  • A7* berate

  • Tooo bad.... hanging.... cant accss the apps... low intrnal memory... before one year i bought 5500 .. now price oly 2000... so sad.... no 3g...

  • I can't play many games such as subway surfers,temple run and all the racing games because of this phone

  • guess i arrived here a little too early....(^_-)

  • i see all these people complaining the phone is bad and all....!! What, you are expecting a $50 phone to run like a $250+ phone???

  • Reset

  • battery back up not good

  • Network problem

  • It's battry is so bad

  • poor battery life

  • karbon a3* handset is not working youtube, and many games not plying thise phone.

  • this mobile betterthen Samsung ace 5830 karbonn a3* low price and good fetures Skype video call also supported with wifi

  • Incoming-Outgoing voice quality is very poor.

  • Repenting on buying this phone. repeatedly hangs, low internal memory. Contacts keep on disappearing / going blank inspite of importing many times & gives errors. Phone dialer is very slow & times out midway. logs get deleted automatically. not a good phone to buy.

  • i have this mobile.And i use this for 1 year,but my problem is that that the mobile has only 210 mb RAM and only 180 MB phone memory. so why you said that the phone has 256 MB ram its haven't a 3G,Auto Rotation, And i can't playing good games like a Temple Run, Subway surfers. its goes hang very speedly. so creat mobile better then this.

  • Not supporting more than 4-5 apps or games only, Others problems very low internal memory, main thing is that there is no 3g .....:(

  • Yes, this phone to bad I can'nt play any good game likes Templerun, fifa etc But has good battery and good touch screen. Note; the smart phones of Karbonn like S5plus & other are good ones.

  • man this phone hangs out, , not good to play any games , no 3G no auto rotation ,and its having an old os of android ginger bread 2.36 , it is better to buy an other smart phone this phone dose not support temple run or other auto rotation games, so gamers dont buy this phone its waste of money
