Lava has launched the Iris 402+ 3G smartphone, which is the successor of the 3G 402 launched earlier. The phone is available in metallic grey, metallic brown and ivory white colors and is priced for Rs 6,499.

The Lava 3G 402+ smartphone is a dual-SIM (3G+GSM) phone which comes with a 4-inch WVGA (480×800 p) display like its predecessor. Lava says that the phone is powered by a 3G 402-like dual-core processor clocking at 1.2GHz, though this one works faster and gets a memory upgrade to 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory, from 256MB of RAM and 512MB of internal memory on the previous model. The rest of the features like a 3-megapixel rear camera and a VGA front camera and connectivity options like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS/AGPS remain the same like earlier.

On the software front, the 3G 402+ runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, which brings aboard a few, minor changes and bug fixes in the 4.2 Jelly Bean version running on the previous model. It also comes with some gesture based features like Shake to Connect and others.

At this price point, the 3G 402+ will compete against the likes of Panasonic T31 smartphone which comes at higher price point at Rs 7,990, or Videocon A24, which has similar features but comes with lower RAM and ROM, or the Spice 3G Stellar Glamour Mi 436, which has similar features and is available for Rs 5,999.

XOLO Q900 Video Review

The XOLO Q900 is another 1.2GHz quad core powered handset with a smaller screen of 4.7 inches with HD resolution. It is with the same hardware that we have seen on lava Iris 504q and the Micromax canvas A116 HD.

The XOLO Q900 looks beautiful thanks to the glossy white finish and the silver lining that surrounding the front screen. The build quality is very good that gives a premium look. The handset weight is 156 grams with battery, thickness is 10.16mm, breadth is 70.46mm and length is 137.34mm.

The 4.7 inch TFT screen is not scratch resistant and hence a screen guard is included in the box. Screen resolution is 1280×720 pixels and viewing angles are good. There is accelerometer, light, proximity, orientation and magnetic sensors.

The dot matrix is easily visible on the handset. If you tilt the handset a little bit in switched off mode you can see many dots (matrix). This is normal – this on screen dot matrix was reported on many other handsets. The dots are also visible when you are viewing the screen with a white background – it looks like dust particles.

There is 1GB RAM and 4GB internal storage. Of the 4GB storage 1.80GB is allocated as phone storage and 0.98GB as storage for apps. Of the 1GB RAM, 584MB is available (on the first boot after Unboxing). There is micro SD card slot that supports 32GB storage. Most of the apps / games can be installed on the external storage. OTG is not supported.

The Q900 comes with 8MP rear camera with flash. The camera quality is pretty good. It can record 1080p videos. There is front camera too of 2MP resolution. The handset can play full HD videos. The 1800 mAh battery gives talk time of up to 10 hours this is what the company claims. I used the handset for about 31 minutes (for download and ran the entire benchmark test) the battery dropped by 13% and temperature increased from 34 to 44 degree. I played some games for about 13 minutes – the battery dropped by 6%.

Key Features of XOLO Q900

• 8 MP Primary Camera
• Expandable Storage Capacity of 32 GB
• 1.2 GHz ARM A7 Quad Core Processor
• 4.7-inch HD Display
• Android v4.2 (Jelly Bean) OS
• Wi-Fi Enabled

Micromax Canvas Fun A63 Video Review

The Micromax A63 from the Canvas Fun series is a downgraded version of Micromax Canvas Fun A74. This dual SIM handset runs on Android 4.2 and is powered by 1.3GHz dual core processor. It houses a 4 inch touch screen, supports 3G and is priced at Rs. 6,399.


You will find the Micromax Canvas Fun A63, earphone, 1500 mAh removable battery, screen guard, warranty card, data cable, power adapter and user guide. The SAR value is 0.70 W/kg @1g head and 1.25W/kg @ 1g body.

The handset has got a good build quality; rear side is with matte finish. The power button is placed on the left, volume rockers on the right, 3.5mm audio jack and micro USB port on the top. This is a dual SIM handset and SIM slot 1 supports 3G.

Micromax A63 is light weight at 122 grams. Thickness is 11.84mm, breadth 65.79mm and length is 124.37mm. Screen is 4 inches (TFT) supporting WVGA – 800×480 pixels resolution with 16M colors. Touch is responsive, smooth and overall a lag free experience. Viewing angles are okay – not really that good. The A63 runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS. There is software update option from Micromax (OTA updates). There are two sensors accelerometer and proximity sensors.







Micromax Canvas Fun A63 comes loaded with 512MB RAM and 4Gigs of internal storage. Of 512MB RAM 230 MB is free and of 4GB storage, 1.1GB is assigned for apps and 1.12GB as phone storage. Micro SD slot is present that can house 32GB cards. Apps can be installed on external storage. OTG is not supported.

The MMX A63 houses a 1.3GHz MT6572 chipset (cortex A7) with Mali 400 MP GPU, it’s the same hardware as found on Micromax A74, Xolo A500S. The performance is good. Gaming is not that smooth as seen on A74 and A500S, there is a mild lag – check the video review. Modern combat 4 and Asphalt 7 did not show up on Google Play.

Don’t expect too much from the camera its fixed focus with 2MP resolution and LED flash that hardly works (though it does flash). There is front VGA camera too for video calls. Check the sample images shot using the A63 handset plus the 720p video sample. The still picture quality is okay and video at 720p with 12fps is no good. Full HD video playback is possible using MX player in H/W mode.

No issues with the sound, it loud and clear. This handset supports 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There is no built in GPS receiver, in fact the GPS option is missing in the Notification and quick settings options. You can use Wi-Fi and mobile networks to get the location but it’s not very accurate.

The 1500 mAh battery gives a talktime of up to 4 hours. I used the handset continuously for 30 minutes (running benchmarks, playing games etc) the battery dropped by 11% and temp rose to 37 degree.




Conclusion

The Micromax A63 competes with Xolo A500s and the Micromax Fun A74. All of these handsets use the same hardware with minor changes like screen size, design and battery. A63 is priced at Rs. 6,399 and does not come with built in GPS. The Xolo A500s is a better option for few hundred Rs. More or spend some extra and get the Micromax A74.

Key Features of Micromax Canvas FUN A63

• Android v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) OS
• 1.3 GHz Dual Core Processor
• 0.3 MP Secondary Camera
• 2 MP Primary Camera
