do not have the how to, now.
Hi Gogi,
I would like to know about one feature that is available in samsung any device, like contacts locking, message locking or any folder locking option. Is this micromax smarty a25 has that feature in it. If it has that locking facility of personal data, then I'll take this mobile.
Rakesh, all these android devices come with almost the same features. Some brads do provide a different user interface but all in all the default features/ apps are the same. The android market is huge and you will find apps for locking as per your need. You can try searching from your browser – https://play.google.com/
hey gogi, I am a heavy net user should I rely on MM A25. bdgt 4500. plz suggest.
The screen is okay not very good but for the price this is a very good phone even for heavy net usage.
I don't have wifi. Is it good on 2g network. I am right now using Nokia 7210 supernova. is it better than 7210 for net connectivity on 2g. Advice needed.
It is class GPRS Class 12 and Edge Class 12 speed on GPPRS will not be more than 88Kbps and on Edge not more than 236kbps. But usually you will get much lower than these speed – depends on the network.
Hey gogi you haven't given d answer. Does a25 has edge or not. Is it good without wifi.
Please check http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a25-review.html you will get all your questions answered.
Am using a25 since 2 days. Awesome mobile, I observed that ucbrowser always crashes don't know why. Is this not a multitasking mobile? What is diff between GPS and Google Maps.
Sathish,
GPS is like asking someone where exactly you are. Google maps is something like where you need to go. GPS helpa point your exact location on map. In cases of No GPS, the maps points you based on the nearest mobile tower. Hope this answers your question
Thanks gogi now you are my new tech guru.
Thanks gogi for doing a gaming review i just want to ask that i want to buy micromax a 25 so can I transfer my apps & games from internal memory to micro sd card from this set
Nikhil, yes you can move apps to SD card but not all apps can be moved, it depends.
Hi gogi please do a detailed gaming review of micromax smarty . I want to buy this handset .
Nikhil, I have already done the review of this phone here http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a25-review.html
There is a gaming video also, based on which you will get an idea on what kind of games can work.
Hi, can it play talking tom2?
May I know detail about G-sensor on this phone? Is it the same useful for playing motion sensor games? does micromax a25 have it? I want to buy for playing motion sensor games kindly advice.
Aalok, yes the A25 smarty can be used to play motion sensor games.
Hi Gogi,
can you please upload Micromax A25 unboxing video. i want to see its performance before purchase.
Prem, yes it will be done by tomorrow.
The main problem with micromax is battery, is it ok with a25? I had a bad experience of x550 qube, please tell me, I want to buy a mobile a25 or nokia asha 305?
Deepak, the battery life on any of these brand have improved a lot. I have a Smarty with me and I will be doing a video review on that which should be up latest by tomorrow.
hi gogi I want to ask one question is micromax a100 discontinued because when I went to several shops they said that phone is discontinued if it is available then plz tell me where can I buy it
Finally got Micromax a57, its look like Rs. 10000+. Touch is very smooth. Google, facebook, youtube, work very good. Fast on vodafone network. Not tried 3g yet. I m very happy. Thanks Micromax. This is my 1st android. Thank you gogi for advice.
Okk gogi ,
finaly going 2 buy micromax a57 today..
Okay gr8 also there is some new news the Ninja 4 with 4 inch, the mm website says its with 800×480 pixels if that is the case then its too good.
wow…MMX really rocking the market like anything. I'm very much confused about ninjas & smarty. Can you please create a new thread for distinguishing all ninja's in just simple table format like Ninja2 VS Ninja3 VS Ninja4 VS Smarty.
I want to buy it online. So, What are the websites that are selling it other than maniacstore and saholic.
Aitya also available at .
Gogi, sorry for off topic. Any news on K-A24? I presume that this will not be launched till DEC (Even Motorolla launched their new Razr with ICS which will be upgraded to Jelly Bean in DEC and SGS3 update is still awaiting) and that leaves me no option but to go with X900. Your take on that? Your suggestion is very valuable to me.
