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.
how to connect pen drive using otg cable ?
hi sir,
have u tried connecting otg cable to a89?? is der any issue in rooting the device.??
Can I install apps in SD card instead of internal memory. Because I want to run NFS MW and it is around 2.0 GB .
Please answer me as quick as possible .
Mail me this answer.
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…!!

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.

Karbonn ??????
Where is karbonn ?????
Good news
Micromax a89 is on flipkart and univercell websites
Price is 6200 on both of them
Gogi waiting for your review
What the hell is micromax no flash?
Hey Just go for A84 which is just Rs. 6999 on Flipkart!!
does it support skype???
@jacks, can you give a frank and detailed review
I would say its very good phone.. so far I am happy with it. If you are planning to buy, just go for it.
I have purchased this phone @6200 from mmx showroom.
Which state … and how is the phone behaving?
I have purchased A89 from Ahmedabad.
The phone is really good.. Touch is very smooth, screen display looks sharp and very clear (I think becoz of WVGA? not sure). Phone response is quick. I like the look & feel, it has 3 touch buttons at the bottom of screen and it looks like samsung 🙂
Camera quality is what you have to compromise (3 MP without front cam and without flash). Looking at the price, I think its worth to BUY.
Thanks for the reply … will get it on monday … btw can u confirm if google play store is pre-installed or not … and what are the type of sensors available?
Google play store is there and I think it has only gravity sensor.
Don’t have front camera? ok for the price tag its ok I think.
Dear Jack..!!
Is it really able to play 720p MP4 videos and HD games well as it is said in their website…??
and make me sure that it has secondary camera or not…??
Regarding the specs provided this phone is very similar to Karbonn A15.
So help me decide…!!
I have tried to play MP4 HD video, and it runs smooth.
There is NO front cam.
Comparing with Karbonn A15,
=> Process is dual core in mmx A89 which is not the case for Karbonn A15.
=> Display colors and WVGA screen is better in mmx A89 compared to Karbonn A15.
how’s d performance n does it support 3g video call???
Performance is really good, no lag time. It supports 3g video call but I think without front cam it is of no use.
It is available in “my virtual plaza” for 6299
Gogi please review some of spice recently launched phones.
And becoming the global king, kudos Micromax, our best wishes are always there with you since we have trusted the brand when it was not really a brand we feel good when the it is growing, one expectation is to maintain the quality and service standards and within the budget.
Gogi it is available in stores at a price of 6000.
Varun, I am getting a review unit tomorrow. So review will be day after. Tomorrow will upload Byond B63 review.
I m eagerly waiting for your review 🙂
Bro, so it has same processor and gpu like in mmx canvas 2 phone?
Does it have Front CAM?
I HAVE PROBLEM IN xperia neo l in gallery when i browse pic. it shows deleted pic. first than the pic ? what is this any problem in system ? please tell me
This phone looks like a junior Canvas 2 on specs and appearance. Am i right gogi?
The A89 review tomorrow :-).
yeepee.. : )
Gogiji , which is the cheapest phone with acceptable quality 720p video recording.
Not sure about videocon A30 but the Celkon A200 is the best you can get for now.
Called up the number given on Celkon website for the service center, told me they are not servicing Celkon mobiles. At Kochi. Same situation with Karbonn, so cant even buy from online stores.
Aaw….i was waiting for a ninja 5 with 5 inch screen
Go for a116… wait 10 days more..
Then It will be Canvas series not Ninja Series. 🙂
Does it have native 3g video calling
sir, i m so confused what should i go for
Micromax A89
Celkon A200
XOLO A500
Videocon A30
Also, add Spice Stellar Nhance to your options.
Go for Celkon a200.
Hi guys. What do you think what will be the price of this A89 Ninja? And also do anyone know if there is any stock of MMX A68?
Aha! … Finally the “Myphone 848i Duo” makes its appearance courtesy: Micromax. We’ve all seen the A68 (which was the Myphone 848)
Hi gogi micromax a101 with dual core processor is available on saholic for 9999 pls update it.
Gogi sir, please review this phone. Do you think it will be better than Karbonn a15?
Bro will you review it?
you will get one new canvas in every 2 month oh my god looks like micromax will through the Samsung out of race in India !! Happy for an indian company Competing with Global King :):)
Yes, micromax all the best.
5900 this will be price to shop keepers so you can expect it at 6200-6500 Rs
Hey gogi specs updated check it
Thanks Yash, have updated.
