So the word is finally out the Micromax A90 superfone has been launched for a price of Rs. 12,990. The A90 comes with 1 GHz processor, ICS OS, 8MP camera and WVGA touchscreen. Some of the specifications are still incomplete and will update it once I get the confirmation.
Okay the Micromax A90 also called Micromax Superfone Pixel sport s a 4.3 inch screen, this is slightly bigger than the Spice mi-425 and Karbonn A9. The price is much more that these two brands because of the 8MP camera and the Super AMOLED screen. Resolution however is at 800×480 (WVGA).
The A90 is powered by a 1GHz processor with dual SIM support. The processor is dual core. A camera of 8 megapixels is just too good for the price. It is supported by a rear LED flash and a front VGA camera (0.3MP). The 8MP auto focus camera will come with many features and probably support HD video recording.
Other features are 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3.5 mm jack and microSD support. The phone will come with 512MB RAM. The price is at Rs. 12,990.
The Micromax A90 will run on a 1600 mAh li-ion battery with talktime of about 5 hours and a standby time of about a week. The mAh does seem less as compared with Spice Mi-425. We should see the phone listed on the Micromax site / other online stores in few days.
Micromax is also planning to launch Ninja 3.5 for Rs. 5,000 and Ninja 4.0 for Rs 6,000.
Hello Gogi Sir, Can U tell me how can i contact with Micromax Senior Officers regarding replacement of my Canvas Magnus A117 ?
Hi gogi, how much internal storage does this phone have? Couldnt find this info even on their own website :/
Whenever I am using net on A90 and while playing games it gets heat at the top is it normal? or is there any problem?
If you are using for a longer time yes it will.
Micromax A90 doesn’t supports adobe flashplayer.how can I install on this divice.plz give me advice
Hey gogi, plz tell me, which is better smartphone micromax a90 or a100 or any other phone, my budget 12 to 13k.
Harsh, A110 is already showing up and A90i (dual core) too has started showing, you can go for either of the two.
Hey Gogi
I m experiencing some problems in the gps of Micromax a90… Whenever i use google maps its does find my location and still shows searching for gps in the notifications…
And it doesn't find the location on Facebook and Foursquare apps.
Please help
Hi please go through the comments.
Hi Gogi, I didn't find any response to the above query regarding GPS not working. I'm facing similar issues in A100.
Vishu, I have not heard of any GPS problem on A100. But try downloading the GPS status from google play and see if the app can get a fix on the GPS signal, you can use any other GPS app too. If the GPS does get a fix then its the issue with Google Maps, you can get it rectified from the Micromax Service center.
No, I didn't get any related comments.
Please can you copy paste or give me the link
Thanks!
Shantanu, please check here http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a90-review.html
Hi Gogi,
Any update on MM A90's supply. Not finding in any store at all, even on online portals. Have they stopped it or upgrading for a higher version.
Regards,
Aravinda
The delivery will start soon. I think by end of Sept, or much earlier.
hi gogi.
when ninja 3.5 and 4.0 wil come into the market and online stores. And plz tell specifications of both of them.
Please search my site for Micromax Ninja, you will get the links to Ninja 3 and 4. Ninja 3.5 is also called Ninja 3.
Karbonn A18 has 512 MB Ram…not 1 GB Ram. Why Karbonn Cant match with Micromax A90 is Becasue of AMOLED Screen. (Technology wise Amoled screens are far superior to WVGA, IPS Screen. See both sidebyside you will find why MM is offered at Rs.3000 More still people flocking at it. AMOLED (aka Super Amoled by samsung) is the future……you will get live colors !! ….Go for A 90…if you wait a month you can get A90 for 11 or 10 K when dual core is released!
pls update if anyone has seen the dual core version of A90 in market, or any other phone within 15k with dual core+ amoled screen + 8MP camera. either windows or android.
Hi Gogi,
Like many others, I am also a bit confused in making a choice between A90 and A100. Read at a few places that the main drawback of A100 is that the screen is scratch prone, whereas A90 has a gorilla glass. Can you please confirm this. Also whats your final verdict, which one to go for ?
Thanks
Ashutosh
Ashutosh, the A90 is my choice even if A100 came with a protective glass still the A90 is the best, it competes (look wise) with Apple / Samsung.
Hi Gogi,
Another good news. Karbonn has responded to MMX A90 & A100.
