All About Micromax A90 Superfone Pixel

Micromax just launched it's superfone pixel named Micromax A90 yesterdays The phone is superior according to the price if the phone. Micromax is an Indian company so the phone will be only available in India. This price of the phone is Rs 12000 (250$) at some places and Rs 12999 (270$) at some places. The Phone comes with Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 which is a great. It also has a 4.3" Super AMOLED Display with a resolution of 480x800 pixels. Super AMOLED display makes this a great phone and due to which it is named after the word "pixel". The phone comes with a powerful 1 GHz processor. I think this is the best phone available yet in the price bracket. It also comes with a on screen buttons and not the capacitive buttons which is better than anything else. It comes with stock ICS and has no customization done except some apps installed by Micromax It also comes with an 8 MP Camera with full HD Video recording at such a great price bracket. I will surely try this phone.

The Present Micromax A90 is with single core processor. The dual core version is going to be launch in September:cyclops:

In the iGyaan also, it is a single core version but that was not lagging so the dual core will be superior

hey folks greetings
this phone looks like it has large potential and looking at the paper specs, it obviously looks like a head turner.
now that it has generated such huge interest I want ppl who own it to give their review, that is, how they feel about the product over all
my biggest concern about it is the xda support, I want ppl to support such potential products and make it a hit just because its worth what we pay. am I right?
plz write a full review and also about the camera quality, touch, hardware, and my last concern
is the dual core version conformed? if any1 could conform about this I would be very thankful about it because I have seen many ppl on various blog commenting about the confusion surrounding the dual core version.
thanks for the good work ppl and plz contribute for the development of this product
hope its pre-rooted just like funbook
And an appeal to Micromax, plz release the kernel source so dat developers can develop ROM custom kernels etc.

Micromax is late to the party
Even if Micromax Releases A90 with dual core in september, there will have been many dual core competitors from other brands like Karbonn and Spice. As for me, I am content with a single core device because it satisfies all my needs and doesn't suck up battery juice. I have Micromax A100. And it is good (better than the competing devices right now for the price).

I really agree with you, I have an HTC Inspire 4G and never felt it to be slow or sucking battery so I may also go for Micromax A90 if XDA brings a bit of development into it.

LOL Prince!!!

this is an amazing phone...
Micromax is the 3rd largest selling in India.
i'm currently using Micromax A100

Its only a 256K Color Screen Would Have Liked It If It was a 2 million color screen.
And Ive heard 720p Video Playback Lags on stock video playing options !!

Looking for new phone

What im looking for is 5 inch or above display sise, 16 million colors, 1GB of ram, Android 4.2 OS, good camera, quad core cpu and should be able to take 2 sims. Any suggestions? Ive found some nice ones on dhgate with 16 million clolors, but only comes with one sim.

I think you need to take a look at different Chinese smartphones - there're a lot of dual-sim models among them.

Some of China's mobile phone quality is bad.

Not Really, I have the Star N9770 and for the price it is very nice. I am just not happy with the 16000k color screen, but it can play every game on the market, is super fast and with heavy use I get a day and a half on 1 battery, normal use 3 days.

Yeah for sure, unfortunately I could not find a dual sim with 16 million colors yet, but still looking hard. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 also, but as I mentioned its sorta pointless for me to have it as I have to carry around 2 phones, so thats the reason why im looking for something that comes close to the S4 with dual sim.

Both phones soooo sweet, but im in South Africa, so those 2 will cost me a small fortune. For instance I bought a 2011 Macbook pro second hand for about R3000 and each of those will cost me close to R5000 and up, not to expensive considering the Galaxy S4's price, but yeah the wife and daughter is in the front of the line each month. lol.

You can look HERE for info. This is the one I'm using now, Very happy with the performance. The phone is one 3 days old and I've yet to explore it features.

I received my phone in 2 weeks time and good working condition. However, the spec of the phone is not according to what I've placed. The OS is 4.2.1 instead of 4.2.2 (latest) and phone is also not rooted.
After emails, I've a 4.2.2 from their tech-support. Managed to flash this on my phone and also done the rooting process.
For this company, there are good and bad comments on their style of running. I buy from them as I can use paypal for payment. If things turn up bad, I can always ask for a refund.

Canvas 4 A210 - Can life be endless!

Micromax launches Canvas 4 in India for Rs. 17,999
The pre-booking is now open for Rs 5000, if you want you can book it here: http://www.canvas-4.com/
Finally the phone got realeased today and here are the official SPECS, although i must say it's a big disappointment to our expectations
The Canvas 4 has a 5.0-inch, 1280 x 720 'TRU-HD' IPS panel, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 13 megapixel rear camera with five element lens, image stabilization, multiple face detection and vertical panorama, 5 megapixel front camera, dual SIM, dual standby functionality, expandable memory, flip cover option, 2,000mAh battery and Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean.
One of the unique features of this phone is Blow to Unlock, wherein you essentially blow a kiss to your phone to unlock it (yes, that's an actual feature). Other, more sensible features include video pinning to pin videos on the homescreen and look away to pause video, stuff that's straight out of Samsung's TouchWiz. You can also turn the phone down during a call and it automatically switches to loudspeaker mode.
The Micromax Canvas is priced at ₹17,999 ($295) and will be on sale this weekend in India.

