Spice Mi-530 Stellar Pinnacle - User Reviews

  • spice phones is good but due to accessories problem its market is not up to the mark

  • spice phones is good but due to accessories problem and accessories price is very high thats why spice market is low

  • i want Spice Mi-530 touch and back cover

  • Hello ! Spice Stellar MI 530 Pinnacle a great phone. I am using this phone over two years, and found it to be a very good device. Initially was confused between Samsung Grand & Micromax Canvas HD. But after good research I went for this. And I am happy and fully satisfied with my decision. During this long ownership of two years it never failed, there is not even single incident of hang/freeze. Several times it was dropped but I am lucky to have absolutely no issues. I ma using 32 GB SD Card and several times it was almost full with DATA. But device never showed any signs of stress or lag. It still gives me service over a day on a single charge on moderate use and Wifi on. Only once it had a problem - software was corrupt due to some electrical problem in our area. MSEB supply had a problem Live and Earthing was crossed due to short. I turned off all electronic and other devices but forget to turned off charging to my device. Same day when MSEB guys arrived I switched on the flash and realized there is some problem. Next day handset was taken to the Spice ASC he tried to restore it and asked me to leave it for couple of days. As promised within two days handset was ready and ASC charged me just Rs. 150/- After that there is absolutely no issue. One of my friend has also purchased Spice MI 535 device one year back and he too is happy with it. I am fully satisfied with the Spice product and Service. Good Value for money.

  • there is no doubt that this phone very good at that time but two problem occur first it is very heavy weight and touch screen 99.99%crecked and broken that you can not change bcoz service centre demand more than Rs.6000/- that is worth less and if you changed with mi535 fake screen then it will no work and you may through out

  • I'll give 3.5 stars to this mobile. Coz dere's no accessories available in da market as well as parts and so on .. if u'll find luckily(parts) den itz costly as compared to others and dis is worst part . No doubt dis mobile has lot of features but dis problem ruined all good features .. otherwise i'll give 4 or 4.5 /5 ..

  • me too

  • u r ri8 bro

  • comming soon

  • Write off your money within warranty I recommend the user and buyer not to buy this brand at all. They sale features mobile at cheap rate. Hence you will start getting problems in most of the model within warranty period. Spice service centre will try to make money saying �not covered in warranty.� If you lodge complaints with customer care they have no answer when it will be resolved. After a long follow ups you will be tired and keep quite. If you post comments on FB � simply they will ask your details, will keep quite thereafter. You will not find required accessories in their showroom and even in open market. It�s like a Chinese mobile which provide no guarantee when leave showroom/vendor shop. They frequently launch new models which results no proper services for old models only within six months. You earn money with hard labour � why to spend with SPICE. They have also bloked me to write any comments on Facebook

  • @Kalpit : I have noticed this issue occurs more when there is a low Network Signal in the area. At present i am not facing this issue again. I have low Signal at my home hence the issue resurfaces when i reboot phone at home. I am contemplating to install a JB based Custom ROM . I have got one.. will do this in coming days ..

  • i am using spice mi-537..everything is very good.but phone sound i am talking about phone speaker main..ohh i cant hear anything. Even i i get a call from a female i can't even understand what she is talking..very tone voice and very low.i can't say..this makes me upsets .now i am talking with a hands free or a Bluetooth. no solution i am getting. and one thing more .no accessories available for this phone in the market.

  • After video recording when i hear the video, the sound is extremly low. Can someone help me to enhance the sound. Also can someone tell me whether this is the default sound for the phone or i am only facing this issue.

  • but that's not company's fault

  • Hi Friends, Sorry for posting this one...But b care full about purchasing of Spice Mobile.Last month i purchased Mi-525 through online (saholic),when i opened this pack there is damaged head set and adopter in side and the mobile is also not in good condition like sound jack in side. I called respective people every one escaping from that issue but it looks like second hand product. they replaced head set and adopter,they are not replacing mobile for that they are saying its physical damage it will not comes under warranty.its soooo stupid answer.. From 1st day on wards i am requesting them but no solution .... So i suggesting u people b care of purchasing any product..i lost my money foolishly.. Regards, Thirupathi Bogaraju, Chennai.

  • Hi Frnds, I am having this phone till the date it is released & there is no issue in this phone till now almost 9 months gone. I have around 20-25 games including games like FIFA 14 , Need for speed, Temple run , Temple run OZ, subway surfer & Many others. No lagging in any game with all of them installed at one time. & all messengers, fb everything working withour any lag. I m not here to just give good comment one issue is there that signal in 2nd sim get disturbed if both the sims are working because I have 2 phones so i use this phone as a singal sim phone only. Guys I dont know why people spend there hard earned money in samsung or Iphone. People say they use there samsung or iphone for 3-4 years after spending 40k into that guys try to understand the concept if you buy this phone for 13k & change the phone year after year in that case also you save Rs1000 & at the end of 3 years you have 3 dual sim phone. But if you want to just show off that you have note - 2 or Note - 3 then go & waste your money into that.

  • @Kalpit : I have noticed this issue occurs more when there is a low Network Signal in the area. At present i am not facing this issue again.

  • On the scale on 1 to 10 I would give it a 11 ...5 stars!! love the phone but lil problem wt using the camera pictures come really clear sometimes and not clear some times why??

  • Very low pixel density. Just 205 ppi !!

  • On paper auxus is obviously better, but in the real practical world, its bullshit, hangs every time, lag in every task..so better choose phone in practical experience....

  • Auxus nuclea n1....seriouslyy....yes it has features but those wont work at all....the full hd screen takes out all the ram n processes...so there is nothing left in ram to get used in hd games! Forget buying that phone if u dont want to regret later....!

  • Needs improvement on following part. *Music Quality. *Radio reception is not powerful. *Sometimes if it remains out of range for long time, we need to register the Server provider manually.

  • Auxus Nuclea N1 has better features than this phone.

  • thanx for u r suggastion

  • Factory reset code = 1122 Or that code in its manual book....u can check.

Its negative point is that company is not caring of customer there is no new updates for this mobile. But its a relly good handset in market.

  • i need a spare batterry bro can u help...

