  • I am very dissatisfied with the phone. Please find below problems in the product. 1) Whenever I receive call to my phone, display gets disappeared even if phone is away from ear. 2) At the time of making outgoing call, display again disappears and even we press any button it does not come back. 3) When the caller disconnects the phone I am unable to make use of the phone and there is nothing at the screen. It�s completely gets blank  4) Every time I need to remove battery and then again connect it, then it works, no clue why this happens ? 5) Sometimes it does not detects Micro SD card. 6) It does take at least 5 minutes to read 4GB micro SD card. 7) Phone description says RAM is 512 MB but when I saw in the phone it is 387 MB. Where else I have seen my friends different brand phones has the exact RAM which is promised by the company. 8) Whenever I am using any inbuilt application it does not respond and it asks to close forcefully. 9) Please check 1st attached mail , I received this phone at 4:30 PM (28th March 2013), Since this time I am experiencing above problems. 10) I don�t want to run after warranty which is provided by the company I just need my money back, I am not even thinking of replacing it to same or any other phone. 11) Kindly let me know via phone. I know shopclues is best site and that�s the reason I have purchased it with friends recommendation. I am already using Spice phone but above problems are major. Request you to help me for the same.

  • dont ever buy spice mi-425 after buying next 2 days the disply is not wroking and again gave to service center got ready. after 26 days the entire disply is gone so the thing is the phone what i got has manufacture defect but the company needs to change my phone but they are not doing it

  • remove the laminiation over the proximity sensor. It is on the left of the front-camera

  • I had the same issues after I laminated the screen. The lamination over the proximity sensor on top right corner, needs to be removed.

  • The lamination over the sensor area (top right corner, to the left of the circular thing) needs to be uncovered for proper functioning of the phone. else the backlight switches off, and you have to connect the phone to mains to get back the screen.

  • After i buy my mi-425,I was happy .but with in 15 days i am feeling that i made a grate mistek.my phone is hanging always.and the salsman what he explane me is wrong.

  • after i buy my mi425 i gave to ics update its 1 month after also i don't got it back.so how can i trust this company?

  • i m using the yahoo messange so how to invite the web cam,,,plz send information how to connect the web cam

  • the problem is with the proximity sensor setting. dial *#36# goto proximity sensor press ok which is in chinese hold the phone near your ear for 10sec or you can hold ur hand on the p sensor then go back and check the phone do not touchanything else.

  • guys my question is to those who had updated to ICS... 1) Hows the overall performance of the fone afta updation to ICS n most particularly its battery backup..? 2) does updation leads to increase in internal memory n RAM of da fone or does it remains intact..?

  • hi buddy I also got the same problem which was because of the lemination over senser area, just remove the lemination from the sensor area ur prblm will be solved

  • guys did any1 updated to ICS on dis mobile...? If so den pls give a feedback hows it workn on ics.. And wat abut the display quality of this mobile..? Is it ok outdoors..? N last abt battery backup.. Hws it..? Thnx in advance..

  • I'm also using this phone and it is working fine. I like this phone as I play all the games in this phone and it works really. go for it guys

  • I have used many variety of brand. But spice comes with many problems. I have used spice phone earlier. Then also there was a problem. But now its comes with vast problems. I bought a spice stellar mi-425 on 11.10.2012. But the phone was not working from 21.10.2012.I submitted my phone in service center on 25.10.2012. Today I am standing on 27th day from when the day the phone was dead. still my phone is in service center. As per the job sheet 21 days is the maximum limit a customer should wait. From the day I bought the phone, more than using, it was kept due to the defect. The service of spice provided to the customer is very pathetic. As per the general customer I suggested to the new customer don't switch to spice.

  • this is to know you all that i have a set .mi425, which was working good ,but sudenly some problem came,my cell display goes off when im calling to ohters. and some time i cant cut the call when im getting off to it.the cell sensor is gone or software problem im still not getting the solution.

  • This is quiet nice phone in a budget of 9-10k,the touch is very smooth,IPS panel works pretty well gaming experince is also good as it has 1ghz processor with 200adreno GPU,the worst thing that made me disappoint is that it has only 140mb of internal memory.which allows u to install only few number of app on phone and even if you move thes apps to Micro SD card it consumes small space on phone. so i prefer you to go for KArbon or micromax as the offering more than 1GB of internal memory and good Specs at same price

  • This is a real real good phone.... and the problems which u guys are facing, are the problem in any smartphone............wether its samsung or htc....