KARBONN A18 is out there at Flipkart today at Rs. 9700/-. Features are –
4.3" IPS display- 480 x 800 Resolution
1 GB on board memory & 1GB OF RAM
Have a look at
http://www.flipkart.com/karbonn-a18-mobile-phone/…
I think this will definitely keep you busy again for next couple of days. Also, waiting for the A90 review.
Thanks Deepak and the A90 video review is already live.
Hey gogi can you plz ans my question.
I plan to buy sony xperia miro when it launches in India, but after having a look at micromax A90's specs I would like to purchase it.
I don't like to change my phones frequently and plan to use them for 2-3 years, hence i would want my phone to be durable. Keeping this in mind which one would you recommend out of the two?
Not sure about the Miro yet, but A90 review is almost done will be up today, am uploading videos. A90 is really good but too pricey.
Guys is there any budget MTK 6577 dual core phone available in Indian markets ?
Gogi how do you compare xfab phablet with this?
I have yet to get the A90 and also will be getting a review piece of Wammy Phablet. So by next week I should be able to put both the reviews.
Can you tell me which is best for hd gaming a90 or a100?
The benchmark score was higher on A90 and it has Amoled screen so picture quality will be good. However the handset I feel is overpriced I have ordered the A90 and as per the tracking code I will be getting the delivery tomorrow. I will soon put up a review soon. Those using A100 have mentioned that the HD games worked well. A100 has its own advantage ie. the 5 inch screen and the price.
hi anand regarding your query for xiaomi, its to be launched in october for now in china only and the xiami 1 in september but they are planning to launch their phones in other countries too, no idea when they plan to launch in india. What i find really funny is most of smartphones launched in india are chinese rebranded but brands like xiaomi, zte, meizu dont launch their phones in india which is nearest to china and they could literally capture the indian market coz their phones are damn good with competitive prices. Dont u think gogi, chinese companies might be missing a big market by not launching their phones in india?
pawandeep, Chinese companies cannot do it alone they will need to partnership with Indian counterparts. But I think they are happy as freelancers that way they can server multiple customers.
No what I meant was like huawei releases their phone in India, so should other companies like meizu, xiaomi etc. that would be awesome wouldn't it to get great phones at decent prices. If huawei can sell their phones directly in India why don't other Chinese companies follow.
I really do agree with what Pawandeep says. I don't know why chinese companies are not directly launching their handsets like what other brands such as Smasung, HTC, LG are doing. If they launched, then these international companies then the customers in India have more options. Or is there any law which prohibits them to hit the Indian markets directly? @Pawandeep and Gogi.
Should I wait for ninja 3 or 4 or go for a52 …my budget is around 5.5k
Ankur if you don't need a phone urgently, wait.
Ankur My Advice To you Wait Currently a52 is not the best android phone New Ninja Phone are Much Upgradable then a52 there specification are –
It Is Confirmed that Ninja 3.5 & 4.0 Will Launch In September Month and their specification are as Follow -:
1 Processor- Both will Clocked at 1Ghz and 512 Mb Ram
2 Memory – No News For Internal memory, Expendables upto 32Gb
3 Network – It is Said That Ninja 4.0 have Dual sim and 3G Capability,but Ninja 3.5 Will Have Only One Sim Slot ( Not Confirmed )
4 Camera – Both will have 5Mp camera without Flash, No Secondary camera
5 Display – Ninja 3.5 Will have 3.5 Inch 320×480 pixels TFT, While Ninja 4.0 Comes with 4 inch – 480×800 pixels- TFT Display
6 Operating System – Both will Worked on Android 2.3.6
7 No News About Chipset And Battery Capability
8 Connectivity – Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G Present in Ninja 4.0
9 Price – Ninja 3.5 will Cost you About Rs 5,000 And Ninja 4.0 will Cost at 6,000
Thanks shashank for your advice really and for the great info, I will wait 🙂
Best of Luck
I called NCarry today and they confirmed A90 its single core.
Pawandeep, You might be right. But, I think low cost Dual core phone in china was launched 3 -4 months back at 15k price tag. So, I think Budget Quad core phone will come to India in next 3 months or so. At that time, 17k might look too much for it cause Dual Core phones will be available at 12-13k. Although not yet available, Spice Mi 500 was announced for 12k with Dual core. It is likely to be released somewhere in September or so. Also, at that time, Xiomi or HDC may would have released Four Core Processor with 12 odd MP Cam, 3GB RAM & much more at 17-18k.
