Verdict
Spice Stellar Mi-549 is indeed a good invention from Spice which is getting slowly and gradually quite famous for developing nice flagships. This design of this device though is not new but it even doesn’t look bad at all here since the design of iPhone has become an insignia and many companies now follow its design. The features of this device are quite decent under moderate price so users are for sure going to like this handset. The silver back and black front of this handset also is very appealing to most of the classic color lovers. The performance of the device is also flawless so this is absolutely not bad device in overall perspective. There should be little innovation in design from the company rather than blindly copying others in their design specifications. It is quite capable of giving iPhone illusion.
