Karbonn too have launched their version of quad core called the Karbonn S1 Titanium. This handset runs on Jelly Bean OS, comes powered by 1.2GHz quad core processor and supports dual SIM. The handset is priced at Rs. 10,990 as of now, seems like Karbonn have reduced the cost from 12,999.The Karbonn S1 Titanium model is now listed on the Karbonn Mobiles website and it seems they are stillupdating as specifications are still not filled in. But the good news is we have two quad cores waiting to be launched.Micromax were the first to announce theMicromax A116and now we have another competitor the Karbonn with its S1 Titanium model. Not much of the details arerevealed on the Karbonn site as of now.But here is what is mentioned. TheS1 Titanium handset looks different from the A116 with 4 dedicated buttons on the front side. The CPU is 1GHz quad core for smoother operations. The handset runs on Jelly Bean OS and the screen is with qHD resolution. A 1600 mAh battery powers the handset. The screen size is not disclosed yet but looking at the battery mAh it could be 4.3 or 4.5 inches.Other features included are 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3.5mm jackand micro USB port. There is a 5MP rear camera with Auto focus and led flash plus a front VGA camera for video calling. It’s a dualSIM handset and memory details are not known but probably with 1GB RAM.Visit theKarbonn Mobiles site (click here)for more on the S1 Titanium. I will update the specs as soon as they are updated on the Karbonn website. The handset is with a lower spec like 5MP camera,lower battery mAh and probably with a smaller screen size. The handset is priced at Rs. 12,999 andis cheaper than than theMicromaxA116.Karbonn S1 Titanium key features and Specifications*.Quad core @ 1.2GHz (Qualcomm processor).*.4.48 inch capacitive touchscreen with 960×640 pixels resolution.*.5MP Auto focus camera with LED.*.9.25mm thickness (66×134.6×9.25mm).*.RAM 1GB, 4GB internal storage and micro SD slot.*.3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, microUSB and 3.5 mm audio jack.*.1600 mAh battery with 4 hours talktime and over a week of standby time.

Probably the price may fall lower than what is mentioned on the box pack. With the launch ofKarbonn S1, we might see a further drop. There is a good difference between these two quad core handsets.Micromax A116 versus Karbonn S1 Titanium*.Processor: S1 is with 1.2GHz quad core CPU from Qualcomm whereas A116 (Canvas HD) is with 1.2GHz quad core CPU from MediaTek.*.RAM & Storage: Both handsets are loaded with 1GB RAM and 4GB internal storage with Micro SD slot.*.Handset Size: The S1 is of course smaller that the Canvas HD.*.SIM Type: Both supports dual SIM.*.OS: Both run on the Jelly Bean 4.1 OS.*.Touchscreen Display: The S1 is with 4.5 inch IPS with qHD resolution whereas the A116 comes with 5 inch IPS with 720presolution.*.Camera: Karbonn S1 is with 5MP rear camera whereas A116 sports an 8MP rear camera.*.Battery: It’s 1600 mAh on S1 and2100 mAh on A116.*.Price: 10,990 for S1 and under Rs. 14,990 for A116.