  • Now my Spice MI- 425 is updated into ICS 4.0.3 :), but there are some issue after ICS update' 1) Screen get blank whn ever u rcv I/C call, and screen always on whn ever u make O/G call **You can resolve this problem but u have to calibrate your proxity sensor whn even u restart ur phone every time. 2) Google Map does'nt work after ICS update,You can only use map with enabled GPS but it take very long time to enabled it, u can't find your location with local network/ mobile network. Im nt too Happy nt To sad after upgradation, but spice have to fix these problems, now choice is yours u wana go with ICS update or not.

  • good news that upgrade to ics is available. Bt it can be updatable only from spice service center.

  • Guys, Don't buy this phone. This is scrap. If you spend an amount of Rs 10000, You should go for some other phone like Samsung htc etc. Internal memory is only 150 MB, Samsung has in GBs. I recommend, do not buy this phone.

  • guys me and my friend bought the phones on the same day he prefered samsung galaxy ace and bought this..... and now in todays date he regreted and bought this phone...... and now he's also the fan of it.... it is a very good fone as compare to others of this price..... go ahead dont make if's and but's just get this smartfone.....

  • i am using this phn from 2 mnths and this phn is giving me hanging problem... games does not goes well with this processor and dont purchase this phn

  • Vry nice phone but hw can i upgrade to ics??

  • I have been using this phone for the last 4 months. It is giving me great service. This dual sim phone is excellent to use. The touchscreen is very sensitive and the processor is quite fast. I have compared it to the higher priced samsung ace plus and find it is equally good if not better in all respects. Battery life is great and last for about 2 days. Anybody having this mobile on their short list may go for it without hesitation.

  • few days back my friend bought spice Mi-425,, from that day he is facing so many problems..hang, application errors,,

  • please do not buy Spice company's MI 425.The Fact is that piece is very Good & sturdy.However the Spice Service Centers are very poor in performance.If any thing goes wrong with your handset.Just throw it away.Spice staffers are very irresponsible ,has nothing to do with your hard earned money,instead spent 25% more & get reputed company's phone,whose service center is near to your home.

I face one and only problem i can't make loundspeaker in radio ........... Please let me know to slove this problem......

  • Worst phone brand i have ever tried, the touch screen is not good as i have expected

  • for all those who complain abt this phone first customise ur phone with holo launcher. secondly dont fix a screenguard over light sensor. i never faced even a small problem with the phone.dont be fooled by those android noobs.first few days mobile may restart since android needs to build enough cache.it can play most of the games smoothly and 6.:55 hrs video playback on 480p video. i admit it cant play 720/1080p video considering the price.i don mind abt this small drawback.

  • This is a very good handset as of now, after i done calibration the MI 425 is working very nice.. thanks spice team for u give us a nice handset....

  • No i dont think...so...

  • Spice MI-425 Steller is an unique Android phone in the market. Its battery backup is awesome. Initially it was bit slow because of NQ Antivirus and Vault application. I un-installed manually and now the phone is running smooth. Compare to Price and Quality, all matches over here.I personally thanks to SPICE for launching such phone in low cost.

  • m not able to change the settings of FM.Only 8z FM stations can b saved. case of missed calls.earphone is not workng properly...vry less voice in right ear ph.android speed is too slow.m unable to download anythng from google play store..it nvr opens.i hv add my gmail account to sunc.then also it nvr opens.plz tel me how to use goole play.i hv 2G plan..i wna download applications.my frn has micromax n he daily download apps from play store in 2g plan... reply....thnkx a lot...

  • Yes Ram and Rom are different, Rom is the fixed memory in which u can't change anything, and our mobile Os is installed in Rom where mobile only read it and can't change the files, spice mi 425 have 512mb Rom which is sufficient,... Ram is the random memory which is used by any application to run their resources because the speed of data transfer in Ram is 100 times faster than any sd card or internal memory, and spice mi 425 have 512 mb Ram which is fine to do multitasking.... I hope u understand....

