  • it is a gud phone for wlan best screen n 245ppi is quite good. but not the best phone in this range of smart phones I suggest not to buy.

  • Good phone but accessories are not available in the market.

  • yes,its an 3G phone

  • . Spice has buid one of the Worst phones in terms of Build quality. Heating issues from day one. Very very very poor battery life is a understatement and the worst is the Service centers are so useless and Cheats. Tried to buy a extra battery from spice service center and they charged me Rs 350 for the battery told me to pay first and the battery would come. 15 days later still no battery. Asked for a refund as i was shifting to Chennai. Once in chennai I contacted spice Service Center Deprosys Technologies Chennai. . When I tried to ask for the battery they said same battery costs Rs 650. When I called Spice HO they said the cost is Rs 350. If service centers are asking for 100% margins what or how can you trust this company. The service centers are Brand ambassadors of the company and if they are cheats then company should take action . If we follow The be Indian Buy indian slogan we always end up as losers.

  • this is d worse phone..lots of heating, no camera qualily,facing prblm with 2 mnth send to service center they r nt returning phone..quality of service center is even worse..say we dont hav d parts..made lots of cmplain ..but nthing goes right

  • boss! I'm using ths phone till january and I cn't face any prob. So as per my opinion ths is the best phone. no hngng prob.,no heatng,prob. best .......best........best in ths range,no can beat

  • Sir i use phone jan.13 i take problem this phone heating just to just . if we play video file 15 minute than also minimum time heating this phone and talking than also 25-30 minute.

  • I have been using this phone since some month before. It has got some problem such as heating at upper part and low battery back up as per the specification. According to specification it should have 200 hrs stand by and 6 hrs continuous talk but it is not the same. Next think is that camera is not 8 megapixel its lower than 3megapixel.

  • Sir my phones upper part also heated....I cntct service center they saying its normallllll

  • This phone is good but camera is not actually 8 mp. i think it is only 1.3 mp.. plzz guyzz dont buy this phone..

  • Im using dis device since 1month, its pretty good actually except battery backup. i think 1700mah is not sufficient for any android phone. but it z better than samsung galaxy s2(1650mah). camera is awesome, great capture and sound sensor also mind blowing. screen resolution, touch sensitivity totally good. totally dis is a slim and sexy mobile with a costly look.

  • it is not normal it is the problem in all mi-495 and lower handsets. you have got a wrong deal.

  • hi i m usng this spice mi495 in dubai and i can not access internet on it.whats the problem in this i just dont understand.i have internet connection as well of dubai.whats wrong with this now.can anybody help me how to correct the settings.Please.......

  • Yas frnd same situation r also done in my phone..

  • I hve some querries about this phone y its upper pprtion gttng heated plzz suggst me it is nrml or nt

  • I am using this phone from a week and i like it more than micromax canvas...

  • They are different

  • Find same chinese phone here - chinahosin.com Europe's U9 No word about Jellybean here too...

  • i have purchased spice mi-495 around 10days back. This mobile look like iphone. very good mobile. no heating issues if i use it long time, sound quality is good. camera is 8mp, but calirty i guess 5 mp. audio and video quality is superb. internet speed is good. overall 5 out of 5 stars... I think they have improved alot this set..

  • i want to by it is it good then micromax a90s or other in camera ,display qulity or other feature

  • sometimes panaroma function not works...when i see the photo it says thums not available...but processor has very good.

  • You are responsible for one fone loss toSPICE as i am not going to buy this one now :(

  • good luking nd nice phone

  • Hi I have been using this set for about 1 month. There are some problems on heating and hanging at times especially when I play 3d games and quality of pouch provided with the mobile is poor. Some times visibility of camera is poor, but gets rectified immediately when go back and reopen the application. However, at the cost offered, it is one of the best phones in the market. With similar specifications, other brands are charging more than double price, which indicates there is huge premium people are paying on them. Overall, my rating is satisfactory.

  • overhiting problem and android is no best cemra cleirti is not best

  • Highly recomended smartphone.. to be fair yes it do heat up a litle but nothing goes wrong. its a perfect piece of cake. You will love it.

