Karbonn A90s Mobile Price List in India

Karbonn Mobiles is a telecommunication firm founded in March 2009. In October 2012, Karbonn entered the market of smartphones and tab based on Android operating system. Microsoft announced this company as a hardware partner of Windows Phone operating system in February 2014. Initially, it launched a mobile by the name of Sparkle V and with constant development; it has launched this mobile as the latest entry, the KARBONN A90.

Features and Specifications:

it’s a dual SIM mobile (micro SIM) which was launched in August 2012. It supports GSM / HSPA. The 2G bands are GSM 900 / 1800. It also has EDGE and GPRS. It comes with an accelerometer sensor.

Design and Quality:

The design is classic candy bar with curved edges and a sleek look. The screen is a IPS color screen and 16M colors. The touchscreen is a multi-touch screen. The display is 4 inches, 480 * 800 pixels with 223 PPI. It also has the touch and swipe feature. The screen resolution is of average nature due to which the color definition is not very good. The movie buffs might find the screen inadequate when it comes to enjoying their favorite movies.

OS and Tech:

The A90 runs on Android Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0 which is quite an old version of OS. Celkon provides Jelly Bean OS in their mobiles at a lower price. But, the features included in A90 are much more than what Celkon provides. It is powered by a 1 GHz processor which is combined with a 512 MB RAM. This RAM too is very inadequate and the processor is not powerful at all. 

Camera and Multimedia:

A90 has a 5.0 MP primary rear camera with digital zoom, autofocus. It also has a LED flash for night photos. The camera proves useful for daylight photography, low light photography and video recording. The secondary is a VGA camera which as we know is almost of no use. The secondary camera has very low resolution which makes it impossible to use as Selfie-taking gadget or a video calling phone.

Battery and Memory:

A90 is poorly packed with 512 MB internal memory. This is so not expected in today’s world of smartphone generation. It is not adequate at all for storing a wide range of games, songs, videos, applications. It has the facility of expanding the memory up to 32 GB using an external card slot. Battery provided is 1400mAH, Li-ion Battery. This battery provides a talk time of 5 hours and a stand by time of 150 hours.

Other Features:

Has an audio jack of 3.5 mm, supports Wi-Fi and allows USB connectivity. It has the Android Web kit for internet browsing. 

PROS:

1.      Good camera of 5.0 MP with LED flash.

2.      Attractive bar design.

CONS:

1.      Outdated OS.

2.      Poor processor with inadequate RAM.

3.      Very less internal memory.

4.      Insignificant front camera.

5.      No GPS which proves a major setback.

VERDICT:

As you can observe, the list of CONS is longer than the PROS list. KARBONN does not live up to the expectations at all. Other than a decent design and a very low price, there is nothing in this mobile that will attract a user. The most important thing people look for in a device is the operating system. A90 lacks in that. Sometimes, a powerful processor might compensate for a poor OS like in MTS BLAZE 4.5, but that too is not the case in KARBONN A90. The internal memory provided is also so small that one cannot even think of downloading games, music, videos etc. Also, the low memory leads to slow speed of the gadget. Overall, the suggestion would be too look for some other mobile. Devices with similar features are Lenovo P700i and Karbonn A10.
