To get multiple good features in a single, affordable phone is not that easily available nowadays, yet this phone covers most of the aspects of the latest technology and still remains at a price that will not weigh down the customers. However, there are phones that might give this particular handset some competition, such as the Micromax Canvas 2 A120 (which has a front camera with lower pixels and lesser ROM than ours), and Micromax Canvas Doodle 3 A102 (with lower megapixel front and back cameras but a bigger screen than ours). Thus, those wishing to keep their pockets light and still want a smartphone with basic applications and needs beingfulfilled, then you must go for it.