Micromax Canvas A116 HD V/S UMI x2
Micromax was having a dream run with its Canvas series smartphone. While Canvas II A110 - the second phone in the Canvas series - put the limelight on Micromax, the Canvas HD A116 was a blockbuster even before its release in India. Micromax Canvas HD A116 was sold out within hours of its launch, making it perhaps the only smartphone in India to sell out so fast. Even the Canvas A110 was sold out from the market and is still being ordered. Canvas A110's price also soared from Rs 9,000 to Rs 11,500 as demand rose significantly. But amid all this brouhaha, UMI, a Chinese handset vendor, launched a phone that has such high end features that it could even put smartphones priced at Rs 35,000 to shame.
The phone in discussion is the UMI X2, which is priced at Rs 14,000 only. The UMI X2 comes with a 5 inch high definition display, quad core processor, 2 GB RAM, 13 megapixel rear camera, 3 megapixel front camera, 2500 mAh battery and a lot more. But the question is whether you should go for the Micromax Canvas HD or the UMI X2 as both are priced equally. We have already reviewed the Canvas HD so we are in a good position to talk about its performance, and we expect to review the UMI X2 soon. Here is a simple comparison of features of both the handsets that will help you choose the right phone for yourself.
Body
Micromax Canvas HD A116 is a really slim phone-elegant to be precise. It has a shiny yet non-slippery body. Unlike other budget smartphones, Canvas HD has a good build and does not feel cheap. Of course, it isn't the slimmest 5 inch smartphone; nor the lightest at 10.7 mm thickness and weighing 156 grams. On the other hand, UMI X2, which too has a 5 inch display, is just 8.9 mm thick and weighs 155 grams. In the pictures, UMI X2 looks good with a metallic strip around its sides. However, it is difficult to say about the exact nature of its build quality as of now.
Display
The UMI X2 comes with a 5 inch display. However, the UMI X2 has 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution compared to the 1280 x 720 pixel resolution of the Micromax smartphone. Of course, the pixel density is more on the UMI X2 and pictures look sharper and clearer on it. To be specific, UMI X2 has 441 ppi display resolution, which is a lot better than Apple iPhone 5's 326 ppi density and Samsung Galaxy SIII's 306 ppi pixel density. On the other hand, Micromax Canvas HD has 294 ppi pixel density. Both the phones have IPS panels, but UMI X2 scores over the Micromax Canvas HD as it has a Gorilla Glass 2 display which provides some sort of protection to the screen from scratches.
Camera
Micromax Canvas HD comes with an 8 megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash and auto focus. There is a 2 megapixel camera in the front. The cameras are theoretically able to capture high definition images and videos but as we have pointed out in our review as well, Canvas HD is like most other budget smartphones when it comes to the camera. In fact, we found a bug in the smartphone that prevents the camera app from opening. UMI X2, on the other hand, looks exciting with its 13 megapixel auto focus rear camera with single LED flash and 3 megapixel front camera. Figure wise, the UMI X2 anyway looks better than the Micromax handset, but it is a category where figures are misleading.
Storage
Where storage is concerned Micromax Canvas HD is a decent device as it has 4 GB of internal memory of which 1.77 GB is available for the user. One can also expand the memory up to 32 GB using a micro SD card. But when compared to the UMI X2's storage space, Canvas HD looks very ordinary. This is because, the UMI X2 comes with a huge 32 GB ROM, of which we expect that around 25-28 GB will be available for users to store their data. Besides, the UMI X2 has support for a micro SD card as well through which you can expand the memory by another 32 GB.
Battery
Both phones come with 5 inch screens as well as quad core processors so their requirements are similar. That is why the 2500 mAh battery in UMI X2 looks a lot better than the 2000 mAh battery of Micromax Canvas HD. As I said in the review as well, Canvas HD gives around five hours of talktime with one full recharge. We expect the UMI X2 to provide more talktime as it has a bigger battery, which should last around 6-7 hours at the least.
Processor, OS, RAM
Both the handsets come with the same MediaTek processor which has four cores and 1.2 GHz clockspeed. Also, both UMI X2 and Micromax Canvas HD A116 have Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, and both the handset manufactures have promised to release Android 4.2 update for the smartphones in due course of time. What makes the UMI X2 special is its 2 GB RAM against Canvas HD's 1 GB RAM.
I would buy UMI x2 instead of Micromax Canvas HD after seeing the specifications !!

Micromax Bling 3 A86 comes with a 4 inch display, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, and 1 GHz dual core processor
Micromax used to sell Swarovski encrusted phones under its Bling series long ago, and now it has launched a new handset under the series, called as Micromax Bling 3 A86. This time it is a smartphone based on Android 4.1 operating system and is priced at Rs 9,599.
The new Micromax Bling 3 comes with moderate features such as 1 GHz dual core processor, 4 inch display, and a 1600 mAh battery. The Bling 3 comes with a 5 megapixels rear camera with flash and a 0.3 megapixels front camera.
The Bling 3 A86 also features 3G, Bluetooth v3.0, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, USB 2.0 and Gravity Sensor. However specification is not the highlight of the phone; it has crystals as the home button while the back panel is designed to appeal to women customers.
However we feel that the phone is a bit too overpriced, as phones with similar specification sell for as little as Rs 6,000. Also even if we consider the design aspects, we feel Rs 9,599 is a bit too steep. The phone is currently available on Snapdeal.
XOLO A600 a 1.3GHz dual core handset comes for a price tag of under Rs. 8000. It is with the same MT6572 chipset running Android 4.2 with 512MB RAM. .
This dual sim device with MT6572 dual core chipset comes packed in an attractive body, that will surely grab attention. The handset sports a 4.5 inch screen with qHD resolution and runs on 4.2 JB with 512MB RAM. Battery is of a decent 1900 mAh capacity. Handset can comfortably play many games. A classy looking phone for under Rs. 7,500.