I short, I think its an endless process. Any mobile from any brand you buy, might look old fashioned (Specs wise) within a short period of say 2 months or so. This is going to be a trend in this fastly changing Gadget world. Don't you think so Gogi?
Agree Deepak – and the famous saying goes again "The best handset will come into the market when you actually buy one!".
ha..haa I totally agree! And, nobody will launch the perfect phone, because if they do it then they would have to stop the mobile production..
So, just think what you want to be in your mobile. Like:
1. Do we really play games always? no!
2. Do we watch videos always? no!
3. Do we use GPRS/Internet? 50-50%, and if you are going to use a smartphone the you should use the Internet otherwise no use of smartphone (May be I am wrong on this issue, because in your phone you can find so many things to use smartly)
Below things we use mostly:
1. Making Calls and sending Messages.
2. E-books to read, Dictionary
3. Calculator, FM, Music Player.
4. Other Call functions and Messages settings tools
5. Writing Notes
6. Etc.
Thanks,
I have forgot some imp. things:
Screen quality and size,
Good Battery life
Nice headphones
Good Looking Phone
Nokia ? You think now Nokia Will bring Android phone in market! Still I don't think so.
Hi guys some good news not confirmed yet. The display sample of A90 are single core but the retail version will come with dual core processor.
Hi All,
I am also looking for a phone with big screen for my Big Bro and got to know about micromax latest launches i.e. A90 & A100. Waiting for full review of both the phones so that I can take a decision. In the igyaan video review for A90 that guy clearly stated that the retails version of A90 phone would come with Dual core processor.
Just to add to my earlier post regarding new phones this is what micromax is up against: 4.3-inch 720p HD IPS touchscreen, quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB flash storage, 2MP camera (front) and 8MP rear camera with HD videos support. MIUI custom ROM that is based on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean APQ8064 is Qualcomm’s latest quad-core chip (Krait platform) and comes with its Adreno 320 graphics processor. It increase graphics processing power which is comparable to Xbox 360. Screen resolution 1280 x 720 and Pixel density341 PPI which is retina display at $310 and micromax is launching a single core mediatek 6575 phone at $234 dollars. Sign of things to come, I m just telling you folks this coz apparently the price seems low but when compared to other launches this seems outdated and extremely overpriced. So it makes sense to wait coz 17000 for a quad core phone is way more value for money than a single core mediatek phone at 13000. Apparently xiaomi phone 2 is launched by china telecom which is same company which is providing processor to micromax a90. What do you think gogi? I value your opinion so would like you to comment a bit on what I am trying to say.
Pawandeep, I agree with new tech the older one will be push towards the low cost category. Hard to find a dual core processor under 13K for now. There will be a lot of new models coming up in august / September. I am not sure if we can get a quad core for around 17K.
the xiaomi phone 2 is a quad core phone costing 310 dollars which comes to around 17000 and its not far that other handset manufacturers follow the lead in china and release them elsewhere too. http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/16/xiaomi-phone-2…
Yes I know about this news, but I think it be more than 17K in India, let see.
@Pawandep,
When this phone is going to be released? How can I buy in my city and I am living in Bangalore. Does it support dual sim?
To be frank, we really don't need a quad core processors. When dual core processors are enough.
After talking to Gogi, i really feel A90 is a great device but couldn't find it anywhere.. 🙁
Hi Deepak,
Have found some other details or experiences its cons or pros? Please share with us. Some site says that A100 has FM Recording function. Is the screen resolution great? Please share your great moments. Thanks.
i just have a suggestion for all folks who are waiting for good phones at lower prices with nice specifictions. The IFA congress for android will be on 5th septmber along with nokia press conference on same day and iphone 5 is going to be launched on september 12. Considering there will be a lot of new releases the existing phones will be cheaper and there will be more entry level phones with ICS (single core) that would be available at Rs.13000 to 14000 range with qualcomm processors. Also we have to see what karbonn comes up with in response to a90 and 100. So i would think it would be pertinent to wait another 15 days to take a decision since there will be lot more choices and we hv already waited 2 months for karbonn and micromax phones so why not another few days. The xiomi quad core is available at 310 dollars which is around 17000 so if quad core can be available at 17000 i presume u can get dual core at around 15000 and single core at around 12000 rupees with reputed handset makers! What do u think gogi? i just hv a hunch u will get more bang for buck handsets after IFA congress with reputed handset makers
Yes dual core will be around 15K. There will be a lot more after IFA, so let's wait and watch.
