Micromax Mobiles has launched the X55 Blade an ultra thin 2G mobile phone that houses a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash. This handset is 10.3 mm thin and gives a stand by time of about 8 days.

Conclusion

Though the 5 MP camera with LED flash and dual SIM options look promising there is no 3G support (no EDGE) and screen resolution is not so impressive. Overall the Micromax X55 Blade’s 5MP camera may be the selling point but other features are similar to what you find on low cost handsets.