I believe the processor to be speedstrum as they have made around 10 million $ investment to tie-up with micromax.
AFAIK Spreadtrum doesn’t have any dualcore processor. Only single core Cortex A5 based SC/SP series processors. And Spreadtrum’s solution is mainly aimed at 100$/5k mobiles.
I spotted this phone at Deccan in Pune. Battery is 1450 mAh. Printed price was Rs. 8999. And sellar was ready to give it at Rs.8900. I think price would be less when it becomes available online.
After the launch of quad core A116, release of A89 is useless. I think in this way, what do you all think friends?
Both are different price segments..A116 under 15k and A89 under 7K (hopefully) each will dominate their own segments 🙂
Plz review it when you get it.
These Indian manufacturers like micromax,karbonn is keeping gogi on toes :)..Every other day they are launching a mobile which is making gogi to come up with a post 🙂
Spice Stellar Nhance Mi-435 (Rs. 7199)
* Dual Core SnapDragon S4 MSM8225
* Display Color = 16 Million (4 inch, 480 x 800)
* Camera = 8 [Auto Focus] and 1.3 MP
* Video Playback = 1080p
* Bluetooth = 3.0
* Battery = 1500
——————————————————–
Micromax Ninja A89 (Rs. Un-Known)
* Dual Core Mediatek MT6577
* Display Color = 262 K (4 inch, 480 x 800)
* Camera = 3 [Fixed Focus] and 0.3 (Not sure)
* Video Playback = 720p
* Bluetooth = 2.1
* Battery = 1450 mAh
———————————————————
Spice Stellar Nhance Mi-435 is better than Ninja A89 🙂
I dont think a Adreno 203 in Spice would be able to play 1080p. Check again! Micromax offers a much better brand value.
Ok. Lets suppose spice can not play 1080p video, then what about other features: 8MP Camera, Color etc??? Micromax is acting like Samsung by giving only 3MP Camera. If Micromax will price it around 5k, then ok, otherwise total waste in front of Spice Mi-435, Celkon A200 and Videocon A30.
Please gogi sir…please review MMX A54 & MMX A30
Will it support 3G
Does it have front cam, iam just waiting for this from long time as per my budget. In one case i think Micromax A80 was better option, but its too weight compare to other slim mobiles.
Review coming up soon.
Only question is will ICS survive on 512MB of RAM even with a Dual Core Processor? Will games like NFS, Blood & Glory, FL Commando run properly. Waiting for your review. Planning to get it for wife as her first ever Android.
Just check price in Kolkata Rs. 6999/- (All inclusive)
I believe that since it is a phone of the ninja series the price must be 6 to 6.5k as the price of the phones of ninja series was sub 5 to 6k.
Gogi before this many models of ninja have been launched each was priced below 6k so do you think it will follow the same legacy and if that’s the case it will be the cheapest dual core phone in the market
Smarty a68 mmx is better then this 5mp cam hd video recording, powervx gpu..512mb ram…but only one issue single core..
Hi..You are right bro. Actually i tried my best to find the MMX A68 model online and offline but all in vein. Some dealers told me the company has stopped manufacturing this model. So i am going for this one(As my secondary phone). And also it is available online for 6200Rs. Flipkart, infibeam etc.. And also it supports 3G, 720p video playback, 2.07GB storage…
Gogi will you review spice stellar nhance?
Dear Gogi sir, do u think mmx keep always a con with their phones example this phone had only 3mp camera and other companies giving much better than this is in’t it?
Thanks, Gogi for the update. I think it will be released to compete with low-cost dual-core phones, we have seen, like Xolo A500, Videocon A30, Celkon A200, and Spice Stellar Nhance. I think it’s a good move by Micromax.
Gogi bro, the link(click here) u given is not working.
Thanks its fixed now.
Gogi what do you think will be the price of this phone?
Varun I think under 7500.
Sorry. Actually the price is under 6200Rs..
Another piece of sh**.
Micromax is like Samsung.
Another day-Another galaxy…
Now,another day-another Ninja…
:/
Nothing like anything, really Micromax will do better thing.
Micromax has adopted the same market strategy as Samsung: mobile for every taste and kind of peoples. Currently MMX has more variants than i guess Karbonn & Spice or any other manufacturer combined and the thing is they are not going to stop anytime soon.
Looking at the spec, it can turn out to be cheapest dualcore mobile (my safe bet is a pricetag of below 7k).