  • where is the RAM? plz post complete review and dont post incomplete details. what about multitasking? internal memory is just 140mb. tell about ROM also and how does ROM affects the memory as som phones hav ROM also. ( i know RAM & ROM r diffrnt things)

  • ics update is available now

  • i think its better to go 4 mmx a100, bcoz abt the same price we can get 5'' screen n better software ICS out of box,better screen,though micromax a100 is still unavailable in market bt will b there after 25th sep with dual core

  • Yes

  • is the SMS view threaded?

  • plz remove screen gard on phone's sensor and you can see all option on a call.

  • I would request Spice/B.K.Modi do not waste your time on representing the steller series(Mi-355 n Mi 425)....as you know know Micromax & Karbonn are giving the tough competetion to your market...by introducing lot of android flavour devices in market...pls take care else your market also kick by customer lik MAXX, zen and other brand... I would suggest modi ji pls introduce the Viewsonic 4S/Alcatel 995 series....

  • ICS Update out You can go to service Center for update

  • Hi Guys I am planning to bye Spice MI500 Please let me know is worth going for Spice how is the build quality or how about Micromax A100, give me some suggestion please

  • No one is give good feedback for MI 425. the best people is ford car... example- 120000 car was failure , they ready to replace old car to brand new car. The final option is take back MI 425 and give us Mi 500. then only spice will keep their name in hold. By Ramesh from Bangalore.

  • not a very good mobile.i have brought this phone on june . used for only 2 months and getting problem in its sensor i.e during a call it's screen light off and no option for me to end that call.

  • Ahaha...its a scrap phone.i bought this scrap phone on 3rd august,til date its OS has been re-installed at service centre 4 times as there was a problem of going blank after ending call.but problem not solved.i did proximity sensor testing also.no use .im fedup of this scrap phone.today i went to sell this. They r offering mere Rs 3000 max though it is just one month old.NEVER EVER SUGGEST ANYBODY ON THIS EARTH TO BUY THIS IDIOT PHONE

  • Aha ha..good joke! I bought this scrap on 3rd august , til now d OS has been re-installed fr 4 times but today also d problem of going blank after d call repeated. Now im on d way to sell this scrap .its resale value they r offering is Rs 3000 since it is one month old.if it is morethan this they r not ready to buy.better throw this in dust bin.

  • micromax A100 n karbonn A18 r better than this mi 425.....im going to buy mmx a100 nw

  • I have this phone, and its not GSM+CDMA. It is GSM+GSM. But you can get 3G only in SIM1. in SIM2, only 2G is possible. If you need 3G , then you have to use the SIM1 for browsing. This is a very good phone, and perofrmance is very good. No problems at all. For Launcher, download Launcher pro from playstore, and it works fantastic. This is much better than the default launcher.

FullHD.....n most of the video songs n movies i hv in my 16gb card r HD, so plz guys give ur valuable opinion ASAP....thanx in advance

  • if I am not wrong, this is a GSM+CDMA device, you will not get 3G on this, you will get EVDO on the CDMA connection, you will get 2g speeds on gsm and EVDO (~3G for CDMA) on CDMA... if you're on reliance/tata, you will be sharing the speeds with Netconnect/photon+ speeds (~upto 3.1 mbps) Hope this helps!

  • I purchased this phone 4 days back, after reading reviews and getting satisfied about the specs. The phone looked great, just the way I expected. Some pieces may experience problem of screen turning off to incoming calls and not responding thereafter for some time. It is only a operating system corruption and will be 100% rectified once the OS is updated through any authorised service centre. There are no other issues other than this which semetimes can happen even with LG kind of mobiles. Dont misjudge this great phone for a great price. I loved it.

  • Great phone with great features.

  • Hey frd just take screen guard, it works fine, because default screen guard is thicker and proximity sensor doesnt work. or just scissor screen guard on top right near camera. works fine.;-)

  • Not a GOOD option to buy.Bcoz in a span of 15 days its software was re-installed as the phone gets switch-off after ending the incoming call.The phone will switch-on only when you connect to the charger or you get incoming call. Service is absolutely POOR.

  • Not a GOOD phone to buy b'coz,in a span of 15 days the phone was bought,TWICE the software was re-installed as it was switching off after ending the incoming call.It will switch-on untill and unless you connect to the charger or you get any incoming call.

  • Is it chinese rebranded phone?

  • can someone tell the cheapest price for it ? n is this good one?

  • I have been using it since a month now. Excellent display and pretty smooth to handle. Looks like a pretty expensive phone, but actually is pretty cheap. Most games work without hassles or heating up.. thanks to the GPU. Camera works fine in daylight, but suffers in low light. Only drawback i found is the internal memory could have been more.

