Micromax A89 is another Ninja model powered by dual core processor clocked at 1GHz with a 4 inch touch screen display running Android 4.0 OS. The A89 model has just been added on the Micromax info website with limited details.
We are going to see a lot more dual core handsets in coming days, and most of the time the handsets are, silently launched. The A89 details are now updated on the Micromax Info website (click here). We do not know the availability date and the price.
The MMX A89 is with a 10.1 cm screen (4 inches) with multi touch support. I think it will come with an 800×480 pixels resolution. The handset has got a curvy design with 3 touch sensitive buttons on the front.
The A89 sails on a 1GHz dual core processor, now probably it could be MediaTek or qualcomm processor, so far Micromax have been using the MediaTek dual core processors. The specs are of lower end – the handset comes with 3MP fixed focus camera. I believe the RAM will be 512MB and internal storage may be 4GB or less.
As for connectivity it should support dual SIM, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, micro USB port and 3.5m jack. Battery info is not available but I guess will be around 1500 mAh. Stay tuned for more updates on the Micromax A89.

pls suggest me , how to connect pen drive to ninjaA89 micromax
pls suggest me , how to connect pen drive to ninjaA89 micromax
Does MMX A89 support usb through OTG Cable ?
If not is there any way to support it?
please tell me does it supports flip to silent feature?
hello friends, mr gogi,
can you please tell me how to connect pen drive to a87 ? can u please check and let us all know
Can we connect MMX A89 with pendrive?
For me Its a supreb android phone……..People having issue with internal memory, low ram, or large hd gamds, yes you can play large hd games over 2.5gb , i have played, you just have to increase ram, increase internal memory, and install chainfire 3d pro and its plugin, go to the http://www.andropark.com website there you will find these technology on related query or search in google. Even you also can flash with stock rom for better experience, change the theme and lots more. Those process require rooted device and u should have installed your own cwm recovery . I have tried the otg is not supported.the main problem is battery backup and wi-fi. but 6299rs is not bad deal . But you cant expect too much.cause its a low cost android phone, but you can make it better, if you have lots of technical knowledge about android…you can make it faster, better also the perfect.one.

Please answer me as quick as possible .

Thank you
Mr.Gogi, What about Micromax A91?
Can you check Micromax A89 has OTG cable support or not?
yes..
The stock device does not support otg, as I have checked. I haven’t rooted it yet.
This is strange because hardware-wise it is very similar to canvas 2 , which does support otg.
Sir
Hi,
I am confused in selection between MMX A89, Xolo A700 & this Lava Iris 454. The specs look pretty much similar. I read some reviews that Mmx & Xolo A700 has low battery backup & phone heat up during calling, surfing & gaming etc {all mentioned in user reviews at you site}. Are there any other issues to look for?
Based on above things which one should I go for.
Please give your expert advice.
Dear Gogi sir
please give information about the heating problems & battery back up of mmxa89 & xolo a700. I have gone through the review of both phones at you site & much impressed the way you elaborated the things. The aforementioned problems are much discussed in user reviews of both sets. Please help us by your expert advice.
There are users who are complaining am not sure if its an issues with every handset. But heat-up depends on your usage / connectivity and environment. Example if you are in the open directly under the sun, try taking some photos and within few minutes you will feel the handset heating up much faster. Try the same in a room and no such issue. I have seen this issue with many handsets even big brands. The new phones now come with a sponge type stuff in the back cover that helps absorbs heat and reduces heat buildup.
Thanks a lo,t dear sir,
How is the life of battery in these phones & one thing that can’t be ignored is very slow wifi speed of mmx 89.
have you noticed the dump wifi performance of mmxa89
Your guidance is the only thing that will help me choose to go either for xolo a700 or mmx a89.
Be nice to respond
Hi Wi-fi is good on both almost same. Note that the Wi-Fi module is the same on these handsets so performance will be the same. Wi-Fi performance also depends on how the OS has been tweaked. But over all I did not find any issue with the Wi-Fi. I use the Wi-Fi for downloading benchmark apps on every handset.
thank you very much Gogi sir.
One issue still left is the battery life- who wiil last longer in same working circumstances?
A700=1700mah
a89=1450
but screen size & resolutions are higher on A700. Does the size matters here?

Bought a Micromax A89 Ninja on the holy occasion of Saraswati Pooja…!!
I have also bought a OTG cable for data transfer via USB drive but I do not Know how to configure this on A89..!!
Help required…!!
Sonu, I am not sure if OTG will work on the phone, it is software controlled if enabled it will work, just connect the OTG cable and on the other end the USB drive and go to file manager and see if you can see the external drive. Try using lower capacity pen drive like 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32GB see if that works cause there is a limit to the drive space that can be accessed.
Hey Gogi Now the A9+ price is dropped to ₹6500 and Micromax A89 Ninja is also in the same price range…
Out of both devices which on will you recommend to buy….???
Sonu, the A9+ is with Qualcomm Snapdragon Scorpion processor, I think it cannot play 720p videos but it has 5MP Auto focus camera which is a slight advantage as compared to A89, so depending on your need if you want to go with the camera and miss out 720p videos playback.
Thanks A lot Gogi Bro…!!

Ninja A27 swipe and share added in micromaxinfo, please review it sir
As I see on micromax site that a89 ninja has front camera but ur unboxing video there is no f. f. camera what’s surely.
In camera mode you can see there is no front camera switch option.
Now available at flipkart at 6190… should I buy it or not plz reply gogi sir.
Buy it for the price its really good.
Thank you very much for the reply..
Sir one last question hd gaming on this phone is good not…plz reply.
Gogi sir you are awesome pls review spice nhance.
I am really happy with the phone MMX a89… it has a better benchmark results than a68 smarty… it scored 2700 in quadrant standard …. 6873 on antutu benchmark… and on nenamark it showed 27.4 fps…. it runs temple run 2 very smoothly without any lags… i think this is a good phone to buy at this price tag….
Ya it’s really nice phone. its runs many games very smoothly like temple run 2. But i m very shocked it runs shadow gun without any lags with better graphics.
You can say it cavas 2 mini coz excluding some features it really a good device.