I have found some details about processors here: http://www.qualcomm.co.in/products/snapdragon#con…
Somebody please explain here the details about processors so that user can have knowledge about processors and can choose good one.
Please mention which processor is good or best for performances or Call all processors are best for high-end mobiles.
Thanks,
Anant, most phones today are powered by snapdragon processors you can get more info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_%28system…
No prob Pawandeep. But please note that it is Qualcomm SCORPION & not Qualcomm SNAPDRAGON. Though I really don't know the exact technical or performance wise difference between these two.
Deepak, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_%28system…
Product is MSM7627A
technology – 45 nm – ARMv7
CPU speed – 0.8-1.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A5
CPU cache L2 256KB
GPU: Adreno 200 (enhanced)
released in Q4 2011.
Other models that use the same are HTC Desire VC T328d / Huawei Ascend C8812.
@deepak, ►A100◄
1. Can we use front camera for video chat via skype/gtalk?
2. Can i use all apps from play store? Or any incompatibility issue?
3. do this mobile heat up?
I was planning to buy a cheap 3G tab for 10k. But i think this A100 is a good deal. What you guys will suggest?
oh and btw i just checked micromax facebook page once again and it seems deepak is right abt the qualcomm processor, its downright hilarious and stupid on micromax's part to put in a qualcomm processor on a100 which is a lower end device and which i think is going to be a blockbuster hit, and to put in a lowly mediatek 6575 processor on micromax a90 which is a higher end phone. Considering the price of a90 it should hv been mediatek 6577 dual core even if not qualcomm and i have my doubts abt this handset selling as well as a100, coz sony are going to launch experia j with ics 4.0 , 4 inch screen snapdragon 1ghz processor at 14000 and which seems much better value for money. What do u think gogi? a100 a sure hit and a90 a miss coz of lack of common sense from micromax?
Well for now it looks like, but I have already ordered A90 so let me check it once I get the delivery. A100 surely looks like a good buy.
@Gogi, you buy phone for reviewing. From where iGYAN get cellphone from first day of launching?
Kumar, no idea, but I am in Navi Mumbai, and I have checked many local store / malls. Its faster for me to get the handset online rather wait for when it hits the malls.
hi gogi, i hv just seen the hardware details, benchmark test and multi touch video from igyaan on youtube and it is clearly mentioned in hardware that micromax a90 is a mediatek 6575 processor single core, it scrores 2543 on quadrant benchmark and 24.3 on ninamark and AN TU TU Benchmark is 3887 and 3 on touch screen points. Its hard to believe that a higher end phone like a90 has mediatek 6575 processor (single core) confirmed, while a100 has a snapdragon qualcomm processor (single core), so i would still take some time to decide on buying handset coz i somehow still think it is impossible that micromax put in a qualcomm processor on lower end device like a100 and mediatek processor on higher end device like a90. Since it is confirmed that micromax a90 has mediatek 6575 processor i think price of a90 is not worth more than 10000 at maximum. This is the video showing hardware details of micromax a90 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnQmHZyegLs&fe…
What do you think, which model should we buy, A100 or A90?
It is hard to expect to get all standard features in low price! isn't it?
I think a100 is a better value for money proposition considering the qualcomm processor but before rushing in to buy it i would like to wait a cpl more days for karbonn to respond with their handsets and we hv IFA congress and nokia conference on September 5 whereby more models will be launched including xperia j which I think would be around 13000 with snapdragon 7627 processor with ics and 4 inch screen comparable to a90. I personally would wait a cpl of days since I have already waited a lot for these handsets to get the best deal.
Hey gogi,
Just happened to see a video of A90's hardware details and benchmarks. Like the A100 even this has an ARM v7 1Ghz Single core processor with PowerVR SGX541 GPU. 480X782 pixels screen resolution and 3 multi-touch points.
BREAKING NEWS : Ajay Sharma Head Of Micromax Smartphone Says "the company is targeting to capture 10 percent of the smartphone market. To achieve this target the company plans to launch at least one smartphone every month for the rest of the year". It Will Be Icing on a Cake, You Get To see new Smartphone Per Month.