BluOne has 1GB RAM and Quad core 1.2GHz processor, while Canvas 4 is again roumored to have 2GB RAM with 1.7GHz Quadcore processor..

wow canvas 4
thanks..

guys Micromax canvas 4 has 5.5 inch FullHD Display. In the heart of it is a 2GHz quad core cortex A7 processor. Micromax Canvas 4 at unbelievable price of 15,000/- in the budget segment of smartphones..including the latest processors, more RAM, more megapixel camera and yes, most importantly, keeping the price low.
Not official but definite like this

Ya i had read that news article and it sounds very promising but again the article mentioned it's just rumored! I'm sure Canvas 4 will not be having a 2GHz quad core processor, thats just way too high expectations..

HP Slatebook x2 - MOST POWERFUL GAMING ANDROID TABLET EVER?!

http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/ho...us/en/pc_cons/higher_asp/slatebook_x2/buynow8
Processor
NVIDIA® Tegra® 4 T40S with Intel HD Graphics (1.8 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache)
Graphics
Intel HD Graphics 4000
An Android tablet with Intel's HD 4000?!!!
This could mean some SERIOUS gaming performance, on par with PC class discrete graphics cards.
The one thing I'm worried about is app compatibility.
Can anybody verify? Does anyone have benchmarks?
If not, I'm returning my N7v2 very soon and will find out for myself!

No this can't be right. Why would a nVidia Tegra 4 use Intel graphics. It's like an oxymoron.

I realize it's completely backwards.
I just spoke with an HP salesperson on their website. They confirmed that it does indeed come with the HD 4000. I also asked them about app compatibility, and they said there will be no issues whatsoever (but I'll have to see for myself.)
HOLY CRAAAAP I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS EXCITED ABOUT AN ANDROID TABLET BEFORE!
Tegra 4 CPU + Intel HD 4000 = FASTEST, MOST POWERFUL ANDROID TABLET EVER!
And the fact that NO ONE is talking about this is just weird! THIS IS THE BIGGEST NEWS FOR ANDROID!

The spec sheet that you can download on the HP site does not have Intel graphics listed but in the main spec list on the store front clearly has Intel listed for graphics. I wish HP would clarify this...even if it turns out to use the Nvidia GPU its still a beast of a tablet. I'm waiting on reviews and/or availability in retail stores to teat it out. Very interested though

Thank you! Finally someone else who understands how REVOLUTIONARY this is!
For the CPU, spec sheet says: Nvidia T40S, 4-Plus-1™ Quad
Could the "Plus 1" mean the Intel HD 4000?
Edit: No, I just found out it doesn't.
"The so-called 4-plus-1 processor cores are in fact five ARM Cortex-A15 CPU cores where the fifth core is used largely for power-saving purposes."

Hd 4000 confirmed
I just spoke with an HP Customer Representative:

11:28:24 AM : Me: Yes. On your website, the HP Slatebook x2 is listed in the Specs as having an Intel HD 4000 for a GPU.
11:28:32 AM : Me: But on your HP Data Sheet, it doesn't list the HD 4000 anywhere.

So yes, because of Me (rofl) they will be revising their Data Sheet soon on their website!
THIS IS THE FREAKING NEWS OF THE CENTURY FOR ANDROID GAMERS!!!!

Ok so no Intel graphics that's fine. I always thought it was a little odd...anyways now we need to know when and where this will retail in physical stores!
All I know is that someone that speaks English needs to do a comprehensive review of this tablet on YouTube. For a device that has been trickling out world wide there HAS to be someone reviewing it and/or bench-marking it. SOMEONE PLEASE!

As far as i can see it has nvidia graphics (which would be logical), you can see that at the comparism page of HP

HP Clearly mentioned HD4000 in specs. I am planning get one.
$479 fot a 10.1 tablet with keyboard is a lot cheaper than competition.

HP has fixed their spec page now. It does NOT come with Intel graphics..which is fine...what is more concerning is that the rest of the world gets 32 GB and 64GB internal storage variants and the US so far only has a 16GB listed. That would prob give us 8-10 usable GB for apps and DRM videos which is not much. Come on HP bring the bigger ones to the US!
See this HP forum post for more info on the 32/64 GB versions: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Androi...X2-32GB-Internal-version-spotted/td-p/2822377

The performance on this tablet is superb. It definitely beats my asus infinity tf700 (still have) and nexus 10 (which i've returned) I don't see any lag or stutter and this is what android tablets should be. Which I can't say the same about the tf700 even with cromi x rom or data2sd mod. The nexus 10 has some stutter issue as well although not as bad. Now I did have wifi issue on my first unit but HP replaced it and sent me one overnight. No more wifi issue on this one. The only gripe I have is the screen does not have a high contrast like my tf700 and it has a warmer tone to it. Also cannot get as bright as the asus. I wish though that HP went with a higher res screen as when I connect to my TV via HDMI it either zooms in too much or I can change my tv setting to "fit" but I have black bars on the side. But it is very smooth on my tv and lag and stutter free. My infinity lags when connected to my TV. Also the rear camera is crap but I never use tablet cameras anyhow. Build quality is pretty good. Keyboard is great but lacks a unlock button. But the multitouch mousepad is great. I can pinch to zoom or do anything I can do with the screen. I really hope Asus' new infinity pad will perform as well as this as this may just be a place holder till they release it.

