I was just scrolling through my email and then i saw this. As you can see it’s a new phone with 5 inch qHD display from Karbonn. The special thing about it is its price. Karbonn Titanium S5 Ultra is exclusively available on ebay.in as of now. I think this is the cheapest ever smartphone launched at least in India with a 5 inch display and a decent chipset.

You can call Sony Xperia E3 the ‘meh’ phone. Meh because, the kind of specs this phone has you’d probably have heard of thousand times before. The only thing special about Xperia E3 is its price and the fact that it is made by Sony. Which is not so special any more. But at least its build quality is better than most of the similarly priced devices.
Sony Xperia E3 turned out to be quite the performer in benchmarks. But a phone with Snapdragon 400 chipset and at this price, i didn’t expect it to perform this good. If you look at the antutu screenshot below, you’ll see that it scored 18,000 points. In 3Dmark it was most of the time above 20 FPS, not bad.
Sony Xperia E3 Unboxing
Sony Xperia E3 is just another smartphone with Snapdragon 400 chipset but if you compare it with similarly priced phones from Samsung, HTC, Microsoft/Nokia then you’ll see that for the price it is not that bad. But if you compare it with octa-core smartphones from local companies then you might not even want to look at it. Sony should’ve collaborated with Google and made this an Android One smartphone. It would’ve sold like hot cakes just because of its design and build quality alone.
Android One Review
Micromax Canvas A1 aka Android One is the best 6,000 Rupees smartphone in India and maybe the best $100 smartphone in the world too. It’s not that it’s perfect but the fact that what this phone can do for the price you are paying is simply amazing. Although some people might not like it ‘çause it’s got 4.5 inches screen whereas 5 inches has become a somewhat standard or people’s choice now a days.
For Rs. 6,000 or $100 you can’t expect better benchmark and gaming performance than Micromax Canvas A1 or any of the three Android One smartphones, from the inside they are all the same after all. And Antutu failed to differentiate between entry level and high end smartphone again maybe because it only reads what’s inside not what the phone actually look like. Wish people were like Antutu too.
Micromax Canvas A1 is one of the three smartphones that is launched under the ‘Android One’ program in India. The rest two are Karbonn Sparkle V and Spice Dream Uno. The Android One program itself is launched in India first with more ‘develping countries’ to follow. All the phones under this program looks almost the same and have similar software & hardware specs. Especially software because its being supervised by Google itself.