Shashank, they can launch 1 phone per month but the specs will be nothing new, I mean they will keep shuffling features. Example look at A50, A52, A56.
Yaaa! You Are Right. But I Think From Now On all New Micromax SmartPhone Will include ICS Android Operating system.
please review Blu Vivo 4.3 looks better than mmx 90.
Hii gogi 🙂
Why micromax not doing much publicity about A100 which has a 5 inch screen? It hasnt been launched or what?
It's already launched and you can even buy it online – the link is available from Micromaxinfo website.
One most Important thing is that the Processor is a Single Core & not Dual one which means MMX is lying at their FB Page.
Deepak, I am not sure yet, but we have seen many times before the MM site does not give full detailed specs and in most cases there are errors (like the A100 had 8MP camera mentioned for few days – now its fixed).
Hi Gogi, yesterday I purchased the A100 from the local store here in Kolhapur (Maharashtra). After reviewing it for overnight, giving herewith some more details which I think might be helpful to take the decision for the people interested in it.
1. Fortunately it has Qualcomm Scorpion chipset with ARM V7 clocked at 1Gz. (Its not MEDIATEK. Don't really know about A90 though.)
2. The GPU though is not as expected. Its ADRENO 200. But still I didn't found any problems in playing popular games like Temple Run, Angry Birds, Agneepath & also didn't found anything lacking even with HD games.
3. I was particularly worried about the display details. But I can tell you that it doesn't look too bad. Rather its really worth a price. The Display is 4.9" WVGA with 480 x 782 pixel resolution with a Density of 240 ppi & a refresh rate of 60.
4. I also conducted the performance tests where QUADRANT Benchmark resulted in 2075 whereas AN TU TU Benchmark gave a score of 2733. Frankly speaking, I really don't know the details of these tests & I think Gogi you can judge it properly. I am just putting the results here.
5. The on board memory is 1.5 GB & as expected the RAM is 512 MB.
6. The Battery is 2000 mAH. Can't really confirm about the performance but I think it is quite good enough to cater minimum 1 day for the heavy users.
7. Rear Camera is 5 MP Autofocus with LED Flash & the results are similar to KARBONN A9.
8. A lot of guys were doubtful but be assured that it has got a 0.3 MP Front Cam.
9. Good thing is that it has dual MICROPHONE for Noise cancellation.
10. The regular features like G-sensor, Light & Proximity sensor,
Bluetooth 3.0, WIFI b/g/n, etc. are there.
11. I can tell you that using the ICS really makes delightful. Its really wonderful experience as I haven't used ICS before.
12. The Loudspeaker quality is very good & smooth.
13. A disappointing thing is that it can play HD videos only upto 720p. Full HD 1080p videos were not able to play.
14. And last but not the least thing that Build quality is really nice as it is always with MMX. In spite of such a big screen, its really very easy to hold it in the hands. The Back cover adds beauty to the Handset with its Soft Satin Finish.
Overall, I think its a very good deal especially at 10k & particularly for the people who love the BIGGGGGG Screen.
wow cool thanks Deepak, I have completed writing the review (in general) thanks for the input will use it for the review. Seems like a good phone.
Hi Deepak,
Thanks for your review on A100. I am going to ask a few details about this phone. I hope you would answer them as soon as possible, because I am eagerly waiting to buy this phone.
1) Can the FM could be played on speaker phone?
2) How is the Screen quality/visibility (especially in sun-light) ?
3) How GPRS/Internet works?
4) Have you seen A90 in the shop? and which would you recommend to buy?
5) Please check video recording and update us.
6) What is the price in market?
7) Please check Call quality.
For now this is enough. Please post your reply and help us to make decisions.
Thanks,
Hi Anantkumar,
Let me clear one by one.
1. Yes, the FM can be played both on Earphone & Loudspeaker & the reception of signals is very good.
2. As I told, I was also really doubtful about the Screen quality before choosing this one. But I can tell you that its very good in normal circumstances. If you are using it under the sunlight, you have to keep the brightness level upto full. This gives good results. The touch response, Pinch to zoom & shuffling the screens is flawless.
3. Internet also works at good speed & I haven't seen any break-up of links during surfing as well as downloading.
4. A90 is not yet available in any retail outlet atleast here in Kolhapur. So hasn't got any hands on it. I think once Gogi gets hands on it, he will be able to recommend you which one to by. But, I am sure that both these handsets will go out of stock soon.