  • If this product has such a serious problem then don't go for it as this will be injurious to the health. Now it is well settled that Spice android devices are not up to the the mark.These device are cheaper than any other products but they don't give you satisfaction.General public expect that Company should give good specification at the prescribed price and should not face any problems in the offered features.Spice should charge more rupees but atleast satisfy the consumer with its given features.If Spice is not improved then it will be thrown out of the Smartphone Market very soon.I am Spice user and I am not at all satisfied with Spice.I had a problem with my Spice Handset then I went to the Service Centre at Solapur.The centre officials told me that that is a bad Handset and suggested me not to go with Spice anymore as Spice Products are inferior. So wake up Spice!!!

  • IN THE INTEREST OF GENERAL PUBLIC : CHEATING BY SPICE MOBILITY : OVER HEATING PROBLEM : SPICE VIRTUOSO - MI - 495 We have purchased the above handset from Spice Retail Shop - HOTSPOT on 24/02/2013 from Honey Park, Adajan, Surat. On using the Phone on 25/02/2013, we found the problem of camera clarity and overheating. As per the handset specification 8 MP camera with 3264 *2448 pixels is given. But when we took the Photograph and compared the same with their MI - 530 Mobile, photographs are very poor . We also compared the photograph with other mobile having 8 MP. The photographs are very poor. The major problem the Phone is having is overheating. Within 10 -15 minutes of usage of the handset, mobile is heated and sensation on the ears are so hot that person can not put the phone on ear and compulsorily have to use speaker or Bluetooth facility. We informed the retailer on 25/02/2013, they have shown their inability to help in this matter. And informed us to visit the service center in Surat. We visited the service center on 26/02/2013 and informed the above problems to Mr. Jitesh. He thoroughly checked the camera clarity and also overheating problem. He informed us that as this has been designed slimmest, main parts of the Mobile has been designed and built near the speaker and due to the above, upper parts of mobile will be hot. And that can't be reduced/improved. We argued that this is the mistake of the company,their research and design team. And complete failure of the company as before launching of the product, company must take trial and test the product. Mr. Jitesh informed the problem to Mr. Jayesh Soni (Designation not known) but he refused the claim. Mr. Jitesh informed that he will try to talk with higher authorities and look in to the matter. On 26/02/2013, Mr. Jitesh - Service center Executive informed that he has talked with the company personnel but they denied to accept that the phone is overheating but they have requested to submit the handset to make probe in to camera clarity. As confirmed with Mr. Jitesh, Mobile gets heated within 10 -15 minutes of usage and this is a manufacturing defect and concern for health also but the company is denying to accept the same. It is manufacturing defect but company is denying. We have asked them to issue D.O.A. as the same is not usable product but the company is denying. On 01/03/2013, Now the company refuses the both claims of over heating and camera clarity. Thus company is cheating to the general public by launching non tested, without taking trial ,sub-standard and poor quality product and company is causing serious damage to the health of Public. And this requires a thorough Investigation and Probe in to the matter. This is for the Interest of General Public so that do not get attracted to lucrative price Marketing and Slim Design of the product and purchase the handset. Regards, Viral P. Marfatia 88666 31000

  • Dear u can download double battery life application from its store.

  • The price is surely good for the specs. the phone surely looks good, however its too i-phone-ish, 1 gb RAM could have made it stands out of the crowd of 1ghz/512 mb RAM android phones.

  • I agree

  • Very heng mobile...

  • I would like to suggest SPICE, this is not not to foolish the people.. try to live and synchronise with market demand. Dont waste time and money in phone like MI 495... try to be competiter like MMX A110->SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 and MMX A116 with SAMSUNG GRAND Request you ppl pls try to introduce: Meizu MX2

  • i m planning to a buy a phone tell me which one is better between micromax A110 and spice stellat virtuoso... Plz sugesst me on which phone i invest my money.

  • nice...............

  • Hi, Everyone , i have purchase this mobile three days back , awsssmmmm performance....no doubt...from its 10 out of 10

  • good one compared with secondary brand

  • i m planing to buy this phone....soo plzz give some reviews about the performance by any owner....

  • Just bought this phone and out of the Box it is defective, Just using the phone for 10 minutes and the screen heats up. and battery drains too fast. did not expect such poor build quality from spice. Expected this from micromax , Other wise this is a very good looking phone and there is no performance lag what so ever . The phone looks very premium and performs very well. if not for the heating issue and battery drain this would have been a 5 out of 5. but out of the box defective item brings this to a 1 out of 5. Indian manufacturers should start concentrating on substance and not style. My opinion is dont buy till you read actual user reviews. Dont waste your money on looks alone . Will update once i get a replacement phone.

  • Camera performance and battery is very bad

  • wow i like this and ready to buy in few days
