Battery and Memory:

The Asus ZenFone 4 comes with similar battery and memory features.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
· Affordable price.
· 32GB expandable memory with 8GB internal memory.
· 5.00 inches screen: great for watching videos and playing games.
Cons:
· HD display not available.

· Java not supported.
Verdict:
The phone offers good features at an affordable price. It strengths might overpower its weaknesses. The phone is great for someone who wants a little bit of everything since though this phone does not have any absolutely extra-ordinary features, it also does not miss out on any must-have items. The Karbonn A19 plus is thus a Jack of all trades and that is not necessarily a bad thing to be. A device that might give the A19 plus competition because of very similar feature is the Micromax A114R Canvas beat.