  • I think the audio is little low but not very low as you said. When you say audio, are you referring to mp3/video songs or ring tone? I certainly dont feel any of them is too low as you said.

  • does gprs work well on stellar?

  • is this a dual sim phone??

  • I have purchased spice MI 425 3 days back. The phone has impressive display resolution and touch screen. But has very low audio volume. If you keep on table you will not hear the phone ring. Also It heats up so heavily after playing 4-5 mins of video. I have returned the phone to the shopkeeper. Is it the problem with the single piece. Or it has problem across all the pieces. I really liked the specs, If I get the phone without above problems , I will re purchase it.

  • dont go for this phone...... it hangs a lot...... fucking phone.....

  • Renjith... Thanx a ton man... I've solved that prob in ur way... Now it's proved to be the best under 10K Smart phone... absolutely happy with it... :)

  • The BEST phone in this price....I think we cant get better mobile in this price range. Good battery, Gud cam, also have front cam, And ofcourse less price....So users please go for it....dont see brand name...see functionality and price....Thn u wll realize tht companies like Samsung/Htc are taking much more money for ther brand name which is not good. So spice Mi425 is the right choice. Go for it.....

  • this phone is very good

  • this phone is ultimate . it is a open challeng no other android phone will give this much battier back up... it is worth what you pay... but i am little dissatisfied with its less internal memory...

  • yes it is.. go for it.

  • nice phone indian made for very minimual cost below ten k i would definetly suggest to use it

  • this phone is nice in this budget at 10,000 you are getting 4 inch screen 2000 mAh battery and all nice features

  • its intense cut throat competition in india when it comes to smart phones and tablets ...we consumer win...

  • If u r a user of brands like spice/micromax/karbonn, then its the best of all if u r moto/htc/sammmy user, better dont buy... go for moto fire/defy series for 0-4k extra

  • is this spice stellar mi-425 is good or not?

  • How can you expect such features in an under 10k mobile. All these features are not even in many 20k+ mobiles!!!

  • yes it is dual sim based andoroid phone.

  • I change my phone every 6-8 months, best (budget) phone I have ever used. i have it and at least 2 years ill be using it.

  • hey friends dont go for cheap price as i recently purchase few days ago started showing 3 to 4 black hair line down part of screen.which is a hardware defect.instead buy something some good company phone dont think u are saving money in other sense u r wasting full money.

  • -disgusting FM reception -must confess, i am pretty dissapointed with the display -everything else fine as long as the ICS update comes out. else it'll b a 10k worth of BIG mistake -& i just hope the hardware runs 2yrs... the way it heats up & the sad display aint giving me a good vibe & never buy from spice store @ VASHI, Mumbai ************ those complaining about low internal memory, do a search for UNLIMITED INTERNAL MEMORY SPICE at xda developers... read the GUIDE

  • is this dual sim ???? and also spice Mi 425 is dual sim ??

  • hey dude i'm using spice mi 425. owsome cell .....go 4 it

  • hi please read my post and provide solutions if you have...and tell me how to rool the set and install the mentioned app.

  • its really a wastage of your money. its internal memory is too low to install apps and enjoy android services, also it has so many cons:- 1. low internal memory. 2. during download secondary sim gets disabled, 3. while using data services the voice call not received on both sim cards. so it is totally a wastage of your money..... plz don't buy.... i am suffering....

  • dont buy the crap spice brand after few days it is showing black fine in the lower part of the screen.god knows why the phone with no quality check.

  • Root the phone, install cynogen mod, you can move all your apps to SD card

  • Plz don't ever purchase a phone internal memory less than 1 gb otherwise u will have to uninstall previous app before installing new one due to low memory issue. I had bought htc explorer and now I am regretting

  • this phone is jst superb in its price range.. i hv already used sansung galaxy-3, galaxy s n also galaxy note n motorola defy.. obviously this is nt of their quality but still too good in this price range.. i was too hesitative to buy this as my earlier experience was nt gud with spice android phone.. but nwi m happy.. looks r too gud.. white back panel luks very gud.. screen colors r d best in this range.. even samsung galaxy y duos colors dissappointed me.. cameta quality is very good too.. its much bettet than its earlier phones.. realy luks 5mp camera.. evn d front camera gives decent images.. battery back is very ok.. n better then many android devices.. only thing i missed is notification light which is nt in this phone.. if u cant spent more than 15000 then go for this phone.. its only for rs 9500.. dual sim android r nt gud like this one..

