Comparisons Featuring Micromax A100

Short Review

  • The Micromax A100 features a plastic build with dimensions of 142.2 x 72.6 x 11.9 mm and weighs 168 grams, making it relatively portable.
  • It sports a 5.0-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU, supported by 4GB of RAM and an Adreno 200 GPU, which may struggle with demanding applications.

  • The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, providing limited usage time without fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is outdated compared to modern standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
  • The phone does not have stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the Micromax A100 offers basic functionality with limited performance and camera capabilities.
