Celkon A118 - User Reviews

  • check this out Best 4K Televisions under Rs. 50000

  • Excellent phone and reasonable price. I have been using since last 2 years and no issues so far. Working perfect.

  • With.first.Celkon a118

  • Working is very good but any where accessories are not available you can buy this phone but you should see safely but its aa great thing

  • i love it good mobile

  • Great Phone, easy to use, decent battery back up, good picture clarity, auto focus and flash are up to the mark. Drawback: Speaker broke down once, it was replaced free of cost within few minutes but again the speaker is giving trouble [noisy]Battery is not tight to the body it keeps getting loose. My advice is do not use cardboard it makes the problem worse.Each time this problem happens your phone will shut down and you need to open the casing and fix the battery again to get it working. But still I say it is a great instrument.

  • It is really a good phone nice clarity and resolution i am using this mobile since almost 2 years till now i am not getting any problem

  • I am unable to download any media in whats app using celkon A118 model. please let me know if any solution.

  • Hi rvk i would like to suggest you to buy ckon a118 becoz you will going to get almost all the features in it which are greater then xolo 800 and canvas a110 . The main thing is screen resolution you will get a vast screen resolution of 720*1280 which is very good as compared to xolo which have 540*960 resolution and also it has a4.5 inch screen but celkon a118 has 5 inch screen if i talk about micromax canvas a110 it has only 512 mb of ram and a screen resolution of 480*854 and also it has a android version of sandvich but celkon has the latest version of android but the only diffrence betwn them is that celkon is slightly higher in price as compare to them..... But even then i willl suggest you to gp with celkon a118 as it is the best

  • Is it rly gud phn 2 have or not......... as it is nt wel knw in India

  • Celkon a119q 12 mp camera and celkon a118 camera 8mp are the same. Both have 8 mp camera. In celkon a119q the camera is made to take 12 mp pictures by software interpolation. Quality does not change significantly. Look wise, having usb otg support, etc. A118 is better. Guys, I have made a CWM recovery for a118. It is in the facebook page as well as on xda. For fb page, add /groups/celkona118 after the fb address.

  • thanks...

  • well Features wise these three are best. Celkon A119Q Signature HD, Celkon A118 Signature HD,Micromax A116 Canvas HD. Actually it depends on your need.. if u need not to insert pendrive on ur phone then go for Celkon A119Q . it will be the best choice. bcoz of 12 MP camera and 2100mah battery. Rest all things are same... And what about Canvas HD and Celkon A118? the answer is: both are same and have same features. (both have 8 MP primary camera and both supports USB OTG and all features are same) except some. Canvas HD front camera 2MP Celkon A118 front camera 3 MP (better camera) Canvas HD 155 gm Celkon A118 132 gm (lighter) canvas HD is 10.7 mm celkon a118 is 9 mm (its very slim) canvas hd price 13500 celkon a118 price 11000 u can see clearly Celkon A118 is best choice. (price wise and features wise). Go for Canvas HD.. if you can pay 2500 for just a Micromax logo on your phone. and never think to buy A110Q Canvas 2 Plus. Disply is very dull (only~196ppi ). processor is not good. its MTK MT6589M. it is the least ranking Processor in Mediatek 6589 Series. and 1 more thing.. only White color Celkon A118 are available. if you want a black phone go for Canvas HD or Celkon A119Q.

  • Which one is good to buy a119q or a118 in all aspect...

  • bro U can check this out here..

  • how can you say it Have Defeated all its Competitors Micromax A116HD xolo Q1000 Zen HD ? m nt agree with u

  • Hi guys, I like to share my experience of my new mobile Celkon A118 Signature HD with you. I got this mobile at Rs 11976 from INFIBEAM. Celkon A118 Signature HD is one of the finest product in its segment.(Rs.10000-15000) Considering the fact that it is not so well known brand in the market, it has come up to my expectation pretty well. Bought this after going through various reviews , user comments and comparisons on multiple websites. I had been a little skeptic at first but then I just went for it and now I have a phone that makes everyone jealous around me specially the display of the phone. Both the cameras are awesome and takes nice pictures. The quality of the product is excellent. I really enjoying its touch and I am not facing any problem while carrying this(only 132 gm) , I have installed additional application like temple run2,dead trigger, true caller, whatsapp, we chat,line,hike, app lock, astro and two or more dictionaries its running smoothly. Last 15 days I am using still not found hanging or any trouble. 1. Processor 10/10 2.Memory 8/10 3.Ram 10/10 4.Camera 9/10 (FULL HD video recording 1080p) 5.Sound 10/10 (10 inbuilt equalizers sets with 5 band users equalizer setting , 3D effects setting , BASS BOOST settings are available) 6.Display 10/10( Resolution 720*1280 ~320dpi Awesome , it has IPS LCD~ technology that is used in apple phones) 7.Built quality 9/10 compare to Samsung 8.Price 9/10 (as I paid extra 1200 bucks compared to snapdeal) So I strongly recommended to buy this super phone. Benchmarks are high compare to Canvas HD A116 and Grand. So Overall i would Say its a Perfect mobile to Buy If u are having less money.. i would Instead of Going to 20K mobile u can Go for this because u have all packed in this just the company varies .But Yes it Have Defeated all its Competitors Micromax A116HD xolo Q1000 Zen HD . They Have Lost . This MObile Price Is Very low But u get all the feature for the Higher End mobile . Its good to buy a celkon A118 signature HD instead of high end established mobile companies that charge a hefty price. I recommend this phone for people who are not going for premium phones of above 30,000 for same features.. In short This is real value for your Hard Earned Money. The device poses all the features to impress its user that too for extremely low cost. Since The Money Is Very less, I am a Common Man. Verdict: A Good Product From Celkon ,its time to Bring Company up Over all Rating : 4/5.

  • Well Specifications seems to be all great for such a low price comparative to high end mobiles from well familiar brands. For cheap price you get cheap product. That means.....you will end up in wasting the money. My advice for buyers is. Before buying mobiles from unknown brands. Make sure you do certain things... Call the customer care of the company and then nearest service center for answers to these questions.... *.How long software support will be there. *.How long spare parts will be available. *.OTA updates. will they support are not. According to my knowledge all the mobiles in india that come with MTK chipset are mostly generic custom manufactured by chinese. I doubt they even have any kind of R&D department of their own(i'm not talking about assembling units). Anyway, let me not break your interest by increasing the unnecessary doubts. Go check the mobile use it and feel it compare with known branded mobiles. Then make a decision(Don't buy any mobile just buy seeing specifications or advertisements) please don't get fooled by specifications and advertisements. My advice is for all the mobiles that come with MTK chipset in india.
