Comparisons Featuring Micromax A78
Short Review
- The Micromax A78 features a compact design with dimensions of 120 x 63.5 x 10.9 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 360 x 480 pixels, providing decent clarity with a pixel density of 360 PPI.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6573 chipset, with a 650 MHz Cortex-A9 CPU and PowerVR SGX531 GPU, although it lacks RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.

- The battery capacity stands at 1300 mAh, supporting basic usage without fast charging or wireless options.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is quite dated, lacking modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a headphone jack, catering to traditional audio needs.
- Overall, the Micromax A78 is a basic phone with essential features suitable for minimalistic use.
