Videocon A30 is now listed on flipkart with a coming soon status. The A30 from Videocon will come powered by a dual core processor by Qualcomm scorpion. The price is not known.
There are quite a few dual core handsets available in the Indian markets and the list is growing. Zopo mobiles are also gearing up to launch their version of dual core in India. Videocon has also joined the dual core mobile bandwagon by launching the A30 model. The Micromax A110 and the Micromax A90s comes powered by Mediatek dual core processors whereas the Videocon A30 will run on the Scorpion dual core processor.
Videocon A30 key features and specification
- This is a dual SIM phone with dual standby mode.
- The display screen is 4 inches (capacitive touch) with a resolution of 800×480 pixels.
- Inside the hood – 1GHz Qualcomm scorpion dual core processor. Memory details are not known but could be with 512MB RAM and 4GB internal storage. GPU details are also not known.
- Runs on Android ICS – Android 4.0 OS.
- 5MP rear auto focus camera (with video recording, probably 720p) and a 0.3 MP front camera for video calling/chat.
- Other features: 3G, EDGE, GPRS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth with A2DP, 3.5 mm jack, FM player and GPS.
- The Videocon A30 comes with 1500 mAh battery with a usage time of about over a day.
It would be interesting to compare the hardware performance with Mediatek processors. The price is not yet disclosed, but would make it more competitive if it was priced at around Rs. 10,000.
Thank you Amit for the Tip!

Hi Gogi sir…
plz get a sample of videocon a30 and give a review of this as soon as possible…
because I have a limited budget of Rs. 7500 and want to bye a phone like this…this phone has some very good features. but ther is no review of this phone of you…so I’m not so sure about buying this phone… so plz make it fast sir …Plz….
Hai Gogi bro, can you please tell me how to root my Videocon a30 phone.
thanks in advance..
hey gogi can i put 2000 mah battery in videocon a30
Varun, you need to talk with the Videocon support its better that way cause using higher capacity battery may damage the handset.
Hiii,
I bought a Videocon A30 yesterday and was trying to root the same on a windows 8 machine with the Binary v 18 tool. The process went on fine. It showed that it was unable to push the busybox and su . i got the superuser app installed. however root checker apps ( 2/3 apps) fail to show the phone as rooted. i tired repeating the process on windows 7 but to no avail. superone click also does not root the phone.
Pls help as i wish to get rid of all the bloatware on this thing.
Thanks in advance.
I don’t think so that the drivers of v30 are available for windows 7 or windows 8. Please try this on winxp.
Videocon A30 is a awesome mobile. i bought it 2 days ago and it just possessed me. Every thing the phone has is very very good and it’s lightning fast. temple run is running fine, download speed is also very good, camera in day light is very good. Only one thing, the battery drains too much but i have heard almost every android mobile has the same problem especially when u have dual core processor.Finally at rs.7200 you will not get a mobile like this one. Just buy it and enjoy…… good day
Gogi sir, you ordered a30 or not? Its available on naaptol.
Hi Aniket, no not yet. I did from flipkart but they cancelled, I don’t shop from any other place other than flipkart, infibeam or saholic.
But its available on infibeam then why you nt ordered?
Cause I had already ordered from flipkart, and was waiting for the delivery but they called last moment and cancelled the order.
hi Gogi its available on flipkart now!
Hi gogi are mediatek processor better than qualcomm in case of dual cores? plz reply I’m eagerly waiting…
Prem, you see the mediatek and qualcomm are different brands and there are different chipsets they have lauinched so it will not be right to compare the brand but better if the chipsets are compared. I have found that for the same price mediatek offers higher chipset so performance is better.
Hey gogi, I am looking to buy this phone. Plz review this phone with as much detail as u can esp. its gpu performance and battery backup. Also plz tell if any high capacity battery available for it. Can spice stellar mi 425 2000mah battery work in it.
Its available on homeshop18.
Prashant, I have checked on HS18 out of stock.
Just checked it at naaptol.com . Available on cash on del. at rs. 7000. Order it before it goes out of stock there too.
Flipkart is now showing available!
Hi just received a call from flipkart they do not have the stock and have cancelled the order. Sorry guys, will see if I can get it from some other store online.
I have ordered the handset from flipkart, its not available in the local store. Expected deliver date By Jan 16, 2013. Will do the review when I get it.

