Another Micromax handset called the Micromax A68 Smarty 4.0 now gets listed on lalajionline for a price of Rs. 7,499. This is a 1GHz, ICS powered handset with 5MP camera.
The Micromax A68 it seems is here to complete with the Kabonn A15. However price wise the Karbonn A15 still wins. The A68 is dual SIM phone with a 1GHz processor and 512MB RAM. The specifications listed on the lalajionline may not be 100% accurate.
As per the specs the internal storage is 2GB, micro SD card of up to 32GB is supported. The display screen is 4 inches with 800×480 pixel resolution. The handset is 9.9mm thin. There is a 5MP camera with fixed focus and LED flash.
Interestingly there is no mention of 3G, instead 2G network is mentioned. I think for the price it should have 3G. Other features included are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, micro USB and 3.5mm jack. Not sure if GPS is included it’s not mentioned in on the box pack.
Micromax had recently launched the Micromax A25 Smarty a low cost 2G phone. The Micromax A68 comes with 1600 mAh battery that gives a talktime of about 5 hours and standby time of about 6 days. Looking at the specs 4 inch screen and ICS OS is good but the price is much more than the Karbonn A15, moreover the 5MP fixed focus camera will not be enough to convince users. What do you say?

Not sure have not tested it.
Gogi sir please tell me which phone should i buy under the price 7000
plzz i want to buy micromax a68 but its showing outof stalk in online stores//////////////
Hi gogi, i plan to buy a smart phone under 7000, please suggest about lava iris n400..
Hello gogi sir I want to know that from were I can buy micromax a68? On many online stores I have found that its out of stock so can u plz help me out from this problem plz. Thank you sir.
Hey gogi sir, I want micromax a68, but this phone is out of stock. What can I do, plz help sir. I love this phone.
Sir what about the battery I am using Micromax A45 but its backup is not at all impressive. Wat should i buy either Karbonn A9+ or Micromax A68 ??
You guys can check the Karbonn A15 Features and benchmarks from Gogi’s article or video review.
Guys interested in buying Micromax A68 can checkout:
Benchmarks (fun part):
Quadrant standard – 2548
Nenamark – 23.1 fps
Antutu – 4508
We all know that these phones are manufactured in China or you can say are rebranded Chinese phones but I think Micromax has proven by bringing devices like A52, A100, A90, A110, A90s, A25 etc..that they are indeed one of the top smartphone sellers in India. Karbonn on the other side is doing a decent job but has not yet brought phones like Micromax A110 and A90s.
We all know the truth about both of these sellers after sales service but again what are you expecting in this price range? If you handle these phones with care, they can easily last for more than a year or two.
Hope the above information will help you decide between Micromax A68 and Karbonn A15.
Gogi sir plz review this phone as quickly as possible because I want to confirm that their is a 3g or not?
No it’s not 3G but still looks better then A15 from karbonn as it has more free ram

Micromax A68 is the latest (low budget) smart phone having the features like 5MP Camera, dual SIM, 2 GB internal memory etc. I think to gift it to my bro on his b’day. So I just go through all online sites and compare its price. Rate is almost same in all sites. But I found that Shipping Charges are extra and on other site they provide only seller warranty.
On this site I found it for Rs. 6,299/- with manufacturer warranty, Bill and free Shipping.

I am really confused what to do. Finally I decide to take your help. Is it a good gift?
Can we expect a smartphone having 1gb RAM with dual core processor under 10-11k? and in what time we can expect such smartphone?
Hi gogi sir. Pls check and tell soon the micromax a68 is support the gps and 3g network pls tell me sir. Your review is must to help me and my friends. I’ll waiting.
It doesn’t support 3g..that’s been confirmed by many sites. But gps/a-gps is confusing….different sites have different opinions.. so am also looking for confirmation about the gps thing from some1 who has already got his hands on the set.
Hey Gogi bro. please tell me Karbonn a15 will be better or Micromax a68? Please bro reply i m really in a mess 🙁 And heavy games work on it smoothly?
a68 i think has better benchmarks…
if 3g is not ur thing..go fr a68 with d specs it can offer on such low price
Will you review this phone gogi sir?
