Comparisons Featuring Micromax A101
Short Review
- The Micromax A101 features a plastic build with dimensions of 148 x 79 x 10.3 mm and weighs 200g, making it relatively bulky.
- It sports a 5.0-inch TFT display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 187 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, though only 2GB is available for user storage.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of video recording, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 2100 mAh, providing basic usage without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in black and white colors, with no water resistance features.
- Overall, the Micromax A101 offers basic functionality suitable for essential tasks.
- Special features are limited, focusing primarily on standard smartphone capabilities.