  • Hi friend, I'm facing some issue with the update.. Have you installed it?? please drop me a mail on [email protected]

  • Hi guys, It's been 3 months since I bought this phone for 13250.. All n all, I'm happy with the phone given the price.. Pros :- 1)Value for money.. 2)Big screen, good resolution.. 3)1GB RAM and 1.2GHz dual core processor give fair performance.. Played NFS and worked well.. Didn't installed other heavy games yet.. 4)3G, 2G works very well.. I used vodafone 3G for 2 months in Delhi.. Now using vodafone 2G in Bangalore (since vodafone is not offering 3G to new subscribers in Bangalore due to HC stay) 5)Back camera works good if the light is proper.. 6)16GB internal memory (12GB avail to the user).. Must read the last section which explains abouth internal memory.. 7)Didn't faced heating issue.. Battery is good enough.. 8)Did 3 things simultaneously.. Playing NFS, talking over a call and charging.. Worked well for around 15-20 mins before it started getting heated, which, I guess is fine.. Cons:- 1) In dim light, dual leds doesn't works that good.. picture quality sucks in dim light.. Front camera doesn't justify 5mp tag.. In good light, it's alright though. 2)The volume of the speaker is pathetic.. If you like to play songs loud, this phone is definately not for you.. A big disappointment.. Although, sound quality on headphones is superb... 3)Sometimes, this phone behavies strangely... For example, (a) since today morning, WIFI is getting turned on automatically.. I turned it off several times, but get turned on automatically.. (b)When I connect it to a PC with the USB cable, somtimes, it appears that a ghost has got into the phone.. phone starts behaving as if somone is randomly touching the screen.. apps starts getting opened n closed.. wiered things I can't explain.. untill I unplug it from the system.. I guess this issue should be solved with the upgrade which I haven't done yet.. The Internal Memory Catch.. Although internal memory available to user is over 12GB, there is a catch. There are two memory spaces in this phone.. a)760MB (name :- internal storage) and b)12GB(name :- INTERNAL STORAGE).. yes, that's the difference in the name.. one in caps and one in small letters.. When I install any app, it gets installed in "internal storage" by default.. Then, I've to move it to "INTERNAL STORAGE".. Although, 760MB sounds small for installing apps.. but it works fairly well when combined with the feature of moving apps from one type of storage to another.. for ex:- the game "Vector" requires 50mb space to get installed.. When I moved it after installation, it consumed ~2.5mb in "internal storage" and around 50mb in "INTERNAL STORAGE".. All and All, as I'm satisfied with the phone.. The best feature for me is it doesn't hangs in day to day applications.. and with a price tag of 13k, I'm happy with it... (need more help, please mail me at [email protected])

  • I have used this phone from last 4 months, initially it was good but gradually many problems arises like... not charging, always battery shows down, and now the ring tone is gone . altough camera is 8MP but picture clarity is not good atall, en evening you cant shoot . Its a very bad experience i have ever had with this phone. My 14000 rupees is gone and felt very bad. Can any one help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

  • There is no such problem with this phone .. I m in telecom sector itself and often I travel to different geographical location in india.. I have never faced any issue in using 3G.

  • Upgrade from ICS from Jelly Bean via your Computer: Check this link and download the ROM and install it following instructions.

  • guyz deres a big problm in dis smartphone... it provides 3g netwrk on 2100 mhz only.... so users like me who are living far from township area cant enjoy 3g... except bsnl 3g or sometimes airtel 3g...i m facing dis problm from the very first day when i purchased dis fone...it sucks man !!! when i m investing around 14k on spice so why shouldnt i add some more money n go for samsung galaxy s2 or grand or simply s advance... thats why its always said that samsung is samsung...n spice will always be spice..its cheepo yaar !!

  • Dear, I think it will be updated to 4.2 in near future. Go for mi535 model if you want a phone with 4.2 as the price difference is not much and it is quad core.

  • Will it b available in the future!? Am thinking of buying this ph!

  • hello friends, There is no jelly bean 4.2 update available. Do not be fooled by people who misguide. I received an email from spice people saying that presently it is not available. Thanks

  • I bought this phone on 10-03-2013, im quit satisfied! I liked- display, front and rear cam, storage capacity, touch, OTG connevtivity I didnt liked- battery, heating up, heavy, i hav accidently dropped this phone 3-4 times from height of 5-6 feets, thank God its working fine.

  • hello please send the link or web address where u got the link for jelly bean 4.2 . regards paal

  • it probably wont work, its a dual band. for a phone to work anywhere in the world it has to be quad band.

  • i did online.4.2 update i downlded files from spice web n den called spice care dey well guided me is done

  • The ph is good considering its price...but there r issues with it too..cam on the ph z so so..it feels like frnt cam is way betr than rear cam! Its got less ppi(208),ph gets heats up(very much) when u play hdgams for quite some tym with out any intrval say for 30-40min..it is very heavy(196gm)...its got only 5 point multi touch...and main issue of concrn is how this ph is going to work aftr an year(generally phs with good specs n cheap price work abnormally aftr an year of usage)! Bt still I will say that this is a good ph considering the price range it is placed in! If u r looking for a big ph go for it...if u want a ph which should last for much tym with good specs in same price range go check samsung galaxy s advance i19070

  • Am going to south africa in the next week....I wanna no whether this ph works with the band there or I need to buy a new ph there!!??

  • When u take the price into consideration this is one of the best ph...bt its ppi is low....and no one knows how may years this phone can live coz phs with cheap price n much spec won't last longer! If u want some amazing specs with brand bt a 4in screen under same price catogry check samsung s advance i19070

  • Hello Vicky, I will certainly suggest you to go with Spice Stellar Pinnacle PRO MI 535 I too was confused between Canvas HD but still I chose MI530 and I am fully satisfied with the device, its a complete package. Quality, finish, and battery backup is big big plus. MI535 have got Quad Core processor so this should be even better than MI530. Someone has posted bench mark but I believe these values are of MI530 not sure. MI 535 will definitely have better benchmark figures. Thanks.

  • hi vicky, i have also ordered 2 sets, but nobody received this device yet, i think the company will dispatched from 1st May 2013.

  • Any1 received Spice Mi-535 Stellar Pinnacle pro......pls share ur review.....also suggest me the fones b/w canvas hd and pinnacle pro

  • Which type of changes u seen after jb

  • It will work slowly jst try again

  • I am shocked to encounter such a result from quad core version Spice Mi-535 as my dual core version Spice Mi-530 itself gaves 3249 and 7802 in quad and antutu respectively, nenamark2 score is unbelievably high, as even 56.3 was not expected with the device (expected a lower score). And if these are the scores, then quad core version is just waste, no need to spend extra 1000 rupees, there are better options available in the market. Can you please you snapshots if possible to my email. [email protected]

Then they confirm that HSDPA speed is 7.2 only. So 3g speed is low in this HS.. All other smart phones supports 21 mbps... This should be honestly update 3g speed, it is must.

