Spice Pinnacle FHD Mi-525 Mobile Price in India
Many of the Indian mobile manufacturers are trying to develop interesting smartphones packed with decent features which could be able to compete with the global brands. One such company is Spice and it has launched its latest phablet with the name Pinnacle FHD Mi-525 which has 5-inch screen having full HD capacity along with a quad core processor but the point is if only this is enough to compete with the global brands such as Samsung, Karbonn and Micromax? The fact is that the company is now know for developing quality products and this is the reason customers get attracted towards its devices.

The weight of the device is 175g supporting dual SIM. It has 5-inch large screen of type capacitive touchscreen that offers 16M colors and the resolution of the screen is 1080x1920p that also supports multi-touch.

It has 2100mAh Li-ion battery while the connectivity options included are microUSB, FM radio, A-GPS with GPS, Wi-Fi, GSM and Bluetooth.
Design and Quality
The design of the device is quite simple having no physical key on front. The whole of the front is largely dominated by the screen having three capacitive touchscreen keys. The back of the device is having rear camera and a speaker grille towards the bottom. The weight of the device makes it little bulky and it comes in two colors white and black. MicroUSB port is at the bottom of the phone and the headset jack is at the top. The power button is towards the right and the volume rocker is towards left. The back is removable under which is the removable battery and two SIM slots along with microSD card slot. This is a good looking device but this should have been lighter while the back of the device is glossy which is very slippery. The screen is also good producing good viewing angles.
OS and Tech
Android v4.2 Jelly Beans has been selected for this device which is quite popular for the mid-range devices and it gives a smooth running to the device with full support from the processor and the RAM. The multitasking is quite swift and thus the performance of the device is decent enough.
Camera and Multimedia
The rear 8MP camera produces good quality images during the daylight. But under low light, the quality of pictures get fade while the indoor photography also generates grainy and noisy images. The dual flash light works it purpose decently even then the quality of the pictures under low light is not very appreciating. The camera can also record full HD videos but they also suffer from similar issue and the quality of videos is not that great. The front camera works nicely for the selfies and video calls.
Battery and Memory
Under medium use, the 2100mAh battery can last for whole day and this include the medium number of call and internet use, playing games and videos or listening to the music. So the battery is decent enough here. But under heavy use, this would require recharging once in 24hrs. 1GB RAM is very common for mid-range device so it is also nice here but the internal 8GB of storage may not be liked by many though the expansion to the memory is decent.
Pros and Cons
For Pros:
· Decent display
· Decent battery
· Good design
· Affordable price
· Expandable memory
For Cons:
· Many preloaded apps
· Limited internal storage and RAM
Verdict
This is a decent offer from Spice with full HD screen and decent features along with good performance at much affordable price. But this device is also not free of little bugs like the camera should have been much improved while the internal storage should have been expanded more. The price at which this device has been offered, there are few good brand at the same price like Nokia Lumia 720 which has much better specifications and performance than this one. The build quality of Nokia devices are also better while another good device available at the same price range is Micromax Canvas 4 but it doesn’t have the full HD display.