  • i bought this phone on july 1st and i was impressed by it a lot. after one week i dont know what happened to my cell its touch screen didnt respond.so i gave the cell to spice service center and they said that its software error,we cant do anything.so i visited the spice hotspot again for replacement and luckily i got one.now this phone is working very well,fast download,quick response,superb touch and even the volume is more than first one.i think the first one is defective.so please ask whether replacement was available or not before buying.

  • USP of this phone is battery life with 2000mAh battery and decent look. It is best seller among Indian Brands. Put your money on safe bet.

  • Same here

  • Chacha is brand HTC's quietly brilliant, Spice is desi crap. I use htc explorer u can try htc desire c if u want ics and beats audio

  • Hey guys, want to root your newly bought spice mi 425 to unleash its true powers, increase the RAM, extend the battery life nad lots more??? the easiest rooting tutorial tailor made for your very own Spice MI 425

Does it look like a china phone in your hand or it looks nice? Is the 1ghz processer fast enought for playing HD games and is the ui smooth? i am looking forward in buying this phone! My basic concerns are the camera battery and the looks! Do reply :) Thanks.

  • heyyyy any body tell me --which is best spice m425 or htc chacha

  • I hv purchsed this 3 weeks ago for 9400 on NQ Mobiles, It has some cons & pros, but underline is definately GO phone, awesome for price range. Cons first: 1) 149 Internal memory (Though you can transfer downloaded files from IM to EM, it automatically keep 20% backup in IM and thus utilised space, which you cant utilised further (then you have to delete some files) 2) I hvnt found any Compass & Accelometer sensors in this. 3) 2.56 L Colors reduces picture sharpness compare to 160 L Colors (16M) 4) No document editor, you have to download it, but say OK (android having lots of free versions) 5) You cant do video calling unless you not download skype (not a free version) 6) Speaker Quality is not good but with headset it gives same sense like beat on HTC 7) Cover & scratch guard is not available yet. Pros: 1) 4" big screen 2) Good build quality 3) Front & Rear camera 4) 1 GHz single core processor 5) Adreno 200 graphics 6) All other sensors (Compass & Accelomter excluded) 7) Feather touch 8) Sensible capacitive buttons 9) Superb fast 10) Android upgradable to 4.0 (4.0.1?)

  • Thanks All, Actually I was going to buy it, but looking at your reviews I have changed my mind and will find the another phone...

  • m using spice mi425 n its great phone in this price.

  • Can you please tell me how to use this phone as modem .How can I increase sound of this phone Thanks

  • i also face same thing can you please explain more clearly Thanks

  • already see that this is a chinese phone k-touch w688 and also see that no company overclock this processor to 1ghz only k-touch can do.this is same processor in the htc explorer and xperia tipo but no one over clock to 1ghz. my friend have this phone but its built qualty is very useless and waste just open the cover you see that bottom are attach to the backcover not to the phone.so much chance get spoil of phone with water. in my opinion its very much risky phone how much days its work only god knows.

  • hi vikas use volume + it will increase sound output effectively and make your phone complete try full version if needed ask me i will provide if you already using that's fine

  • how about cam clarity

  • its gud phone because touch respose is very gud

  • Qualcomm msm 7627A cortex a5, 1ghz processor, adreno 200 enhanced Gpu, 512 mb Ram, a 4 inch screen having decent resolution, it support arm v7 instruction set so Flash player is supported, 2000 mah battery ,front cam vga ,back camera is auto focus 5mp with led flash and planned to upgrade to ics

  • Dear plz tell me has it louder music volume via inbuilt loudspeaker than htc explorer?

  • I beg to u plz tell if its touch will be impaired after 7-8 months of usage?

  • it is by pressing menu button not by pinnching so any custom launcher will help you to do that

  • is this a good phone

  • no need of custom launcher ....u can overview homescreens by long pressing the menu key...!!!!!

  • what is the use of the phone when its internal memory is only 149 mb,i'm sure if they add another 500 or 1ooo rupees they can give 1gb internal memory. 1ghz processor is nothing when its internal memory is very less.....