  • My known is having this phablet from last 2 months are he is too happy to have it. Camera battery everything is perfectly working. You can watch video while doing other works yes it works with multiwindow too. Speed is awesome as it is having 1 GB of RAM. If you are going to purchase it than just wait for 15th of march there will be a upgrade of this. Which has the quad core processor and HD screen name is MI 535 you can check this article here

  • really good phone but major drawbacks are Battery, restart itself because of the software problem, no voice clarity (ears will get heat),no HD screen and finally spice service centers themselves cant understand the problems (poor service)

  • Hi I have been using this phone for almost 2 weeks now and it's a great set.. no complaints with screen, camera, voice quality (actually great)... battery would last for at least one day with fairly heavy usage. One question though... I haven't been able to figure out how to connected the phone with Bluetooth headset... has any one tried that?

  • Hey friends tell me how to use root access

  • hey guys those who got updated the phone pls share your experience... thanks a lot in advance.. great classic phone this is... only smart people can understand the difference between this n mmx a116,, good work by spice

  • Hi Can you kindly post a detailed video review of the device ? Share your prefrences for the following : * BSI Cmos Sensor vs Flip to Mute * 5.3" qhd display vs 4-4.5" hd display * Quad core with 4 gb ROM vs Dual Core with 16 gb ram

  • Hi dear friends the final question does it support TV OUT, either direct or via HDMI PORT. Please answer thanks in advance

  • Is it good to downgrade to get root access. Because I need root access.

  • Hi RK, Thank you for the answer, it is working. but a small ringtone received through bluetooth - i am not able to set it as ringtone. By pressing it longer it does not show the option to set as ringtone. it rather marks it for deletion in a checkbox. Hence i was wondering how to set files as ringtones received via bluetooth. Best Wishes,

  • Just adding to Galileo's reply, there are quite a few reviews available through google search. Here's one : This will offer another feedback, Sanjay.

  • Hi All, 1. Can anyone kindly post a detailed video review of the device ? 2. Share your prefrences for the following : * BSI Cmos Sensor vs Flip to Mute * 5.3" qhd display vs 4-4.5" hd display * Quad core with 4 gb ROM vs Dual Core with 16 gb ram

  • hello guys if you have rooted and installed cwm on this device then most probably u have an idea who i am... i just want to share my experience with this device.... hope it will help others too.... 1st of all this device is the most practically designed handset currently against any device yes a116 too.... best of the best things i liked about this device 1 build quality 2. battery life 3. right balance of everything procesor gpu ram battery capacity above things are the moat imp features which will keep u sailing in daily and practical use.... one more thing no. of cores doesnt solely determine the performance apps should also be designed to take advantage of all the cores.... cons- weight is slightly on heavy side.... resolution if u have really very sharp eyes that pixels distract ur concentration..... now if any1 has got jb please backup ur rom using sp flash tool and upload it......

  • I just got my Mi 530 upgraded to Jellybean, since then I am not able make call using Skype. During echo testing it says check your microphone settings. This was not happening with ics. Can anybody give a solution to this. Thanks in advance

  • Spice mobility don't waste money on marketing or tv advertisement or anything else.... even the selling rights are not given to other sites like flipkart etc... thats why popularity is less.... that money which they saved is invested in these types of devices.... if i ask sanjay.. what happened to NOKIA...??? the no. 1 brand in india..??

  • Hello ! It is really unfortunate that you are not getting an upgrade. Actually in Pune I got it immediately. Before visiting service ctr I confirmed that the same is available with them. Hope you too get one soon. Thanks.

  • Hello Sachin, No settings required for USB Mouse, just connect it via OTG you will have a mouse pointer on your device screen. Thanks !

  • Hello Sanjay, Ok, lets consider you are searching for a good Android device and that's the reason you visited this page. Your one statement is a complaint about not having reviews on this device, and your second statement is another complaint about people wasting their time writing reviews for just 14K device ? Your two statements are contradictory. Either you should not expect any review or you should not complaint about people providing reviews. :) Well as you said I am responding to queries raised by others, and I am providing/sharing only facts. I have never shared only positive about this device, I have always shared proven and tested facts. Also I have already shared negative about this device, I think you have skipped that part. About not having good reviews / videos, there was one similar query raised by one member. In response to this I have shared few links, that reviews this device. Also if you refer my earlier comment you will find we have discussed this as well. For not having good Reviews/Coverage/Publicity, there could be several factors involved like other manufacturers are having aggressive marketing / commercial tie up / advertisement etc. over Spice. I don't know the exact reason. Well about pricing I personally prefer quality, and people visiting this page are very well aware about the pricing. HD Screen, No Of Cores, are not the only factor that decides its price worthiness. According to me several additional features and its quality is worth for the price. Few people may think it is expensive and they are free to take their decision. There are several cheap products available in the market. Well, GSM Arena Popularity rating is calculated by no of visits/comments posted on the page. Go to Micromax Canvas HD A116 page, you will find almost 70% comments are about shipment delays, delivery issues, unavailability, different online shopping websites, etc. Are these comments related to the device function/usability etc. In remaining 30% you will have comparison between different devices, reviews from happy customers and reviews by unsatisfied/unhappy customers. This huge active posting makes this device popular, but is this popularity does have any direct effect on device performance/usability etc. ? Also overall rating of Canvas HD A116 is 7.30 and Spice MI530 is 7.13. Well I would like to mentioned that I was very much interested with Canvas HD A116 mainly because of popularity and marketing (reviews), but finally after detailed comparison bought Spice Stellar Pinnacle MI530, and very happy with the package, and my decision. :) If you wish to refer comparison between these two kindly refer my earlier post. Sure you can raise doubts in public, I have never said that you can't. :) OK, Then try to answer my earlier questions honestly. :) Well as of now I have never made any opinion about you, you have a total freedom to make opinion about others. :) I think I have clarified all your points, if any thing is left or if you would like to discuss anything else please let me know. I wish you all the very best in your new device search. Choose Wisely ! Thanks !

