The body of the mobile is not that flash and is given a very basic design and feels quite comfortable in the hand. The screen is TFT 3.2" Capacitive display capable of distinguishing 256K colors.The touch is pretty decent and responsive with an odd lag here and there.
It is powered with a 600 MHz processor which is on the lower side considering the fact that it is running Android. Android is quite heavy and puts a lot of burden on the hardware. But it seemed quite alright and there are not many crashes on lags. Not in the same league as some of high end Samsung or HTC products but it is satisfactory for an average user.
It is running Android v2.2(Froyo). Android looks good on the phone and gives it a unique look. The interface is also pretty decent and doesn't look complicated and confusing. A number of apps can be downloaded from online stores.
The camera can be considered as one of the weakest points of the phone. It is provided with a 5 MP shutter which consists of Auto-focus and LED Flash. The quality of the camera is not at all good and colors seem very dull. The flash is not much helpful in enhancing the colors of the pics. It also consists of a secondary camera but it has no video call support, so that feature becomes a waste.
Overall, it is a good phone and if you want a low-price Android, this should be your choice. Although, it possesses some serious negatives such as bad camera, bad battery life and 3G without video call support.
