Micromax Mad is available in Indian market for a price of around 8,500 Rupees. For that price you will get a Broadcomm chipset with Quadcore CPU and Videocore IV HW GPU. You will get two 5 megapixel camera, yes not one but two. The only difference is front one doesn’t have a LED flash. You will get a 4.5 inch IPS display with decent viewing angles. It is a dual sim phone. The question is, what does this phone has that makes it different from other phones? Well, it has an app called “Mad App”, Mad here stands for ‘Mad about ads’. I wouldn’t call you ‘MAD’ but if you have no problem watching 1 or 2 ads every time before you make a call

Benchmark results of Micromax Mad surprised me, if not all, at least some did. For instance in one benchmark it scored higher than Samsung Galaxy S2, which is still nowhere near this price in the market. That benchmark was Antutu by the way. In 3DMark which is mainly a gaming and GPU related benchmark, it was refusing to even run because the device don’t even have 1GB RAM, which is required to run the benchmark properly but it ran anyway and it performed well below average, the average frame rate was below 20. So, can’t call it good. But all in all the overall benchmark performance was neutral.
Have you seen any cricket match lately on TV in India? Did you notice that Micromax is currently running a campaign about one of it’s new phones. This phone is not released or even announced yet but Micromax is advertising it with a tagline which says “Mad about ads?”. So out of curiosity, i dig a little here and there on the internet, and i now finally know what this phone and tagline is about.