5. Thank you for reminding me about this point. After your query, I shuffled through various Camera & Camcorder settings. Exciting thing is that the 5 MP rear camera can capture 720p HD quality still photos & the Camcorder also can shoot videos in 480p HD quality. I tried with both of them & I can tell you that the results are too good as compared to SPICE Mi 425 or KARBONN A9.
6. I got it yesterday for Rs. 9,900 but when my friend purchased it today, the price is already gone to Rs. 10,200/-. I personally think that it may go up to 11k in next couple of weeks. Don't know really…..
7. Call quality is excellent. As I told, it is having Dual Microphones for Noise cancellation which has definitely improved the call quality. Absolutely no point to complain in this.
Thanks a lot….
So Still Not Cleared That It is a Dual Core processor, I Think So It is. Can anybody Tell me About This ?
Shashank, A100 is definately Single Core. Don't really know about A90 though.
As Some of Review Say that Its Speaker are Not Really loud Enough It Is True ? IGyaan says in their review
hi deepak loved ur review but can you provide a snapshot of hardware details showing the processor type and name coz from the igyaan video the a90 has shown processor to be mediatek 6575 and considering its a higher end device it is hard to blv that a lower end device like a100 has better processor in qualcomm snapdragon, if it is true and confirmed that a100 has snapdragon processor, i will buy a100 straightway please? you can upload the snapshot of processor details and provide the link?
btw deepak, i checked from mmx facebook page queries and u r indeed right abt the qualcomm processor, thanks buddy and apologies
hi gogi, the latest update on micromax a90 and a100 is that both are single core processors. This is straight from facebook reply section from queries asked by customers, this is wat the mmx care said: Micromax Mobile Hi Hemant Barreja, Sandeep Subramanian . Currently both A90 & A100 comes with a Single Core Processsor 2.Hi Priyanshu Sharma, A90 currently comes with a 1ghz single core processor. Definately is not worth the price then coz its a mediatek 6575 processor instead of mediatek 6577 processor cortex 9 which is dual core. Extremely overpriced coz these phones are selling for 8000 on chinese websites. Really disappointed!!!! Just wish karbonn dont repeat this mistake! If a90 is single core too its overpriced by at least 4000 rupees, definately not worth 13000 and so is a100 at 10000! What do u think gogi?
Pawandeep please check review comment by Deepak for A100 model.
hi gogi
micromax say in fb page…
"A90 has an Amoled Screen but not a Gorilla Glass and it comes with a Mediatek Processor"
so that is good processor or not
Prateek, mediateck processors are good cost-effective / High performance and there is a tough competition going on between Snapdragon and Mediateck. A90 with Amoled screen is already mentioned on MM site, Gorilla Glass is kind of added protection for the screen. But any way I did not expect it to be on the A90.
Any confirmation whether it has Mediatek chip or not ?
Hi Gogi, the MICROMAX SUPERFONE FB page is showing that both A90 & 100 are Dual Core processors. Also, A90 is coming with Super Amoled Screen But 480 x 800 pixel & 262k color support. Whereas A100 is coming with TFT LCD screen with same resolution But 16M color support. Doesn't it seem strange? Especially with the price tags?
Deepak, its confusing the image says AMOLED and in text they say SUPER AMOLED. A100 I think it is non AMOLED and also single core. The A90 I will have a look when I get it, we do not know about the internal storage yet.
hi folks, another update is that the quick review of micromax ninja 3.5 and micromax ninja 4.0 is available on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFvl5_0ZK4w&fe… , apparently both these phones have 5 megapixel cameras with 3.5 inch screen and 4 inch screen but with gingerbread which is a downer and the prices for ninja 3.5 and ninja 4.0 are 5000 and 6000 respectively. What do you think gogi? worth the price?
Looks good for the price – Processor speed I think will be 800 or 1GHz.
Hi Gogi,
This is really unbelievable that on the next day of launching you have collected so many information. Great Boss.
Actually, I want to buy A90 but only after your final review. Kindly, inform me, where I will get the good deal.
Thanks,
Srijesh, Its the readers also who are contributing to the news. For now you will not get any good deal (same price as mentioned). It's a fresh launch and I guess the handsets will soon go out out of stock.
the processor is 1ghz in the quick review video shown on youtube. presumably good price for 1ghz processor gogi?