Not sure yet.
gogi sir,plz give an in depth review on a68 asap….plz review its sound quality,gaming,display….also plz check if it has gps support???
Hey gogi which phone should I buy mmx a68 smarty 4 or karbonn a15 or should I wait for a phone with 1 GB ram as I am a heavy gamer also is there a phone under 11K which has 1GB ram a dual core processor.
Yash, better wait for until end of Jan 2013.
what is the probable reason for wait? is there will be a launch of such phone which is specified by yash? will it come till end of jan 2013?
Tushar, I have news about quad core by end of Jan though no confirmation yet.
Who do you think will be the probable introducer company of quad core phones?
I think either Micromax or ZOPO. But you never know there could be surprises from Spice, Karbonn and even iBall.
Sir, please review micromax a68 as soon as possible, display looks sharper than karbon a15.
Gogi
you are the best jobs for reviews for mobiles.
micromax done the good job now days.I am buy micromax a110 after seeing your review .and what happened I find a useful device it work nicely. now I want to buy micomax a68 .please review a68 please tall about screen quality of micromax a68.
A68 listed on flipkart
Do an unboxing of A68.
Micromax A101 (Black) on flipkart as coming soon. 512 MB RAM, 4 GB ROM.
What is the gpu of this fone? Please reply.
gogi even lava launched their 6300rs phone iris its got a5mpc am with flash n front cam too better check it out!!
A68 looks promising.. But, lack of 3g and af? wats the point of having a 5mp cam wid no af? they could’ve priced it 1k more and given 3g and af! BTW, is the canvas 3 or any other flagship from micromax coming out soon (with 1 gb ram)? the zopo leader is osm but then, it is chinese, so, no info abt the SAR value.. and the price… at 15k it is too much.. maybe 12-13 k would’ve been good!
I am using micromax a110. My headset button does nothing it simply answer and end a call.I’ve tried all apps that controls the button’s action,but no use. Is there any other solution for this……
Gogi sir please do an unboxing video of micromax A68 your videos are the best.
Confirmed a68 does not support 3g on Micromax website consedring this the phone price should be less than Rs 5000
What about ICS update for karbonn A9? will we get ?
Hey Gogi, Seems real competition has started! 1st Karbonn, 2nd MicroMax.
And now Lava launched Iris N400. Same specs but with 5mp autofocus cam and VGA front cam.
Available at flipkart for 6399/-
http://www.flipkart.com/lava-iris-n400/p/itmdfyszydchzrmh?pid=MOBDFYSNHV5E9A7S&ref=5e6f5b0b-75d2-4bc0-9c26-8b2f6cbd2096&srno=t_1&otracker=from-search&query=lava%20n400
Sir, how much ppi does it have.
Vikas its 233 ppi.
I think karbonn a15 is better than micromax a68 for gaming.
Hey gogi lava launched Iris N400 please check, Looks goods on paper but internal memory is low.
Surely there’s a War going on between Micromax & Karbonn. But neither of them hasn’t able to improve the battery life of their android phones.. 5 hrs is all they can give..
Hello, Commenting on your site for first time. I just like this site. Wish we had ‘forum’ for the site too. Had few questions, please answer. Does Micromax really manufacture phones themselves or are all of them Chinese imports? Kindly suggest, have budget of about 12thousand rupees, should I wait for Mediatek quad core phones / Jellybean phones or buy a dual core phones which are available these day? Which is better quality wise Zoppo or Micromax?
Sunny, no MMX and almost all other companies get their handsets manufactured in China. Better wait for a month or two as quadcore will made its way in early 2013. Zopo quality I found better than MMX (I have checked just one ZOPO handset so far).
Sunny,
Zopo has little better display quality and little better built quality but camera is not as good as MMX A110 as specified by many Zopo ZP900 Leader user and Gogi as well in his review.
