Indigenous manufacturer Celkon appears to be on a launch spree as it is coming up with a slew of Android 4.4 KitKat based smartphones one after the other. Lately, the vendor launched two of them – Millennium Power Q3000 and Millennium Elite Q470. Within a week’s time, the firm has come up with yet another device called Millennium Vogue Q455. The handset is priced at Rs 7,999 and it surfaced in rumors since last month. Let us take a look at the quick review of smartphone below:
Camera and Internal Storage
The rear camera is a decent 8 MP sensor that is supported by LED flash for enhanced low light photography. This snapper is accompanied with a 1.3 MP front-facing shooter that can help in making video calls and in clicking self portrait shots that is the recent trend. Considering the pricing of the handset, these camera aspects are pretty decent and acceptable.
Update 2-8-2014: The 8 MP shooter is a Fixed focus unit which didn’t perform well in our time with the device
Internal storage capacity is quite impressive at 16 GB that can in turn be expanded externally by another 32 GB by means of a micro SD card. Moreover, the native storage space should be enough to store all the default software and other applications without the necessity of additional storage.
Processor and Battery
Celkon Vogue Q455 is powered by the quad-core Broadcom BCM23550 SoC that was used in the newly launched Lava Magnum X604. This processor is paired with a VideoCore IV graphics engine to handle the intense graphics requirements and 1 GB of RAM for multi-tasking. The BCM23550 chipset brings in support for HSPA+ and has power management IC, RF transceiver, multi-constellation GNSS location chip and connectivity combo chip.
The battery in the smartphone is a 2,000 mAh unit that should be capable of pumping in decent backup to the device. Moreover, this battery capacity makes the device on par with its rivals that are available in the market.
Display and Features
The Celkon Millennium Vogue Q455 comes with a standard 4.5 inch qHD IPS display carrying a resolution of 960×540 pixels. This makes the device an average one that allows it to handle the basic capabilities with ease.
The Celkon Millennium Vogue Q455 is fueled by Android 4.4 KitKat operating system and it packs a slew of usual connectivity features including 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and dual SIM functionality.
Comparison
The Celkon phone will be a direct competitor to the other smartphones such as Lava Magnum X604, Xolo Q600s, Xiaomi Redmi 1S and Moto G.