Sbabu, A24 should be launched by end of sept or early oct, any delay will be bad for the company. I am sure that the A24 does not come with the the usual hardware that A100, A90 has because then it would have already been in the market. I believe it will be dual core or something different, may be the production is slow. But its better to wait you already have an option in X900 which is also an excellent device (costly though).
Hey Gogi, Your Point Of View Is Also Important regarding Karbonn a24. We Also Want to Know what Do You Expect From A24 to be the best Smartphone, Like 1gb Ram or Camera What Else ?
shashank, too early to say but I would want a dual core, 8MP camera (minimum), 512MB RAM (1GB would be excellent) and min 4GB storage and of course rest of the usual stuffs.
BREAKING NEWS: "Nokia cuts prices of older Windows phones, shares fall"
"So That Mean That Nokia Windows Phone are Flopped And Android Rising up In The Sky"
Thank you gogi for fast reply and suggest me. This phone will in my hand after some days. Only micromax gives 1Ghz processor in just Rs. 3990/-
Hiren, that's great do let us know your A25 experience.
gogi, micromax ninja 3 and ninja 3.5 is deffrent phone or same , is 3.5 have 512 ram?
Hiren, http://micromaxsuperfone.com/home.php site does not mention anything about 3.5 (ninja 3 has 3.5 inch screen). Internal memory is Internal256 MB RAM, 512MB ROM. Check settings, application -> running total up the RAM should be under 256MB.
Gogi,Suppose I bought a phone 5-6 months ago and is discontinued now,what happens to warranty? I can see some models which are discontinued long back still available online(MM Q5FB/Spice Mi270) Will I get complete 1yr warranty on this? Service center shouldn't refuse to repair those models.
Raj, don't worry they will give you the warranty as promised.
Hi gogi, I always check your reviews, you always give perfect review. I want 2 buy my 1st android, my basic need is facebook chat, whatsapp and google search, I don't need a high mp camera. Can I go with micromax a25? I just want to know if the touch is good on this phone?
Hiren, yes this is a cheapest phone with 2.3 OS, touch is very good (capacitive). I had used the Micromax A50 and this handset is also on the same lines. Very good for the price.
flipkart says spice Mi270 is discontinued permanently.Even sulekha says (@2999) out of stock.I think if smarty is dual sim,it will directly compete with samsung duos C3312.
Highly rated Spice Mi-310 is available @Rs.3989 with: 3G, 3.1"Screen (320×480), A-GPS, 2MP camera, Proximity sensor. The only minus point is single sim. Otherwise it can still beat A25 in all departments. Go here:
http://www.saholic.com/mobile-phones/spice-mi-310…
Sorry but i forgot to mention that Spice Mi-310 has low processor, and Android 2.2. Thus total 3 points are against Mi-310 and 6 Points are with Mi-310. And it is one of the most trusted Indian android handset till date.
Vikram these smartphone are old and have very low processor and with froyo out of generation operating system and micromax a25 are new generation phone which have better quality of screen as well as gingerbread that makes it perfect, only it has some issue and get cheaper day by day, its price will fall down, I think so.
Obviously better than Samsung newly released pocket duos. It beats sammy mobile in price and specs too good move by mmx.
Micromax is launching mobiles at very fast rate. That's very good, hope they will also be increasing their quality not only quantity. Looking at this A25 if it will be under 4000, then can be challange for cheapest android in market i.e. Spice Mi-270. Although their specs vary as: A25/Mi270= 1.3MP/2MP camera, 1GHz/400MHz, NoGPS/GPS, Android2.3/Android2.2. Dual sim Spice Mi270 is available @Rs.3299 only.
A25 price is 3990/- available to buy in Maniacstore.
MMX is releasing new models every friday….way to go.
"Not Bad a Powerful 1Ghz Processor, Its Is a Dual Sim Phone ? And What is Expected price ? Can u tell Me ?
Shashank, price not known but if you compare it with Ninja 3 it should be cheaper than Ninja 3. So probably this could become the cheapest android phone in micromax family.
Yes Gogi You Are Right its The Cheapest Android Phone In Micromax Family