Also Zopo is a very new brand so they still don’t have proper after sale service, I suggest do a good research before opting for any new brand.
There is no phone which is made in a single country except china produced.
even iphone hardware is also made in china. When you buy a phone its chipset will come from one company/country , incase of mmx its from Taiwan most of the times. GPS/bluetooth chip will come from soemwhere else . like this also on sw side different modules are written by different vendors & then finally one phone come to market after lot of testing. Hope I am right 🙂
Is it 3g or just 2g ?
If it has 3g then its better choice than karbonn I think as it has IPS display and better look wise. I am thinking of cancelling mine karbonn A15 order after seeing this.
like karbonn A21 ?
Gogi:
Again it looks as if Micromax is just waiting for Karbonn to launch 1st so they can release there handset to cripple Karbonn sale?
Karbonn launched A18 – then Micromax Launched A100
Karbonn launched A21 – then Micromax Launched A110
and now Karbonn launch A15 – then Micromax Launch A68???
So now even if Karbonn launches A24 we can wait for a week or 2 for little better Micromax version of Karbonn A24 😉
hey gogi IPC or IPS?? :p
Hi thanks corrected you know what :-).
Lava has launched a phone Lava Iris N400 with exactly same configuration except internal memory different. Can you review it and let me know which one to buy.
It is available in flipkart and snapdeal.
Yes, i have told you That Micromax Will Also Launch A68 Smarty But it Is Late by Micromax but no problem its okay!
Wireless Keyboard Whats that? Gogi.
Well Gogi, the price you listed are not correct as if LalajiOnline is not Good For Online Shopping but e.bay.in which is Genuine has priced 1K less at 6,499 which is good. What You say On it, Now Price Wise is also Good from Karbonn A15, So i think A68 wins, Looking forward to your reply
Link –
Well then its good price, but still need to confirm the specs.
I think its Not 3G If Not its a Hugeeeeeeeeeeee Disappointment!! 🙁
Shashank:
Still price difference is a lot. Bought Karbonn A15 last week for my aunt for Rs 4800 however now I am getting it for Rs 4400(with discounts) which is coming to around Rs 2000 less then Micromax A68.
I think A68 will be much cheaper then ebay.in price tag once it is launched in more websites else with just improvement in camera it will be difficult to beat Karbonn A15 with this price difference.
Where do you live and can I also get it for that rate or around that rate?
@Atif You are so Lucky you are getting A15 for 4800 and here in my city These handset Prices Are Raising to high, here we can only dream about these Price, here Shopkeeper tell the prices which are above from Online store Like My Karboon A7+ for 7,500 way high, but it Surely Lacks in 3g which is disappointment! and i think no front camera.
Shashank:
Buddy I have bought from Homeshop18.com, I know it was a good deal 🙂
@Atif: hows the phone? Did u face any problems till now? Generally HS18 will give this much discount for defective items only.So many negative reviews all over net.pls check all options and confirm so that I can go ahead with my purchase.1300 off 5800 is really a cracker deal.
Hi Atif, is it that the phone is working fine in all aspect without any issues.
-Ankit
4400 !! Where you got your A15? It is priced over 5800 on all sites.
No idea could be anything, like Bluetooth / Wi-Fi keyword support or an app that can turn your phone into a wireless keyboard.
Looks like Samsung galaxy series :p
Karbonn is winner here 🙂
By the way i am waiting for next Karbonn Flagship OR Micromax Canvas 3 😀
Hey gogi, I JUST NOT UNDERSTOOD WHAT IS GOING ON, BOTH A15 and A68 will kill A9+, A11 then how is possible to launch similar specification in less price. These handset may lower in performance. And what do you think about ICS update for karbonn A9 After launching A15.
Dinesh if you look closely there are differences, but I still need confirmation on the specs.
Better coice is A11.
I guess even the company websites are not updated so quickly as you update about their products.
Hi,
Gogi Sir tussi toh great ho!!! No one else has ever given so quick updates about new launches and unboxing reviews other than you.
Hats off to you.
Thank you once again.
Shashwat