  • can I upgrade my mi 530 to jellybean in service centre at jalandhar Punjab.?I reply myself and anser is NO.For the last 10 Days I contacted on mobile as we'll as personnel going but one excuse or the other they returned me teling upgrade files r not complete.I emailed to customer care Spice but they did not send me the download link instead sent the mail to serv centre and tHEY were anoyed.Now I left the idea to upgrade.I STRONLY TEL MY FRIENDS NOT TO BUY THIS SPICE MI530 IF THEY PURCHASE THEY SHOULD FORGET ITS UPGRADE.ALL COS R GIVING UPGRADE IN THE AIR.BEING SENIOR CITIGEN I HAVE BECOME FADUP WITH THE AFTER PURCHASE SURVICES OF SPICE COY.

  • Just go to music player and choose to play ur favorite song and long press on song title and then set it as ur caller or contact ringtone

  • Does any one rooted this device, I m eager to root this mobile.. Mobile is updated to jelly bean.. Thanks

  • What settings to be done to use usb mouse on this device Thanks

  • where from i can get spice mi-530 in Delhi..........

  • Hi Galileo I'm interested to buy an android smart phone and I'm following this thread from last one week (as there is no other forum/ thread abt mi530). At first instance I too got impressed by ur reviews but after following this thread I've observed that you are the only person who is consistently admiring the device and answering every query with only positive comments abt the device. I have also been searching for YouTube videos abt the device review but there's only a single detailed review video and that too posted by the spice mobility itself (there are some 1/2 min videos which are of no use) . If the device is that much good why there r no new video reviews even after 2 months of the launch. As you hv said there are lots of people helping others by sharing their knowledge, then why they are silent over such an excellent phone. Everyday I search google for this device with filter of 24 hrs and no other review posts are found except you. All other reviews posted in past have clearly mentioned that device is costlier than others in this price range as it lacks hd resolution, its just a dual core while others have quad core, also no cmos bsi sensors on rear camera. Even the GSMArena popularity rating is just 1.1% and overall rating is 7/10. All these really raises doubts in my mind about which I shared here. And I don't think that I could not raise my doubts in public. You have advised me not to answer in public. Can you explain me why shouldn't I ? You also made an opinion yourself about me that I have nothing to do with the subject. If you can make an opinion about me then me too can make an opinion about you.

  • @Sanjay : Even I visit this page in every two days. We dont have any dedicated forum for this phone in any other site except a few pages in XDA. If Galileo is helping others within his capacity then how does that bother you? I am also a busy person but i make a point to go through this forum to find more info this phone which i recently bought.. why cant we appreciate if some one is doing something Noble @Galileo : Please ignore such comments completely. Lets not get demoralized by useless remarks. By the way did you manage to root the phone after upgrading to Jelly Bean?

  • Friends I am having Spice MI-350 ((Lenevo A60) for last 1.5 years. It is still working flawlessly though I have used a lot of Custom Roms of(Lenevo A60)by Russians/Chines/Philippines. I was tempted to buy ZOPO. But after seeing the review I think it is better for to go for this phone. My question to friends does it has the smart call forwarding option from one sim to the other like Samsung Grand? I mean can it be possible to receive calls from the Sim-2 which is not used staying active in SIM 1. Thanks

  • click on setting audio profiles general go sms pro as i installed than music now u r free to choose yours

  • Hi Galileo, You have been really helpful and guiding others on issues related to MI-530. I had a couple of questions, hope you would answer them: 1. How ti use voice memo 2. how to set customised ringtone(other than in-built)? Thank you in advance.

  • don't feel it dude u r a nice guy, liked ur sence of humour... thanks again wish u stay helpful... good day

  • Hello Vin, Well if you are not joking then I too was not joking. I am staying in Pune, it is such a polluted sky that it is difficult to take a good sky snaps with a professional camera. Heavy lights and pollution layer glows yellow and spoils good clear sky view. Also this is not a festive season hence fire crackers in the sky is real rare scene. Hope you will understand this. Camera is really good in day light and better than average in dark or with flash. Thanks.

  • LOL... ha ha ha Very nice u got it right , i was asking about reaserch in univese... how rediculous!!! :O i mean to estimate the density of pixels of camera as well as of screen that can display such minute and fast things.. that's it. cause nice cameras do. above all, what does it cost to try, you made a nice jokd, made me laugh too, but i was not joking

  • Hello, I am very much impressed with the reviews and specifications of MI 530. I am in Tamil Nadu. Can you suggest me the store where it is available. Thanks

  • Hello Vin, Yes we can shoot Fire Crackers, and Stars in the sky, its so beautiful. Camera zoom is so powerful that If you zoom you can actually see Planet Saturn Rings, I have even seen some bright shining spots on mars that proves there is ample water.I heard on a news channel Fake 24X7, that NASA is also using same device for their research. :) Hey I am just joking. What man ? you too started ? What is this Stars, Fire crackers ? :) I shall try my best to revert with some useful information but only to serious and reasonable queries. Thanks.

  • Hi Friends, Can any one help me on the process to set customized (apart from the handset one) ringtones for MI-530 ? Thankx in advance.

  • Hello Sanjay, Some time things are really difficult to understand, especially when someone is actually not concern with the subject. Confused ? Let me explain. I don't think you are interested in buying this device, otherwise you would have appreciated efforts taken by members who are sharing their knowledge. Most of the people should be very much busy in their work. In some spare time rather just to divert from a busy schedule people do visit similar pages. There are people in need of some specific information and there are people providing that useful piece of information. There could be similar or different reasons people are posting queries or answering these queries. This is about knowledge sharing. Please don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I am very knowledgeable person. :) But certainly there could be several knowledgeable persons active on this group. There are actually thousands of portals/groups etc to discuss about specific interests like automobile, computers, electronics, aviation etc. and millions of active members discussing on these subjects. If every one starts thinking like you, there will not be any knowledge sharing. We have a reason to visit this page and to post comments. Can you please give us a reason to visit this page ? Please explain what kind of useful knowledge or thought you have shared ? If you have no reason to visit or post any comment, don't you think it as a waste of time ? Suppose you need a specific information and if you don't get it, then what will be your reaction ? Will you blame others for having this information and not sharing the same ? Well, you don't need to answer this in public, just ask this to your self. Hopefully you will get an answer. Thanks.

  • Hey galiliyo i have a very interesting idea to try please check that. Can we see and capture the stars in night sky and crackers exploding in night sky . I am eager to know please check and tell. Thanks in advance.

  • Hey galiliyo i have a very interesting idea to try please check that. Can we see and capture the stars in night sky and crackers exploding in night sky . I am eager to know please check and tell. Thanks in advance.

