When
Samsung launched Galaxy Note, critics were a little skeptic about the reception
that the phablet would get in the market worldwide. But the phablet, as soon as
it was launched, silenced all the criticism and skepticism that was created
around it. Gradually the public interest rose and the demand for the new genre
of mobile phones called phablet increased. But price, which is the biggest area
of concern in the domestic market, comes in the way of most of the folks
interested in phablets.
To
explore the possibilities, the domestic companies like Micromax, Spice, and
others come with phablets, which are not just
good but cost effective as well. But then, the vital question is, which one
should the buyers take among the plethora of phablets in the markets. And to
provide the readers with a solution I am going to do a comparison between the
best phablets available in the domestic market, namely: Spice Stellar HorizonMi-500 and Micromax Superfone Canvas A100. So let’s get started, without delay.
Esthetics
Both
the devices are equipped with a 5 inch display; both the displays have WVGA (800x480)
resolution. Both the handsets are well equipped with sensors like Accelerometer,
proximity, G-sensor. In the weight and dimension segment the Micromax handset is a little ahead
of the Spice Mi-500 but as far as the looks is concerned Spice turns the table
on Micromax. I would call it a tie.
CPU
and RAM
In
this segment the Spice handset seems to be donning the victor’s crown as it has got a 1GHz dual
core processor, whereas the A100 has got a 1GHz single core processor, the
difference is quite conspicuous. Both processors are seconded by a 512MB RAM.
Storage
In
the storage segment the Spice Mi-500 and Micromax A100 both offer the users a
built-in memory of 4GB and both of them possess an expansion capacity of 32GB.
Both are equals here as well.
Camera
The
5MP primary camera of the Mi-500 is supported by a dual LED flash, in reply
the Micromax A100 also dons a 5MP camera but has support of a single LED flash.
As far as the front camera is concerned, both the handsets has 0.3MP camera on
the front side of the body. With a little bit of up and down I would call it a
tie.
Battery
For
a mobile as big as Mi-500 or A100, the battery spec becomes as pivotal as anything.
The Mi-500 houses a mammoth 2400 mAh battery, the Micromax A100 comes in with a
2000 mAh battery. Both the phones have a strong battery capacity but Mi has a
conspicuous edge over the A100.
Operating
System
Both
the handsets are Android IceCream Sandwich powered devices. And there is no
need to say that the ICS is the best user friendly Android till date.
The
Verdict
After going through all the
tech specs of either of the handsets, one feels that there is not much to
differentiate between the two of the handsets. But with better battery and
faster processor, the Spice Mi-500 becomes the better handset between the two
good mobile phones. Go for the Spice Stellar Horizon Mi-500. Like the article, you might also like to read:
