Help Help friends!! in buying my new phone!!!

revanthchdg · Dec 3, 2011

I am ought buy an Android phone.I have decided and took two phones in my list

1)Micromax A70
2) Samsung Galaxy Y(which is Rs300 cheaper!)

I have no hesitates in buying Micromax A70, but
1) Micromax brand!!
2) Gingerbread update(till micromax release the kernel source code)
3 RAM
4)ADB issues!!

About the ADB issue, as micromax do not provide PC suite, I want to use "MyPhoneExplorer Client"

But it says the following

I am worried about the ADB, so friends test it by using MyPhoneExplorer Client!!! PLEASE PLEASE

But will it connect using Bluetooth without any problems????

Also one user told that it has dust problem!! So its another problem! anyone facing this issue??

IF the above points i mentioned are solved then I will buy it if not i will buy Samsung Galaxy Y without any hesitation

Please friends I am very much confused! :thinking:

And also Idea Blade has been launched which is re-branded version of ZTE Blade and with a 3G profit of Rs3500 for Rs7990!! which is a good option too!!

1. We have nothing to do with the brand as it is not manufactured by micromax and it is a re-brand.
2. i have guarantee that Gingerbread update will come. either by micromax or by me(hope so). Let my Exams finish i m going to get into work immediately
Morover we will never need the AOSP GB as CM7 can b easily ported as soon as source is released.
3.We can make unlock the remaining 256MB of RAM once kernel source is released(Let us assume Micromax A70 has 512Mb ram as said by gta)
4.ADB issues now dont exist.
Each and every problem is completely solved.
5.The dust problem depends on how you maintain the device a nd not by model.
Even if u buy galaxy y and u didn't care and maintain it properly this prob will occur with that also.
6.Just visit galaxy y forum u will get a bunch of issues in stock GB rom.
Samsung is releasing updates of GB making fix previous problem and make a new issue arise.
lol.....
Rest it depends on u what u want

I am using MyPhoneExplorer since 2-3 months and I am not having any single issue.Its working with bluetooth,wifi and even usb...no single issue.
And now there is no ADB issue anymore, U can see a 100% working thread which is double-triple tested by me & others and now we can say ADB works like a charm whether its windows or linux...
And have actually seen galaxy y??just compare screens of both phones, a70's screen is far more better..I have personally seen both phone side by side.U will notice dots due to lesser pixel density.
(A70- 320x480,180 ppi pixel density; Galaxy Y- 240x320,133 ppi pixel density)
Have a look at this too-

mmx a70 has the best features/price ratio for under rs 11k ... i.e if u neglect the brand ..
i have owned a c6-01 previously and this is(was) my first android phone and i hav to say im hugely impressed..
Now i have a defy plus, and use a70 as my secondary phone..
happy android shopping

edit:btw zte blade aka dell xcd35 aka idea blade has excellent screen with hdpi rezz 800by480...only thing it lacks is good battery life... my frieend owns one and battery lasts for 12 hrs (his phone is a year old)

samrox144 · Dec 3, 2011

Under 11k there is also LG optimus one ..which has better ram don't buy samsung y it is isn't good because of screen resolution ..
Hdpi phone will have a bit less battery because of there display and processing power...but it can be increased by a good kernel plus another good features will be it has ics rom already

sunil90 · Dec 3, 2011

^^but op1 doesnt have a 5MP camera and a Front one..
besides in gaming performance, there is almost no noticable difference betn stock a70 and stock optimus one

samrox144 · Dec 3, 2011

There is a camera difference but. Gaming you got wrong info ...as far I know no one likes stock I haven't flashed stock since a year

sunil90 · Dec 3, 2011

exactly.. Optimus one is very old, thats y it has so much dev support and good custom roms.. our kernel source hasnt even been released.. until then, we just have to wait and see..

EDIT:Also I doubt Micromax is that stupid to state publicly about releasing kernel source and not abiding by it

Sunil bro,

5MP is just a resolution size.. d quality depends apon the lence..
OP1 has better camera dan ours..
N gaming is also better as it has 512MB RAM...
m i right SAM?

sunil90 · Dec 3, 2011

I have had a sidebyside comparision of A70 to Op1 to Galaxy Ace.. I find no difference in gaming performance.. (Ace is slightly better i think).. I will upload a video if i have time

@Sentacy
2592x1944 vs 2048x1536

You decide which one is better.. I know Camera depends upon a lot other factors like lighting conditions and aperture size.. but there is almost no difference
Video capture on both is same though..depends on lighting conditions

samrox144 · Dec 4, 2011

I don't know about camera but in terms of gaming we have better experience then a70
Optimus has high developer support not because its old because its that good when it was released and it sold 1million copy in one week
The best hardware with cheap price at that time

Thanks for all your replies friends!! So how many of the have faced the dust problem?? does laminating the phone solve the problem??

And mainly SAR VALUE
MICROMAX A70 HAS 1.89
SAMSUNG GALAXY Y HAS 0.66!!

Should i really neglect the sar value??

sunil90 · Dec 4, 2011

SAR under 2.0 is fine..Do NOT Be paranoid about SAR values.. refer to this post before you decide anything

Only 1 and that too because of careless attitude towards the handset.

sunil90 · Dec 6, 2011