  • I can't understand that a guy ,who has bought a mobile phone for about 14000 bucks , is answering every query raised here, don't he has other stuffs to do in life, its just a phone...damn it. I mean who daily spends hours just for a mobile which is just a gadget. Whats the deal ?

  • Hello ! Touch experience is Super Smooth and Swift. Thanks.

  • thanks dear... really u r a very helpful guy grateful 2 u...

  • Can anybody update me about the touch system of the phone? is it smooth ?

  • dear friends i am eager to know that it supports 1- usb computer keyboard or not 2- its screen has any gorilla glass kind of sacreen protection or not 3-supports printer or not

  • Hello Vin, Below are few Reviews for the reference. Thanks !

  • Hello Vin, I have a feeling that Reviews are only offered with good commercial deal with manufacturers. What I mean is manufacturers are using review and other sources to promote their products. Manufacturers not offering good commercial are less promoted, and gets very less popularity. Fortunately I came across this device and after detailed reviewing, comparison etc I purchased one. And I must say I am fully satisfied and more than happy with my choice. Just check Micromax Canvas HD A116 comments on this site only. You could see mixed comments, there are people who are fully happy or at least pretending so, or there are fully disappointed customers. According to me this mobile is way too hyped in reviews. But looking at the comments reality revels. After all its a marketing war, no matter what quality product and service manufacturer is offering, A manufacturer doing Aggressive Marketing wins the war. But in the end customer suffers a lot, what they get is only disappointment. So Chose Wisely ! Thanks

  • dear friends, i think there is no review and full specifications are given on spice mobiles official website and igyaan. also nowadays gsmarena is also not providing reviwes. or providing?? please check and tell

  • THANKS dear please also check it with keyboard and other computer devices like printer n ETC.

  • Thanx dear, u r so helpful, i am searching for keyboard connectivity and printer connectivity also. Please try if you can n reply thanx in advns dr frn

  • thanks

  • Hello Vin, Just checked USB Mouse is working super fine with OTG. I connected and found courser responding to the slightest movement immediately, no time at all to initialize. Even my laptop takes time to initialize mouse. I don't have a Keyboard (Using Laptop) hence could not check the same but it should work. USB Pen drive & External HDD also works fine with OTG. Considering Service I think Spice is better than BLU. Thanks.

  • Hello Harshal, If you compare features Spice MI 530 is way better than XOLO Q800 but Xolo is having better CPU than Spice. Below is comparison between Xolo Q800 & Spice Mi 530 Display - Xolo 4.5" Spice 5.3" Front Cam - Xolo 1.3MP Spice 5.0MP Battery - Xolo 2100 Mah Spice 2550 mAh Internal Memory Xolo 4 GB Spice 16 GB Also Spice MI 530 do have Ambient light sensor, Magnetic Compass, 3g on both SIM, Good Service Support, Good freebies, Very good fit and finish, etc. Over all according to me it is a complete package. My experience with Spice MI 530 so far is very good, Crisp and clear display, Good Sound, Good on call voice, Good Battery backup, Good Network, Very very smooth interface, Very good Internet surfing, Very stable device. Compare both devices and chose one that suites your requirement. Thanks.

  • Hi guys if you planing to buy cell phone so you must check BLU LIFE ONE and collect information...about it and please tell how to buy in india

  • confused between xolo Q800 & spice mi 530... plz help me i want to buy asap..

  • Hi, There is a Spice service center in Bibwewadi, near to Katraj. Check the link below :

  • Hi Friends, Can any one help me on the process to set customized (apart from the handset one) ringtones for MI-530 ? Thankx in advance.

  • Hello ! On home screen try to adjust speaker volume to maximum with Volume buttons. I think if this is set to minimal could affect loudness of the ring. Just give a try. Thanks.

  • Hello ! Display is great, crisp and clear even in bright day light. It is vivid and vibrant. HD Video, Browsing, viewing photos display gives best results. No problem what so ever. Never consider on paper comparison these things are hardly noticeable by normal eyes and other senses. What I mean is if you hide device model number will you be able to identify difference in display ? Pixel density may be less than any other phone but actual difference is not visual. Phone is super smooth, with all advance and basic features and very good battery backup. It is a complete package I can say. I am more than happy, actually never expected such a fantastic device at this price. Thanks.

  • Superb!!best phone in the market in this range.using for last one month.no prob at all.

  • since past 2 week onwards iam trying to purchase on saholic. but this product still out of stock. on ebay it is too costly, crossed 17k- 18k.

  • Hello guys this is first tym i m giving my opinion regarding mobiles. Spice Stellar is really superb phone Merits 1. 16 Gb Ram = Galaxy note 2 2. 1 Gb Ram = Ease to run all games(temple run 0r temple run 2, Need for speed(2 GB game), FL Commando etc etc) 3. 1.2 Ghz Dual Core Processor(Seriously guys its really good processor can handle 4 - 5 Tasks + Games at d same tym) 4. QHD Screen 960*540 (At this price dont compare it with Note-2 1280*720 But its far better than Grand Duos 800*480 and better than any other phone at this price range like canvas 2, Karbonn, Lava, Sony etc etc) 5. Camera 8mp Rear And 5mp Front (Guys its really good bcs at this price you cannot expect more) I m using it from last 1 month and it gives me good experience at times u will not miss ur Digi Cam 6. Sound Quality on ear phones is really good with good equaliser options. Head Phones comes with this set is really good u will not feel like listning on chinese headphones 7. 3G & Wifi Connectivity is really good- It is fast & stable 8. All High quality games works on this handset until & unless some specific games & apps design for some other specific models 9. Can handle high quality videos on youtube Spice Gr8 job Demerits: Guys any1 can find 1000 of demerits on any handset so i dnt think so expecting everything at this price is fair with Spice. So if u want to have a nice look handset with all features loaded on it GO FOR IT.

  • hey, I hv planned to buy this one. But as i noticed that its pixel density is low.. thus the pics on homescreen or menu drawer is not so much sharper in looks... can u please mail me the pics of Homescreen or drawer etc.. Please

  • hey, I hv planned to buy this one. But as i noticed that its pixel density is low.. thus the pics on homescreen or menu drawer is not so much sharper in looks... can u please mail me the pics of Homescreen or drawer etc.. Please ..

  • I did the same and selected maximum volume and even then i cant hear ring tone loudly...i guess it must be some speaker issue.

