Are you guys
thinking that the Samsung Galaxy Note is too expensive to grasp in your hand
and flaunt in front of your buddies? No need to worry. Spice is coming up with
a gigantic handset to please you all – Spice Stellar Horizon Mi-500- which will
hit the market by 1st week of October. This post, dear readers,
would not just give you a full view of the phablet but also tell you that it is
not necessary to spend a 30K for a 5 inch phone. So, why wait, let’s divulge
into a review.
First and the
most eye catching thing about the handset is its intimidating size, the sheer 5inch size of the device takes it in a league where there are only couple of
other handsets to give company(read competition). The big 5 inch screen is full
of vivacious colors and the touch is superb, for crisp images an 800x480p resolution has been incorporated to the screen . And the sensors like proximity
sensor and accelerometer sensor 3(D) add glitter to glory.
Moving on, the
phone has a 5MP camera on the rear side of the body and a VGA one on the front
side for video chat and self portrait. The main camera is supported by a dual LED
flash. And there is no need to say that the camera has no dearth of additional
features, such as auto focus, portrait, landscape & other modes, and
various effects. I am, here affixing some of the pics taken from
the phone camera itself.
For the speed
lovers the handset offers a Dual processor, which has a clock speed of 1GHz. The
superfast processor is backed by a 512MB RAM, the combination is lethal, pretty
lethal.
In the
connectivity segment there is Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi hotspot, USB
connectivity, GPRS, and HSPA. With the 3G(HSPA) capability the phone is at the
same pedestal with handsets like the Samsung Galaxy Note. In addition the handset has a dual SIM support
as well.
If one wants to
peep into the battery capabilities of the handset, it has a Li-Ion 2400 mAh
battery, which without doubt is one of the high points of the handset.
Moving towards
the Operating System of the handset, it has got the best in the business –
Android IceCream Sandwich 4.0 (ICS). As far as apps are concerned, we are all
familiar with the fact that how big the Play Store range is in this regard. You
can just download and use apps or games of your choice. In addition, there are
GPS and Google maps to help you in unfamiliar territories.
No, we are not
finished yet; I know that most of you like your handsets to be stylish in
looks, so I am not expected to end the review without describing how the
handset looks. Its rectangular accent makes it much similar to Note or Samsung Galaxy SII, or
with an iPhone, if you can imagine a stretched version of it. That itself
suffices the looks. This look and feel video would tighten the remaining loose
screws, if there are any.
Plus, you get the
preloaded NetQin app to make your Android experience safe form unwanted
malware, absolutely free. Plus you get pre-loaded apps like WhatsApp, Dhingana, and Facebook to make your experience even sweeter.
So, what do you
think of the handset, is it worth your while or not, kindly let me know through
your comments, no need to say how much we treasure your remarks here at

ReplyDeleteGreat review guys. Got a couple of questions.
ReplyDeleteDoes it have any mods to ICS?
Can we please see a screenshot/pic of the dialler screen and the notification area?
Are there shortcuts to wifi, data, silent, bluetooth etc in the notification area?
Does the dialler support SIM selection i.e two call buttons?
Is there smartdial to easily access numbers from dialler itself?
How much internal memory is allocated to apps 500MB or 1GB?
How are the viewing angles of the screen?
Can it play 1080p video smoothly in MX player?
Does it support popular 3d/HD games like NOVA3, NFS, and Asphalt 7?
How is the data speed? Are there any call dropping issues?
Your unit had a broken screen. Does this mean it doesn't have toughened glass like Gorilla glass?