  • For detailed issues/solutions and to overcome problems and upgrades visit my link:

  • Hangs regularly. You have to boot it again & again. Phone also heats up during long call or while downloading or playing games. very annoying.

  • another option is karbonn a9,only ifference is display is 3.8' but it has 600mb internal memory

  • u can solve thatt problem dial *#36# inside that there is proximity sensor test get inside and press the button just down to that pic

  • well guys, in my opinion every be it a grade or b grade, every phone is made in chine,no doubt, These B grade, originally made for China and renamed in country like ours ,sold here by B grade brands, Now adays same goes with big players like motorola and others... let me give a example 8 months back my frnd bought sony high end phone, it was superb ,awesome ..now touch screen of it is laggy,not responding well, the same got Accolades by tech gurus around the world. Nothing to worry low price for b grade brands is worth buying.

  • Yes it does have dedicated GPU

  • It cud be the best under 10K smart phone but a serious fault has spoilt Spice's fortune... Whenever i'm trying to make a call, the display is going out & it's not coming back until i miss the next call ... Strange indeed as the phone is not gonna switch off. Otherwise there is no issues with it... Good display n works really fast, battery back up is awesome, rather unbeatable in whole android family... Wait for the next lot as i hope those handsets won't have this black out problem.

  • at least at this price point we are getting ics updateble phone, way better than galaxy Y dual, galaxy ace, ace duos

  • the first point to remember is that all phones these days use the same hardware and are all made in CHINA, no matter what anyone may tell you. the second point is that you may have paid more money for a CHINESE phone. You should not be proud of having made a fool of yourself by purchasing a CHINESE phone. Spice is still better. And even if it breaks in 8-10 months, there is a saying in india "paisa vasool"

  • you have much proud on your spice than just think first how much days its work.just 8-10 month than it got some problem then when you go to service center they tell you that its a hardware fault.so we does not responsible for that. already done with me. try to buy branded phone like motorola

  • do not think that this phone is manufacture by the spice they buy the phone from china and change its name and selling in India actual china phone is k-touch w688 search on Google you can find that . so your are using an Chinese phone like karbonn a9.not manufacture by its own like Motorola , Samsung,apple.

  • did u know what you are talking ?which other mobile having same price capable of 720 p video recording,

  • i bought this phone nice phone rs.10000/- in gujarat india

  • yes fully agreed.The battery,processor,camera (with steady hand),sound player,good display,stable OS soon can be upped with ICS every thing is fine with SPICE MI 425.You wont be disappointed for value for money,in below 10k range.bother about screen,applu scratch guard & feel free.

  • Do you have a dedicated GPU or it utilises the same 1ghz processor

  • There Are Only MP4 & 3GP Upto 480P Is Supported In Stellar Not 720P(While Other Mobiles With Same Specs Supports 720P With 1GHZ),Also Some Important Missing Codecs!!! Please Include Following Codecs In Next ICS Release - MP4/H.263/H.264/WMV player - MP3/eAAC+/WMA/WAV player Also The Camera Is Not Able To Capture Videos In 720P,But Other Mobiles WITH Same 5MP Camera And 1GHZ Are Able To Capture Videos At 720P,And The Videos Captured By Stellar Is In 3GP Not MP4(Which Is The Worst Thing About Stellar) Wifi Connectivity In Stellar Is Compare With My Xtab A10 In The SAME Distant Both Stellar Recieves Only 2 To 3 (From 4) Signals Bars Of Wifi But At The Same Time Xtab A10 Receives Full Signal Strength Means All 4 Bars Signal,So Please Improve This Also In ICS Release!!!

  • Can we get incoming calls on Sim2 when we are calling or using data (Internet) in sim one. And vice versa..

  • Cant we Play HD Games Like Gangstar,FEAR etc

  • If thats the case then use link2sd, after rooting the phone with z4root. it will allow you to move almost all the apps to SD card, also this phone as per Spice website has more than the mentioned space to save apps i guess, i am not sure......

  • Forget extra features. For the same set of features Samsug/HTC would charge us around 20K and not less than that.

  • You are right. You can install app2sd from android market and then use it to move apps from phone to micro sd. Only issue is, some of the apps dont allow you to be moved to micro sd card. So once you have 10-15 such apps, then you have to be picky about the new applications you install. But most of the games allow you to be installed on micro sd. So if your apps are primarily games, then no issue I feel.

