Comparisons Featuring Micromax A90s
Short Review
- The Micromax A90s features a compact design with dimensions of 127.2 x 66.8 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 118.4g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- It sports a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing decent color reproduction at approximately 217 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 processor and 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit capable of capturing video, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery capacity is 1600 mAh, which may require frequent charging given the device's age and usage patterns.
- Running on Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is limited by modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature water resistance or premium materials, focusing instead on a straightforward build.
- The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, but it retains a standard headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Micromax A90s serves as a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for light users.