Is this phone dual core? and does it support adobe flash player?
hi Gogi, thks for the info,
I am sure this is not a dual core, because micromax would have made BIG news about the same, even on their website they don't mention dual core.
So somehow, I feel Micromax A100 looks more value for money as it was for Rs 9999, and if we forget about the 8mp camera.
Anyway we will be waiting for the review of A90 as you have already ordered it.
I wonder when will Karbonn A24 hit the stores !!
What about Gpu
Hi Gogi. You were toooooooo busy yesterday with the updates & queries about A90 & 100. Since morning, some more updates are coming from MMX website, IGYAAN & so.
Couple of important things that I have observed especially in IGYAAN videos of Unboxing of both these handsets. First, I think both are missing on Proximity Sensors which is a big issue. Second is that neither IGYAAN nor even MMX has confirmed whether both the devices are Dual core or Single one. One more point is that A90 although with AMOLED screen, is having 480 x 800 resolution with 262k colors which is disappointing I think.
Both are available online on NIMBUZZ store tied up with MMX. I hope now that you will have A90 in next couple of days & review it in depth. Also, IGYAAN is showing the price of A90 as 11,990/-. Please confirm.
Still, I am more interested in A100 simply because of 5" even with low resolution. I don't think it will have a Dual Core at it seems impossible at 10k.
Please post your views on these points as I want to order one of these two phones at the earliest. I think if KARBONN doesn't come up with A18 or A24 within next couple of weeks, then A90 & 100 will be out of stock everywhere.
Waiting eagerly for your comments.
Deepak, I have just ordered the A90.
Hi folks, after seeing both the unboxing videos of a90 and a100 here are my initial impressions: Micromax a90-Pros-1.Absolutely stunning looks, looks as gorgeous as galaxy SII 2.Dual Core 1 GHz Mediatek 6577 processor 3.ICS 4.8 MP camera 5.promised upgrade to jellybean Cons-1.Mediatek processor instead of qualcomm 2.Internal Memory only IGB and RAM 512 MB 3.The reviewer says buttery smooth in browsing but there is a bit of lag in browsing as well 4.Camera software not optimised not clear whether shoots HD videos 5 .http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4908&idPhone2=4901 is the comparison between this phone and blu vivo 4.3 which are exact model and u can see blu has 1gb ram 4gb rom, gyro and proximity extra with class 12 edge and gprs and shoots 720p videos and costs 234$ which comes to 12800 so if you compare the two the price for a90 is a bit on higher side with lessser specifications than blu 4.3 and the price should be around Rs.11000 considering lesser specifications
Micromax a100=Pros-1.Gorgeous looks 2.Single Core 1 GHz Mediatek 6575 processor (the reviewer says its a dual core as said by company but he found the handset to be single core so it has to be mediatek 6575) 3.ICS 4.5 MP camera 5.4gb internal memory 5. Huge 5 inch screen Cons=1.Battery 2000 MAh seems to be on lower side 2.Little Buggy 3.No dual core which is a bit of let down 4.Mediatek processor 5. Is based on mediatek 6575 platform and most chinese phones on this platform are selling for around 7000 online so even tho price is 10000 i guess the value for money price is Rs.8000. I hope you find the observations useful folks. over to Karbonn now!!!
hi gogi, I just went through the video once again and it says super amoled screen but on micromax site it says amoled screen with 262k colors which makes the price even more expensive considering its an amoled screen and not a super amoled screen like in blu vivo 4.3 which has 16 million colors and this is really disappointing and I think the price does not deserve to be more than Rs. 10000 if you compare it with blue 4.3 on which it is based and another point is that the micromax a100 box did not have aisha booklet like in micromax a90 so presumably it does not have aisha pre-installed. Disappointed with micromax a90 screen claiming to be superamoled but infact giving amoled screen at same price.
Pwandeep, I have ordered the A90 will check it out when I get it. Aisha or the iris missing is no big deal, you can always install it. Yes A90 is 265K whereas A100 is 16m colours. The mm site mentions it as AMOLED and not SUPER AMOLED. However Ncarry shopping site (link from micromax) says Super AMOLED Screen.
The unboxing of micromax a90 is also out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgOAKm1AplY&fe…
Gogi, your take on Xolo X900? And I'm eagerly waiting for Karbonn A24, can we expect this by Oct?