  • those crying about low internal memory, look for link2sd in play store. also search xda for step by step instruction for unlimited internal memory

  • this is nice phone

  • what else you need for under 10000 rs priced smartphone:)

  • You are wrong dude its not htc sensation, one v, lg nitro hd, xperia neo, nokia n8, its am mid segment mobile in that price range. Thanks for your opinion.

  • i think you doesnt know the diffrence in high end and sub 10000 categ. phones if you want gorilla glass disply go for samsung galaxy s ,sl etc..... u have to pay more to get gorilla glass, hd recording , and bettar displays in spice you are paying about 9700 rs,you are getting adobe flash support, good resoulation 480*800 4.1 inch display, ics update , front camera, back camera autofocus with led flash,2000 mah battery this phone is much better than pathetic samsung galaxy y ,galaxy y duos, galaxy ace, galaxy ace duos

  • Hello Guys I have heard that the applications can be moved to the memory card so why bother about internal memory? clarify me if i am wrong

  • Thanks All, Actually I was going to buy it, but looking at your reviews I have changed my mind and will find the another phone...

  • This is challenge for spice to reach upto the customer in this compatative market.And spice had forward one step ahead.But this phone lacks some important features like gorilla glass display,more than 256k colour,better viewing angles,512mb ram,adobe flash support,divx video support,full hd video recording,better camera performance,image and video editor,documents editor.

  • when launch spice mi-355 in india and other city of india?

  • Good dual sim android phone for 9.4k. Pros:- Excellent looks. Good screen size. Good camera clarity. 1 Ghz Processor. Cons:- very less internal memory.(149mb) Video gets recorded only in .3gp. If upgraded to 4.0 it makes this phone best. Never compare this big brands(HTC,Samsung,Nokia) as you cant get all specs of this phone in them for 9.4k atleast as on jun-2012

  • use any custom launcher to get overview of home screens by pinching

  • I own this phone and have posted the review...check for user review by bbsrailfan on XDA-Developers.

  • 20 June 12 Good for the price asked After skipping waiting for the mi-500, went for this one. Had purchased it last week. For the eight grand I paid, it is a decent phone. Camera is ok. The large 4.1" display could have been better (only 256k) though it is not bad by any means. Build quality and feel is great and the UI is snappy though feels a little half-baked at times. If only manufacturers would give stock GB/ICS with their phones. Should have been shipped with a screen guard. The supplied screen guard has specs printed on it so you have to take it off. Also, I'm in the market for a cover/case, so looking at other 4.1" phones whose accessories I can use with this one. Bottom line: Great for your first android phone. Especially for people not wanting to go for puny 2.8, 3, 3.2 inch entry level phones with pathetic resolutions (Yes I'm talking about you, Samsung), this Spice is a very good buy. Waiting for ICS update (as promised)

  • This phone is awesome. This phone is so packed with features that it gives its competition a run for their money. The pricing is just right under Rs. 10,000. Apps work really well and games like angry birds work just fine. The only problem is that the home screens cannot be viewed using pinch to zoom. But pinch to zoom works really well on web pages. The screen is fine but not brilliant. Youtube videos look nice and clear. Pros: Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) OS 5 MP Primary Camera 0.3 MP Secondary Camera Dual SIM (GSM + GSM) 4.1-inch Capacitive Touchscreen 1GHz Scorpion Processor 32 GB Expandable. Good battery Life Cons: Screen is not sharp and colours lack depth. Homescreens cannot be viewed at a single glance. Only 140mb of internal storage. Al in all the phone is really nice to use. This is my first Android phone and i'm loving it. If you want this phone, Just go for it. You cant go wrong.

  • you can increase the internal storage by patitioning your sd card......

  • 1. while downloading files from internet using master sim, the slave sim goes down, no connectivity and you get no calls to slave sim.... may be vice versa..haven't tried it yet... this is very inconvenient as i miss many important calls coming to my slave sim while browsing internet using master sim. 2. also opening photo gallaries is very slow and annoying though haven't captured many photos. 3. BSE/NSE app is always active which i dont use, kills my RAM.