If you buy from HP LOOK FOR COUPONS.. I got for $455

HP has fixed their spec page now. It does NOT come with Intel graphics..which is fine...what is more concerning is that the rest of the world gets 32 GB and 64GB internal storage variants and the US so far only has a 16GB listed. That would prob give us 8-10 usable GB for apps and DRM videos which is not much. Come on HP bring the bigger ones to the US!
See this HP forum post for more info on the 32/64 GB versions: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Androi...X2-32GB-Internal-version-spotted/td-p/2822377

The SD card does stick out about 1mm so that may not be good.

I'm wondering the same but haven't found one anywhere even outside xda. Wonder if the slate 7 root method will work. Have to find that thread again. How did you get a 64gb version? I wanted a 32 but could only find a 16gb version on hp.com.

I don't think we should expect soon some development on the HP SlateBook X2 : we're not able to connect it to a computer...

That's what I'm afraid of. Since the tablet is only 16gb I need to be able to use Folder Mount or maybe GL to SD and both require root

I wonder if Version B/Pro will really come with a Moorefield SoC, because not even the ZenFone 2 has a Windows 10 ROM and I think the Imagination GPU doesn't have drivers for Windows.

This would be amazing if true but exceedingly unlikely: perhaps an Atom X5 doesn't generate too much heat when crammed into a phablet-sized device? I'd pay upwards of $400 for a developer-friendly phablet with Intel HD (Broadwell/Gen8, not PowerVR) graphics. I've been waiting for a Linux-friendly Intel powered phone since before Bay Trail, and I may still be waiting a year from now unless my above fantasy pans out.

I've got Elephone P7000, it is good phone, I am really looking forward to Elephone Vowney phone.

What is the weight of Elephone Vowney
Hello,
I got confused about the weight of this phone, on website says it is 650 grams, then it will be very heavy to carry. So kindly somebody can explain some details about the exact weight of this otherwise excellent mobile.
Is the chip ' 64-bit MTK6795 CPU Octa Core' processor is faster than or equelent to Snapdragon 810?
Thanking You
Dr.saidalavi

I dont think windows rom support is correct. its not memtioned in the highlites
Am wondering about the cm12.1 support. Does this mean the sources will be out?
would be cool if the device tree is reusable to build a pletora of custom roms. Then this can have a device forum right?
would be awesome.

dunno about its power efficiency though. may perform better but suck more juice.
for me the lte support would be important as well as custom roms capability

I saw the weight on website but I saw specs on other sites and it shows 169g. I don't think it could be 650g which more than half kg :laugh:

Assalamu Alaikum(Peace from to all), my friend from Pakistan,
I am not differentiating the members of this forum according to their nationality, but for an Indian it is special when a reply comes from his Pakistani brother, that is all
Thank you very much for the reply,
When I read about the weight of the phone in one website, I had a bigger smiley of course on my face, and I thought it may be wrong also, as nobody can carry such a phone with them.I want to confirm it before ordering , otherwise the spec as so impressive, so I am waiting for its release. So your reply is a great assistance to me.
Thanks

How good is Elephone at putting out updates? Any feeling on how long it will take Elephone to upgrade its phones to Android M?

Sir I told you about the weight. It was mention 650g maybe because of auto correct or spell mistake. I confirmed the weight which is 169g. You can order the phone which is going to release on 20th june.
stay happy

the updates are frequent and quicker because they don't have millions of customer like samsung. If they give M upgrade then you will get before Samsung S6 pretty sure.

I just noticed on elephone.cc that it's now saying the 20th of August for the release date. I suppose that makes sense, at least for the Vowney Pro/version B (the one that dual boots Windows 10 and Android) since Windows 10 isn't supposed to be out until the end of July anyhow. I really hope the Pro has an Atom X5 and US LTE band support, because Elephone is the only OEM so far that has gotten me this close to being excited about my dream x86 developer phone finally being made!

Well, most preliminary information I've seen indicate that this phone will have an Atom Z3580 SoC, which contains a PowerVR GPU. Since I'm unlikely to ever get a phone, even a phablet, with tablet-class graphics, let alone one that has open source driver support for running Linux, I just gave up on getting this one and ordered myself a 64GB/4GB RAM ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML, which should be arriving tomorrow. It may even be cheaper than importing a Vowney Pro at this point. I of course would love to be wrong.

Elephone Vowney is Elephone flagship phone?

They have a dedicated page for it now: http://www.elephone.cc/elephone-vowney.html
I wish it wasnt soo big! I want a 5.2" device....come one people!

they give a discount to the people who bought one of the first 5000 elephone p8000 without led.
Did we know anything about, did we know when it will be out?

Doesnt look like this will work with ATT due to bands right?

How is Windows going to run on that SoC?
