Karbonn A111 - User Reviews

  • very bad phone. No one could hear me well on this phone. Screen resolution is also bad.. gives a bluish tinge. They have stopped production now but I say dont buy the higher version too. I m thoroughly disgusted with this phone.

  • vry bad phone...

  • I don't know whn did phone was released but I bought on 12 Feb 2013 from Saholic.com I am still using this phone Excellent experience Good phone No many lags Wait for update No hang while gaming I'm always play NFS Most Wanted I'm Always Play HAYDAY

  • Maybe in 3G internet Airtel is best

  • can u tell me how to save new contacts in karbonn a111 as there is no option showing for saving new contact in either sim. all contacts r saved in phone memory directly nd shows phone memory only, unsynchronised contacts. can u help me to get rid of this problem.

  • sim 1 slot already 3G. but why the speed give us so slow.? I'm using also airtel 3G or Idea 3G net. so plz tell me better situation.

  • Using this phone now for more than 2 years, its good but no update for android OS till date. rest about hardware & other specs its too good

  • can u tell me how to save contacts in sim 1or 2 coz while saving contacts there is no such option showing for sim 1 or 2. contacts r saving directly in phone memory.

  • Why karbonn is not giving us ota updates? We r still stuck on ICS ..while people are using kitkat on other phones

  • Firstly the voice quality of the phone will deteriorate and you will have a lot of trouble speaking to people on the phone. The contacts will disappear and you will have to save it all over again.. and again and again.. better go for other Karbonn versions like A21 which has a smaller screen but far far better than A111 i terms of the touch sensor and screen resolution. I have both the phones so you can take my word for it.

  • bro plsss help me... by telling me the dimension and number of pin its battery has... I need to find out if its baterry is a substitute for my karbonn a8 set... my sets battery got bloated and is unavailable in the market... plss help me...

Every one thirst for above spec with min cost

  • good phone....i like ....

  • Karbonn A111 very nice phone.

  • hello guys...i purchased a111 last mnth n now fully prepared to give a detailed review on this masterpiece...following are the pros i noticed - 1) big screen 5 inch 2) superb touch quality...u can compare wid most costly phones... 3) superfast cpu...no lags at all even while swiping the screen.. really faster than canvas2...thnx to d 1.2 Ghz dual core snapdragon.. 4) good gpu...(adreno 203) found in most high end branded devices.... 5) 3g speed awesome...i get 600 kbps speed on docomo 3g.. surfing on net and downloading is fun.... 5) best feature which defeats canvas2 - temple run 2 runs smooth without any lag...ull notice lags in canvas2.....all games like subway n all supported.... 6) camera quality better than canvas2...nice pics in night mode wid flash.... 7) video quality awesome . guys , watching videos on a 5 inch screen is a boon !! 8)the best part - battery....ya...this is the most imp thing as other features hold useless if no powefull battery is provided...guys , this phone has got 2150mah battery !! gr8 backup.. once i fully charge it in the morning, with moderate gaming, both sim active, moderate net surfing(2g) , it lasts for one n half day....n wid heavy gaming n 3g usage, it will easily go for a full day... this is the biggest plus point.... 9) when u hold it in front of people, u feel proud... 10) n last but not the least, all dis package for just rs 9000..... canvas2 was being sold in black for rs 11000.....wtf !! uski itni aukad bhi nahi thi yaar.....lol Now the cons - 1) its bulky....ya.... very much heavy to carry... 2) resolution and color fails....not even IPS LCD....a guy sitting on my side cant see anything on the screen...zero viewing angles..... 3) this cell is not made for heavy gaming of HD games like temple run2, aspahlt 7 etc.... if i play temple run 2 for more than 15 min, the cell hangs and restarts....this is the saddest thing for me as m a temple run lover....but all other mildly intensive games ull face no problem at all......leaving temple run aside, no other game faced dis prblm ... 4)gets very much hot if continuous gaming n 3G usage.........normal in most android devices. 5) no video recording at 720p.....sad..... also 720*1080p video format not supported....i tried playing on MX and VLC....no use....there were lags....but actually this doesnt matter me as 540p quality is too much for watching videos.... 6) cheapest quality headphones....my god....the china headphones we get at 60-70 rs r better.... btw, i dnt lisn music at all....so it dsnt matter me.. So......this was all about the karbonn A111 !! looking at both, the pros n cons, i personally think that this is the best buy under 10k budget....ya, only if u arnt a heavy gamer n music lover......rest all is best .....n about gaming also, i faced the hanging issue only with HD games ... if u get canvas2 at rs 10k , then straightway go for it....but if above that, go for A111 ......the pros canvas2 gets over this A111 are - good screen resolution(IPS LCD) , 16M colurs...really good, nice viewing angles.. very light weight n most imp ..it looks similar to note2....impression aur style marne ke liye anytime canvas2 !! but at loe budget n all good features, A111..... i hope u liked my review guys.....plz do reply n correct me if u find anything wrong....thank you
