REVIEWS FROM ONLINE SHOPPING
COMPANIES!
1) Issues.
I am using this phone for 10 days now. There are many good things which people have mentioned so time for some real things.
1. The processor although "dual-core" is very sluggish. You install a live wallpaper and the phone starts to lag.
2. Cellular signals are not very strong and they keep coming and going.
3. Phone charging is fast but discharge even faster. Currently I need to charge the phone twice a day if I am using data connection/wi-fi for around an hour.
4. The charger pin is hard to remove and if you try to force it out, the plastic back also comes out along with it. The back does not fits completely and there is considerable gap in the sides.
5. If you are using your apps in USB mode the touch starts to act funny(maybe only in my case). You touch somewhere and the response comes somewhere else. You try to open one app but another one opens up.
6. The front camera although is 1.3 MP but the output is very sluggish.
7. The rear camera is good but if you try to take a panorama shot, the image is blur and jumbled.
8. The phone is not playing any video which is above 20 mb in size. I tried playing the videos through MX player but they just do not run.
9. RAM is 512 mb however the phone is not running any HD game.
So, make a informed decision.
Thanks.
2) Karbonn A21
The phone is fare in this price range. It contains many upgraded features like the processor.
But I bought it yesterday, and found some problems:
1) the back cover is not tight with the body.
2) the OS is fine in working, But the touch buttons given below some times hangs a little bit. then the you have to lock the screen and then unlock it again and it starts working.
3) Other than that all is well.....
its a fine phone to buy....large screen and the picture quality and the HD video quality on the screen is just great....
3)POOR QUALITY!
Got an A21 one month ago.
very good phone at the price but,
1. the screen gives a lot of disturbance.
2. the sound is very good, but the headphones gave way too soon.
3. during a call, the person at the opposite end cannot hear properly
4. and then, just within a month the phone suddenly stopped working! have to wait for a month to get the phone repaired from karbonn. Poor customer service!
Incase you are lucky and dont face these issues, then you wont regret buying it.
4)Bad Phone and bad
battery backup
I'm a person who likes to experiment with technologies and buy non-branded things and test them . I generally don't write reviews but to warn people that not to buy this phone,
I will be writing review as a layman, rather than a technical guy
Karbonn A21 has bad touch, if you a technical person you might find touch laggy as compared to iPhone or Samsung Galaxy Mobiles.
Then good performance of applications and games on phone . Sometimes some applications crash when you have opened too many apps in one go .
Games does not run smoothly on this Phone.
The bad thing about this is its Battery Backup, If you use too many applications and Wi-fi , battery vanishes like anything
5)REALLY PATHETIC PHONE!
I bought this phone and using it over 45 days now. The speakers are bad, screen brightness keeps fluctuating causing irritation to eyes, Ear phones that do not work and plastic panel for rear does not fit properly.
"You are connected to Karbonn server" notification is another problem area since it does not disappear after after flashing on screen.
Panorama shots are better not to be mentioned at all.
Mother of all problems is the authorised service centers who are not ready to create a DO for fixing these problems.
The authorised dealers in Gurgaon say that online e-tailing sites are selling all discarded phones from Karbonn.
6)waste of money
i got it here in local bangalore for rs-10600.when it was newer,it was working good..after 15days its starts getting lag so many times..finally i cant run d mobile nw bcos it lost d os..n d service also waste..frnds i m suggesting u dont go for any local mobiles..just go for branded.... i will giv only 1 star for this one...

According to Finetic and Online Shopping Companies, this phone sucks. Not only this one, all Karbonn Mobiles. Don't go for Karbonn's any phone...!