  • i bought this phone around a month ago and have been using it without any issues since then, it may be called the poor man's iPhone. It has got a good size screen and the best part is the battery, 2000 mAh. Lasts you atleast 2 days no matter what you use the phone for, well almost. for all practical purposes, whats the point of having a mobile device with all the bite if you have to charge it everyday or sometimes may be twice a day. The spec sheet says 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon, while it may be good on paper, in real life you wont feel too much of a difference having said that it isnt slow either but nothing spectacular either and I am not complaining. All I am saying is that processor is good but nothing out of the world. I have been using around 25-33% of the RAM under normal circumstances and even while I am multitasking, RAM usage stays below 50%, which is a good thing. The display is acceptable, it is not super clear like that of an iPhone or so but it is good, you wont be complaining about it. The only thing which i feel Spice could have done a better job with is the sound output of the phone. The ringer and the speakerphone are a little short of what you would expect from a phone which boasts of many other specifications. The saving grace is that since this is an Android, I was able to download and install a sound booster application which has improved the ringer volume a bit. It is still a wee bit short of what I would have preferred it to be. To sum it all up, it is a good value for money phone much better than the Samsungs and the HTCs infact I am pleasently surprised by the build quality and the fit and finish of Spice products. Overall, a much recommended buy :)

  • gsmarena plz ad the specs of spice Mi 355

  • I bought it...It has 384MB RAM

  • hey its a very impressive phone ........just bought it

  • Here is the video review:"

  • The wifi is not smooth. Youtube which otherwise runs smoothly in samsung mobiles is not in Spice 425.There is lot of discontinuity. Sometimes the songs stored in the card is also audible alongwith youtube. This is peculiar.

  • only 149 mb internal memory...sucks it slow down the speed after downloading heavy apps...

  • Hey gsmarena plz ad the specs of spice Mi 355

  • Any one having the handset, Please post a brief review. AsGSM Guys would not.

  • does anybody has information about Mi 355(Stellar craze),Please post it.

  • Guys this is a dual sim gsm gsm phone and it is awesome in this range- it costs around 9k in India.. Cheap as compared to other phones with 4.0 inch screen and 5mp and 1ghz processor

  • does it not support H.264?

  • Better choice karbonn a9... Coz,,, *1gb intrnl memry over 140mb. *3.8 inch(mi425 has 4 inch) screen b8 high resolution.(252 ppi over 233 ppi) *1600 mah(mi425 has 2000 mah) battery b8 9hrs talk time and 504 hrs standby time over 7hrs talktime and 120 hrs standby time. *Price 9k(9,099/-) over 10k(9,999/-) So, go with karbonn a9...

  • htc desire c is gud but processor is too slow that is 600 mhz dats too slow at this price

  • I bought for my girl friend and I used for one day and return it to dealer and replace with HTC desire c ......... the problem is ..when I called and try to disconnect the call .... it was not responding for 2 to 3 minutes.......and calls were not disconnected.....about 5 or 6 time happend...... specification is ok ok in 10 thousand but it has to improve quickness....... very bad experience.....will not go for out side product like spice, carbonn, etc.......

  • It has Qualcomm msm 7627A cortex a5, 1ghz processor, adreno 200 Gpu, 512 mb Ram, a 4 inch screen having decent resolution, it support arm v7 instruction set so Flash player is supported, Its a dual sim , 2000 mah battery , having front cam ,back camera is auto focus 5mp with led flash and planned to upgrade to ics only concern is 140 mb internal memory, but at the price tag it offer its great buy at least a better choice than the Samsung Galaxy Y duos.

  • Bought this last week from flipcart for Rs.9700 I can say it is an Excellent mobile @ this price... Only this i disliked is the internal memory... But rather then that, battery backup, surfing through internet, to hold in hand & look is extrodinay & stunning , Good job from spice...

  • Spice Stellar is very good phone comes in 10K with all features and a ICS upgrade fixed!!! I Love The Phone.The only thing i dont like is its phonememory it should be atlease 300mb to 512 mb!!! Ram is 512MB!!!

  • bought it few days back.it is headache to install application on this mobile.as got on only 140 mb which is very less.so it is impossible to install more than 4 to 5 apps and even to run email and basic application.despite having a 16gb memory card doesn't make problem solve as it doesn't allow to transfer apps to memory card.it is just a waste of money. There are some apps which cant be transfer to memory card.so before buying think twice.

  • 256k colors (a big phone with 256k looks awkward) 149 MB internal memory...(too low) This makes the phone to be rejected..!! P.S : RAM not mentioned...
