The
response to my last post on the Spice Mi-425 was humongous, people seem to be
pretty curious about the handset, but there are people who are skeptical too.
There are more than few people who asked me the same question – why should we
go for the said handset when we can buy a Samsung or a Nokia handset with
couple of thousand bucks more? And they are real queries, you are paying your
hard earned money for the handset, you got to be sure enough. This article will
give you five reasons to go for the Spice Mi-425.
1. The most conspicuous and paramount reason is
the bright and color rich 4 inch screen of the handset, which happens to be a
TFT LCD one with a resolution of 800x480p. The screen supports more than 262k
colors. When I first held the handset in my hand I was enchanted for a moment
or two.
2. The second thing that goes in
the favor of the Spice Mi-425 is the 1GHz processor, which is not just 1GHz for
the name’s sake it functions like one. Fast.
3. Third thing is the Android 2.3
Gingerbread OS, which in itself is a
very good operating system and the added advantage is the proposed ICS upgrade.
No need to mention that the ICS is the latest and the best Android OS till
date.
4. The fourth thing that makes the Mi-425 special
is the marathon 2000 mAh battery. The battery in the handset is better than the
Nokia Lumia series and many of the Galaxy series handset as well.
5. The 5MP rear camera is a boon for the image
lover. In the last post, I did give a little bit of demonstration of the camera
proficiencies of the handset; no need to say that were above the expectation
level, you can see that yourself.
Hey

Deleteregards...
hi arindam, Mi-425 has 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM (enough to run the OS smoothly) and 140 MB user available memory. The performance of the phone is really good even when you stream videos or play games. The only issue is, the phone asks you to insert a memory card, when you use the camera.
DeleteDoes it have screen glass protector like Gorilla Glass or any other?
ReplyDeleteNo.. it doen't have a Gorilla Glass :-(
ReplyDelete@Vrinda:: How the internal memory affects a phone performance? 512 and 140 mb is a big difference.. Will this low internal memory affect my phone's performance in any way? Will it be possible to upgrade and perform well while it will be upgraded to ICS with 140mb???? I have no idea regarding this issue..please help me... Thank you...
ReplyDeleteHello Vrinda Sir, I want to know that spice mi 425 has 140 mb internal memory will it affect on phone's working & cause of hanging problem? And i have read on the mobile indian site that battery backup of this phone is not good, is it true?
ReplyDeleteIt comes with 512MB RAM and 512MB ROM - good enough. I found performance satisfactory, while gaming and browsing. The battery backup is good.
DeleteMr. Vrinda I want buy this phone but on lots of site i have read that due to low internal memory (Only 140 mb) this phone will be proved failure. Plz help me out Sir should i buy this phone or not?
ReplyDeleteMr. Vrinda I want to buy this phone (spice mi 425) but I m confused becoz i have read on many sites that this phone will be rejected due to its low internal memory (only 140 mb) they said some of the software cannot not be movable to Sd card it will be a headache even you have 32gb card. Sir, Im a big fans of urs and ur blog, so plz help me out, shall I buy it or not
ReplyDeleteWith new software released to service center internal memory has been increased upto 164 MB.
DeleteFor apps - maximum apps from market including major downloaded games can be moved to SD easily, whereas for apps which are not movable, 164 MB internal memory is sufficient.

ReplyDeleteI recently purchased this mobile. Specification wise it is a good dual sim smart phone. But it lacks two important features,
ReplyDelete1. Internal user Memory is low. No of active user APP is limited.many of the APP cannot be transfered to SD card
2. Audio quality is poor. The speaker behind the phone get blocked when it is kept on the table due to this the ring tone is not audible.
How to remove unwanted apps from spice mi 350n and 425
ReplyDeleteIt is not possible to uninstall preloaded apps from the phone. You can only do it by rooting the phone. Rooting is not advisable as it is a risky process. Also it voids warranty of the device.
