Micromax is the name we all associate with value for money. The company has flooded the market with budget handsets and has just launched two more sub Rs 5,000 handsets without any fanfare. The two devices we are talking about here are A37B and A46 with the former going on sale for Rs 4,700 with the latter going up for Rs 4,490. Let us take a look at the specs of both the smartphones:
Micromax Bolt A37B:
The smartphone has been launched for Rs 4,700 and is probably amongst the cheapest smartphones to feature 3G. It has a 3.5 inch screen which has a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels. Doing the processing is a single core 1 GHz MediaTek MT6572M processor. It runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean which is pretty good thing considering the fact that budget handsets usually run on Android 4.0 ICS/4.1 Jelly Bean or even Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread at times. It has dual SIM support.
The internal storage capacity stands at 512 MB out of which 107 MB is user available. You can expand the same by 32GB via a microSD card. The RAM stands at 256 MB. Connectivity package includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Micro-USB, GPRS and 3G which is a pretty good one considering the price it asks. At the back is a 2MP camera without flash and it packs in a 1,450 mAh battery that has been rated to give a talk time of up to 5.5 hours on 2G.
