- The Karbonn A15 features a compact design with a 4.0-inch TFT display, offering a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels at approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a 1.0 GHz CPU and 512MB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
- The device includes 4GB of internal storage, with around 2.5GB available for user data.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP, allowing for basic photography, but lacks advanced features like OIS.
- Battery life is supported by a 1420 mAh capacity, which may require frequent charging due to its modest size.
- Running on Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is dated and lacks modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