Guess your mentioned about really really good technical spec phone here Xolo X900 costs around 22K with Intel 1.6Ghz processor? If you can afford for it visit the croma store and go for it if you like.
the unboxing video of micromax a100 is already out, check the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUytCZEPYOU&fe…
Gogi, my friend pleas buy this handset & upload your review. I want to buy this handset. I cant wait and also you suggest me should I wait for karbonn A24?
Sunil, yes will be doing the review soon, the A24 I think will also feature the same hardware so really does not matter – but there could be some minor changes and the screen res also may be good on A24, but since there is no news I guess we just look for the A90 option for now.
ok, now i'll buy after your review only. 🙂 🙂 I'm using nokia 5230 from 2yrs with airtel 2G. Still no prob with battery or freezing issue. Wanted to buy android device/mobile just for web surfing, social networking. But better i wait for your review, i don't know why m feeling that…… Small, slim mobile phone don't have long life with such high spec.
I wish nokia start selling with android, then i can buy with closed eyes. 🙂 🙂
Nokia Still Believe Their Windows Phone are Best in Comparison to Android Mobile. Wait Till Their Windows Mobiles Falls in Market. Then They Will Realize that they have to shift their Focus To Android!
You are completely wrong, nokia never install android onto their devices they always try to compete with android directly. Even if WP8 fails to satisfy the mobiles users they will come up with some other OS. If Google bought Motorola one fine day they may declare Android as closed source and start supporting only Motorola phones. I think Samsung already got this and they started developing another linux based TINZEN as a substitute OS for their devices.
As a Nokia fan I don't want to see Android on Nokia devices, it never joins in ANDORID bandwagon always stand out of crowd and it dares to be different always.
Even i dont like ANDROID interface, i just hate their GREEN LOGO. I'm great fan of Nokia phones, but now they have stopped making any good apps for symbian OS. 🙁 my all friends are using VIBER on their android device.
Nokia have always best battery life, durable, unbreakable body, clear & crispy screen, 229 PPI of nokia 5230 (bought for Rs.7000 2 years ago)
hi gogi please tell me when karbonn a3, a18 and a24 will launched!
I think by end of August or early September.
Which are the phones that Micromax is planning to launch for 5,000 and Rs 6,000 ?
hi gogi, The A90 Super phone pixel is now showing on micromax website plz see.
Thanks prateek, and even A100 is listed now, but the links are not active for the phones, yet.
Hey Gogi, have you got hands on any 5" Phablet with 480 x 800 resolution? Does it look too bad? Right now I am using A9 with same resolution But 3.8" display. Will A100 feel too dull for me?
Deepak, no have not used any 5 inch tab but I have a tablet of 7 inch with 800×480 resolution. The smaller the screen the better the sharpness or increase the resolution on bigger screen. But I think a 5 inch device should look good with 800×480 resolution.
Dear Gogi,
What I've read is there are 2 models launched by micromax viz canvas and pixel. Canvas(A100) is priced for Rs. 9900 and pixel(A90) is priced for Rs.12900. A90 sports 4.3" screen whereas A100 sports a bigger one with 4.9".
Can you pls confirm the same.
Many thanks.
Javed, correct A100 and A90.
what is diff between super AMOLED and normal touch screen ??
AMOLED screen have high refresh rate, they consume less power and the output is even better than the LCD screens. The Super AMOLED screen can also be viewed under direct sunlight.
@gogi
shall i still wait for KARBONN a24? or go with mmx A90
I was waiting for the A24 but it seems I will go with A90 unless A24 popups up before I order the handset.
Hey Gogi,
by profession what you do? 🙂 and why A90 is costly compare to A100. i think A100 has 5inch screen. And tell me one thing in small phones having dual core means more heating+freezing issue na? Whats your view?
Kumar, I am a web designer, web developer and blogger. A90 has 8 MP camera and there are a few specs that is still not clear so wait for it getting listed on Micromax site. A100 has bigger screen but don't think its SUPER AMOLED. I am planning to get A90 so will find out about the heating / freezing issues if any.
In Ninja 3.5 & 4.0. What is 3.5 & 4.0 Its a Model Number Or Its The Operating System, Honeycomb or ICS ?
Its model no. Ninja then came Ninja 2 the 3 and the 4..

Hi Gogi. What about A100? No details are out yet?
Hi yes the MM A100 (Superfone Canvas) with 5-inch screen (for Rs.9,990) has also been launched but more coverage was given for the A90.
Hi Gogi,