  • Hello ! I am not aware about International purchase, For online purchase make sure that your area falls under serviceable area of the courier company. At present device will be having ICS 4.0 loaded. Thanks.

  • Hi Guys, I'm from South Africa and would like to buy this phone online as it looks like a phone with great specs and value for money. would i be able to do OTA software upgrades or does one have to go to a service centre? We dont have this brand in South africa so dont have service centres.

  • Hello ! Go to settings - Audio Profiles - General - Volumes - then adjust the volume as per your requirement. Thanks.

  • What difference does it make. India would take about 10 yrs to even get to the 7.2 MBPS download speed on mobile internet.

  • Dude, In my Mi-530, the ringer volume is always low. I tried several loud ringtones, but somehow the audio is not improving. can u help me with some setting change or my device has some issue?

  • Gr8 news guys, the phone is now available on saholic for 13,999.

  • Hey can you send me sample photos of Spice Pinnacle to my email id [email protected]. How is the LED Flash. Is low light photography good. Thanks

  • Hello ! I am not sure about the speed but it is certainly better than my earlier Nokia and Samsung Omnia. Thanks.

  • I m in hurry to buy this phone.plz anybody tell me its hsdpa speed 7.2 or 21 mbps

  • Hello ! Battery Backup Review. Using it for more than 15 days now. My biggest concern was a good battery backup. And this phone has fulfilled this requirement. I found it beyond my expectations. Day 1 Charging 100 % (Late Night)Phone is fully charged and for the test. Day 2 Early morning out on business travel. Visited places where there was no network available for long time. Continues network searching. Moderate use of phone for calling, Few photos with GPS on for Geo tagging, moderate 3G surfing. Battery left 68% Day 3 Moderate phone calls, Photos with GPS, good 3G and WiFi Browsing. Some travel with network search. Battery Left 45% Day 4 Return journey with very often network searching similar to Day2, Moderate phone calls, good amount of WiFi Browsing for applications updates, and installation. Battery Left 23% Day 5 In the morning I was enjoying stay at home, started calling family and friends, WiFi browsing, just to drain out battery to 10%. Finally at Lunch time kept phone for charging. With moderate use battery lasted for 3+ days. You can certainly consider 3 full days of backup. Happy :) More than Happy :) :) :) Thanks.

  • Hello V. Gupta, Next to "Developer Options' there is ON/OFF Switch, If you turn it on all Developer Options are enable. Thanks

  • Please anybody tell me its hsdpa speed 7.2 or 21 mbps

  • Hello ! Please read my earlier posts regarding Jelly Bean 4.1.2 upgrade. Please don't assume something and comment. Spice Service ctr will never ask you to keep your handset for 2-3 days it is a matter of just few minutes. I went to Spice Service Ctr and within 25 Min. I was out with the upgrade. Actually he took less than 10 Minutes to do the upgrade, there was one customer before me he took 10 Minutes of time as he was getting a brand new handset as a free replacement under warranty. And I spent 5 minutes to check the device. It will not take more than 10 Minutes for the upgrade. I can understand On line upgrade is easy and convenient but unfortunately the same is not yet available. Thanks.

  • why spice is not providing upgrade jelly bean in air so that customer having new should not wander to search service centre and then they say leave ur mobile for 2-3days which one canot aford.Spice shold do so immedia to give relief to their spice pinnacle holders.thenx spice if they listen.

  • i don no where from you hav bought the benchmark anyway,bench mark result of canvas hd is 3803 and grand is 3766 source: and spice stellar pinnacle stands at 3400 and nenamark2 is 25.1

  • got upgraded to jelly Bean. I am loving it so much!!!!

  • Hello ! If you compare Slight better performance of Micromax Canvas HD A116 with almost similar performance and several additional features/advantages of Spice Stellar MI530 Pinnacle, Spice MI530 is always a better choice. What say ... ? Thanks.

  • Hello Mac, Thanks for sharing Benchmark result of Micromax Canvas HD A116 In response to my earlier post 'dbrjwasi1993' Mentioned Quadrant score as 4362 & Antutu score as 13916 :) May be his device is having Dual Quad Core :) Benchmark Scores..... Spice Stellar MI530 Pinnacle Quadrant - 3629 Nenamark 2 - 26.4 fps Antutu - 7838 Micromax a116 hd scores: Quadrant-3609 Nenamark 2- 40.3 fps Antutu- 8200 Samsung galaxy grand: Quadrant: 3967 Nenamark 2: 58.8fps Antutu: 8631 Surprisingly even after having better CPU & GPU Micromax Canvas HD A116 is just ahead of Spice Stellar MI530 Pinnacle in Antutu & Nenamark 2 and in fact little behind in Quadrant. Thanks

  • Spice is used to flavor foods or beverages. Please change your brand name to Sprice, Sprie, Sprixe or Splice. Brand name Micromax, Karbonn are very good to be heard...

  • Hi friends ! All we know very well that everything has a certain life so how long the phone "Spice stellar pinnacle mi 530" would be alive you realized with the normal,minimum and hard uses? Does the phone works well when more apps are to be loaded and internal memories are filled with minimum 10 GB out of 16 GB (10/16)? Does the phone acts well or more well after upgrading with jellybean? Please answer:

  • Hello ! It is really unfortunate, may be they don't have upgrade with them, hence they are waiting for 3-4 days. In Pune Service Ctr I went for an Upgrade and was out with latest upgrade and a big smile in less than 25 Mins. One person was sitting next to me was getting a brand new handset in replacement with additional 1 year warranty, he took around 10 mins. and Next it was me, technician took my handset and handover my SIM Cards, and Memory module and did the upgrade job in less than 10 Min, I checked the upgrade and other stuff, and in less than 25 Mins I was out of the service ctr. As of now Service Experience is way better than Nokia or other Service Ctrs. which are always crowded and takes couple of hrs to reach desk. Thanks.

  • Hi friends! every body should realize before buying any mobile phone or any electronics devices of any company must have to keep in mind some points at first!!(1).If anybody may get any quick proper services or proper treatments very gently after perches any device according to their promises as before!(2).If there are available service centers in locality or in affordable distances !(3).If there are any "eligible and well efficient technicians" in servicing centers the most valuable point!(4).If there are available any kind of accessories of the device is to be perched in servicing centers or in open market! Then nobody would take so longer time to make their decision to buy any mobiles or electronic devices of any company without any confusion !! So please it's my humble request to all, everybody should follows these above 4 (four) valuable points carefully before perches any mobile or electronics devices, then everybody must be benefited with their budgets , that's all.

