Summary
- The Karbonn A5 features a 3.2-inch TFT display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, while the Micromax A57 Ninja 3.0 has a slightly larger 3.5-inch TFT display with the same resolution, resulting in a lower pixel density.
- Both devices are powered by a 1.0 GHz CPU and have 512MB of RAM, but the Micromax includes an Adreno 200 GPU for improved graphics performance.
- The rear camera on both phones is 3.15 MP with video recording capability, and neither has a front camera.
- The Micromax A57 has a larger 1400 mAh battery compared to the 1200 mAh battery of the Karbonn A5, which may provide better longevity.
- Both run on Android 2.3, but the Micromax version is slightly updated to 2.3.5, and both lack modern software features.