Looks like best in class for a 4″ mobile with ICS.
Flipkart cost 7999.
Very low SAR. (0.517)
Hi everybody,
You can pre order from ebay.in
Probook at
looks like an MIUI?
hi Gogi you please review the veedee D10 DC 7″ tablet pc. Shashank Deshpande.
Hey murtuza dude before buying anything read atleast 4 written reviews and 4 video reviews to know what your getting. Search google, utube for that. Unkown brands might not have them up, so thats one of the disadvantages of getting a unkown brand. Know this that only hardware does not give u a better/fluid experience. There are other important factors which will be explained in the said reviews.
Yes Omi,
I researched veedee company and finally placed order with vee dee.. It has a 98% positive score at ebay also.
Murtuza you can buy it cause veedee is a trusted brand. I’m observing it from the previous year. Though I prefer you to go for fronix aurora 2 tablet. As it’s specs are at par when compared with any other tab at that price point.!! ( especially the ips display and quad core gpu with dual 2mp cameras ) And a rockchip 3066 soc dual core processor with 1 gb ddr3 ram and also windows metro ui theme at only 6990-/. This is not for murtaza but also for all gogi fans. Site details are fronixtech.com …!!
Thanks Nitin for giving me a very good choice, I just compared these two and found only 2 differences, the dual camera and windows 8 interface with jellybean extra in the Fronix model for only Rs 500 extra. The looks of Fronix are also better with more service centres.
Incidentally veedee d10 dc also has ips display with quad core gpu and same processor rockchip3066 with 1 gb ddr ram (incidentally I just booked the veedee model moments before I read this as I was in a hurry to get the Tab for my sons Diwali gift)
Sorry, I made a mistake, veedee d10 dc is not IPS it is only HD resolution.
Murtaza if you have used veedee d10 dc for gaming like nfs, asphalt ..pls do tell about hanging issues if any.
Is fronixtech is a trusted company? Also can you please tell me what is the best tablet under Rs. 5000
I pre-ordered the product almost 2 months back.. they delayed the shipment citing several stupid reasons.. Then they changed the tab altogether to the Cube Mini U30GT! Now they are clueless to what they should do, and they aren’t in business at least for now. The service centers mentioned have no clue whatsoever about the company called Fronix… Some believe that they were taking a demand-supply survey… So stay away!
Thanks Krishna Das. I will stay away from this company.
Hey Gogi bro, i think You missed something in your article, that is videocon is gearing to launch two android phone that is A20 (single core) & A30 (dual core)
http://www.flipkart.com/videocon-a20/p/itmdf2harrwhgdpr?pid=MOBDF2KWTGCF65MA&ref=45bf6f09-0ad4-46b4-a806-e56c4fadd5dd
Thanks Shashank will add a post on that too.
I thing in my view videocon company is different from other company, it does not have a very good market share in the mobile sector. But they have less complaints and their phones will be as good as others.
I think Qualcomm scorpion is different from snapdragon 🙂
its same bro…. just google it…. you will find it ….
Very good competition in Indian market.
Sayan buddy, Qualcomm has several model no’s or u can say processor types. If you think single core mediatek processors are better in benchmark scores than qualcomm. Then check out qualcomm snapdragon s4 and s4 pro processors and then compare them with these mediatek processors. Though they are multicore processors but comparing mediatek with qualcomm snapdragon s1 and s2 processors is of no fun, Enjoy buddy…!!
Hi Gogi, I want to inform you that Karbonn A21 & A9+ with dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor are already present in the market. so try to review any of the above-mentioned handsets.
Videocon had disappeared from the mobile market?
hey no worries! my pleasure 🙂
Competition is just getting tough and the customer is the winner. By the way which is better Scorpion dual core processor or Mediatek dual core processors ?.
Looks resemble to A90 with Capacitive buttons and 4″ screen.
Why they have taken such a long time in Launching their 2nd Android handset after Zeus? Its a tougher market now with many players entering in this price bracket.
According to the benchmark of single core processors mediatek is better than qualcomm I think it will be the same in case of dual cores.
Dear Gogi, I just saw a Tablet featuring dual core with 1 gb ram @ RS 6500, is it ok to buy such unknown company tablet? http://veedeedirect.com/product/VeeDee-D10Dc—Dual-Core—HD-Display—1GB-Ram—8GB-Flash-id-64733.html