  • Dear All In bangalore, in which service centre jelly bean update is available. Please let me know Tnx and rgds

  • Hi dude, Gr8 review. I know about spice, bcoz it s older thn MMX. So service is better thn MMX. Right now I m using Sony Ericson Aspen windows mobile. It s really eating my head. Now wants to upgrade. So I decided fr MMX A116, bt d availability is a big prb. Bt whn I compared with MI 530 I gt a huge difference apart frm d CPU n display. Rest of d things are far away frm A116. Supper specs are thr in Mi 530. Bt nw same prb fr this also, no availability. Right nw I m in Chennai. Online nt available in Saholic.com. Also one more thing the video recording is 720p or 1080p ? If u cld send me sme video samples in my mail id for 1080 p suits tht wl be helpful. ([email protected]). Thanks

  • Hello Raghu, Please read my earlier comments If you have any doubt do let me know. Display is very sharp, and clear. Its quality Fit and finish gives phone a premium look. Thanks.

  • Hello ! Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is available and I have already got this upgrade few days back. Thanks.

  • Hello Shailen ! Please refer to my earlier posts. Battery is very good, I am getting @ 2 Days backup with full Mobile use for Calling, 3G browsing, Wifi, Download, Few Videos and music, and some gaming. Even after this good use there still some juice left. With heavy usage It should easily last 1 1/2 days. Charging is also very fast. Spice Service is very good, so far I am happy. Wrote to Spice Service Ctr. regarding Jelly Bean Upgrade 4.1.2 got revert and advice to visit service ctr. for upgrade. Visited local Service Ctr. and Upgrade was done in less than 15 Min. Also there was one customer whose handset was not repairable (after 8 Months), Spice offered him a brand new handset of equivalent amount, with additional 1 year warranty. After a very detailed and practical study, I have purchased this device and I am fully happy with this GEM. Thanks.

  • Dear go to your nearest service center and get it updated to jelly beans

  • Root application are not working... What to do with that

  • Hello ! As mentioned earlier I was also impressed with these two devices, then I started practical comparison, and finally I reached to a conclusion that Spice MI530 is a better Package. I am just trying others to help make their decision, and that is the reason I am posting few comments on Micromax A116 page. About Camera yes it is capable of recording HD Videos. and yes it can play full HD videos as well, and Yes to HDR. Camera Dual flash is very bright and does its job perfectly. It has ZSD, Geo Tag, Continuous Multiple shot up to 40, Exposure, Self Timer, Sharpness, Hue, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast, Picture Size (Pixel), ISO, AE Meter, Anti Fliker, Scene Modes, White Balance, Flash Mode, Yes HDR, Panorama, etc, with Video recorder you have Video Quality (HD), Geo Tag, EIS, Focus Mode, Exposure, Sense Mode, Video Duration, Microphone, Sharpness, Hue, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast, Anti Flicker, Audio Mode, Time Laps Interval, Effects, Color Effect, Flash Mode, etc. Display is also very good and Bright, No problem even out in bright day light. Viewing angle is not that wide, but still it is good. Its Fit and Finish is very nice and it certainly looks like a premium device. I was very much concerned about this as this is my first budget phone. Trust me it looks premium. Camera is also very good but not as good as high end devices like Sony Xperia Or samsung S3 but sure it is worth. In addition to this, it has got a very very buttery smooth interface, Absolutely no lags, Network strength is also very good, and even better than my Samsung Omnia, & Nokia so Big relief. On call voice clarity is exceptionally good. Noise cancellation feature seems to be working properly. Also Spice Service support is very good so far, as per their promise they have provided Jelly Bean 4.1.2 upgrade. WIfi & 3G is very good, Fast and smooth, Wifi better than my Samsung Omnia, and 3G Better than Nokia. 3G is real Fast. I was not at all expecting that cool performance from a device at this price. It is a wonderful surprise. I am considering it as a complete PACKAGE ! Thanks.

  • He dude i following U since a long time. Also u are giving comments in MMX A116 page regarding this mobile. I am still nw wating fr tht mobile. Bt I m nt a mad like others fr a brand. So I m searching a good mobile on 15k. So in this mobile lt of +ve things I found fr the money I m gng 2 spend. Thn also I am waiting fr MMX A116 on retail market. I v 2 do a hands on experience.Bt after seeing sme eye catching features in Spice Mi530 I changed my mind near to 60%. Jst clear me one thing whts the video recording and playing format (720p or 1080p or both). How is d quality of video. Also hw is d camera performance. Wht are d features available for camera settings. HDR modes available? How is d flash working in low light? Main thing is hw is d display looks? Like color saturation, viewing angle, brightness. Wll this give a prime look on hand. Plz answer these.......

  • Guys can u tell me how to updated ICS to Jelly bean. Bcoz iam new to android

  • Yes n very well

  • Spice Stellar Pinnacle MI 530 ! BEST phone one can have at this Price ! Real Value for Money ! This is the first time I bought a budget phone. I have never ever used Micromax or Spice before. I always used Sony, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia, just because of the quality they offer. I went to the shop to buy Samsung Grand, because my budget was very limited, else I would have gone for Xperia Z. At our local shop the Samsung Grand was not available I even waited for an hour, and had to leave for my work. I was very busy hence could not visit the shop again. Then at late night I started searching online for an option in the budget of @ 20K like HTC, Nokia Lumia 820, etc. Then I came across Micromax Canvas HD A116 and Spice Stellar Pinnacle MI 530. I started my research and only got confused between these. Then I decided that this time I will give a try to Micromax or Spice and then I decided this GEM over Micromax mainly because of following. These are the few better features available with Spice Stellar Pinnacle MI 530 1. Tri band 2. Bigger Screen 3. Ambient Light Sensor 4. Magnetic Sensor (For Digital Compass) 5. In built memory of 16 GB 6. High speed and low power consuming Bluetooth Ver. 4.0 7. Future Upgradability to latest Android OS 8. Bigger Battery of 2550 mAh. 9. 5MP Front Camera. 10. Some high end features like Flip to mute, auto answer etc. 11. Accessories like Leather Cover, Screen Protector, OTG Cable, NQ Antivirus, etc. 12. No Booking & no Waiting at all. And these were some better features available with Micromax Canvas HD A116 1. Quad core processor 2. Better screen. That�s all, My choice was clear. I am using this phone since couple of days and I am fully satisfied with my choice. If you are thinking of buying this phone then I would only say �thinking is such a waste of time� go get your GEM MI-530. Shall write detail review soon. Thanks.

