Comparisons Featuring Micromax A84
Short Review
- The Micromax A84 features a compact design with dimensions of 125 x 65 x 10.6 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 3.98-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 234 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6575 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, although it lacks RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of capturing basic images and video, but it does not include optical image stabilization or a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity stands at 1630 mAh, which may require frequent recharging given the device's performance demands.
- Running on Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- Overall, the Micromax A84 is a basic smartphone that meets minimal requirements for everyday use.
- Its design and build quality are adequate for its time, but it lacks many features found in contemporary devices.