  • Hello ! Yes HD video recording is available with this device. Thanks.

HSDPA, 21 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps , 16M Colors means 16M Colors !and it has complete full in-depth review on you tube from the very beginning , mother board is not belong to china !external memory Expandable Up To 64 GB , whatever samsung says about it's features that's 100% genuine !! so I would say to go with samsang grand every one ! but if spice mi pinnacle or any other companies do there job perfectly at low price in their struggling periods then no problem to go with them at all , don mind

  • Plz wait to come upgrade version then it will be 4.1.2 ....

  • Is this a dual band or tri band phone some site say its tri band.

  • did dis phone support adobe flash?????????

  • The device comes with 5.3"qHD IPS display with 240dpi. The Display is Natural and nice, without any oversaturation of colours, and the touch is highly responsive, far better than micromax's superfone pixel and canvas2. It has dual core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2Ghz per core with PowerSGX 531 as GPU, supported by 1Gb of RAM, from which 980mb is available, and 16Gb of ROM out of which ~12.4Gb is user accessible. It has dual sim slots with dual 3G, and expandable memory upto 32Gb. All this is supported by 2550mah of battery, which in real usage gave me around 2 days of normal usage and with heavy usage the battery died in around 7-8 hours with around 2 hours of calling,hours of 3g and wifi browsing and few hd gaming. This has dual cameras, 8mp rear with dual LED flash, that comes with features like panaroma, 3D pictures, multi shot, face beautification, night mode, etc. Also it can record full HD videos of 1080p at 15fps.front camera of 5mp sets it apart from all other devices.The cameras perform really well. Note:if The Device is rooted you can adjust video quality to the max and shot FullHD videos in mp4 format in 30fps with AAC audio format.

  • raghu can u please share ur experience with mobile please....abt battery backup..look...and performence...any lags ..and is there facility to edit documents...and play ppts.....please post a mini review of ur exp...please...waiting.....

  • plz tell me which gpu it is using yar? and also FPS

  • superb phone in the range i am using since 20 days and had no issues at all, battery life is good, camera superb the only drawback is its bit weighty but we can afforrd it as the price is low superb phone....

  • I bought the two weeks ago, superb phone. Smooth stunning flawless. By seeing my phone 3 of my friends bought it. The best thing in the phone is the front n back camera. The front one the better than the back, but the black is the best. Skype video calling is a great fun. Battery life is superb compared to other mobiles. If Internet used it will come for 1.50 days. Screen resolution is good. Camera clarity of both cameras is great. I compared the snapshots taken from Samsung s3 n my phone both r same, great. Internet surfing fast now very smooth. Great phone friends. Who can't afford Samsung costly mobile this is a alternative. I am enjoying this phone!!!!

  • 2hrs of battery life ....is..big issue dude ...because min 10 hrs ...need to be there

  • Battery life 2-2.5 hours!!! JOKE... In that case you may have a faulty one or may be you are running too many apps in the background.

  • hey share you email address , ill pass you the details along with dropbox info so that you can download the files too .

  • I have purchased the phone. Its good and I still have no issues with the phone. Talking about the battery life. If you use internet to download and play games the battery life is not high max 2 to 2.5 hrs, but its for all android phones. Display is good and the camera works really fine. Worth to buy. Do not listen to people who haven't used it. But its not been introduced yet in Mumbai market. I purchased it from Saholic.com. But whatever has been promised by the company was there when I unboxed.

  • Hi All...i got the fone 2 weeks ago...wantd to share my views to everyone. this fone is superb for the budget range of 15000..i am reali happy that i have chosen this mob..thnx spice team.. Please if someone can assist on unrooting this fone it would be very greatful. Let me know how we can unroot..TIA :)

  • I think ur a micromax fanboy and your English is really bad .On heavy usage it lasts at around 4-5 hours which includes HD gaming, wifi browsing, etc And its talktime also exceeds 5 hours on multiple durations.Devices you are talking about are performance sets, and due to their massive screens fall into category of phablets.

  • Dear Spice Team, Please dont foolish the people... please try to introduce the thing which market demand not which your people want, else your market will also closed like MAX MOBILE. Please try to introduce the varient like JIAVY G#3 and G#4 in india.. if you really want to come back in market.... else future is only Micromax family.... Also all you peolpe having good opprtunity.. as now NIOKIA,HTC,SONY struggling there market... its good time to come back... Sorry if hearts this messege...

  • thank you so much dear friend okay i will buy it ,,,, 720p is good for me

  • I bought this mobile yesterday, to start with the pros : - Big Screen, Decent display - 16GB internal storage (apart from my SD card storage) - 1 GB RAM - 5 MP front camera with face detection - USB OTG for using it with my USB dongle - Anti virus software preloaded The cons are : - The loudspeaker is not very good, especially if you are listening to music. - 8 MP photo gets pixelated when I zoom, I wonder why - Told me its upgradeable to jelly bean, but even after trying the software update - it is still working on ICS. And the software update result says your phone has the latest software. - The Power ON button is a little flimsy - you will need this everytime your phone is locked.

  • Amazing phone...got it 3 weeks back....plz do not compare it with Galaxy....remember its worth 13 k ...and for that price....u hvae to be too greedy to ask for more.. - amazing looks...best looks for a 5 above inch mobile - 1 gb ram helps with the games....no lags - flip to mute , hold at ears to answers work...but without the leather cover - battery is a problem though...i use an iphone 3gs with very bad battery backup..i though this might help...not much though...u play games...2 to 2.5 hours at the max - 8 mp and 5 mp ...not really....divide them by 2....but no complains for the price they provide at - Amazing experience while surfing the net...runs smoothly..and huge screen helps..though personally feel too big to carry..but i use it as a tablet For this price..infact in the 20 k price segment...BEST

  • I am planning to buy a new phone ranging under 15000. Should i purchase Spice steller pinnacle? Please help me those who have used it before. Waiting for your valuable suggestions. Thanks

  • Dear flip to mute is working. If it is not working then one should go to service centre and get it checked.

  • Dear rooted means that you own administrative rights. You can install rooted apps available on google play like titanium backup etc.. You can install custom roms available developed by various developers. Most of the phones available in the market are not rooted. You have to root it yourself. But this comes rooted. I hope I have answered your query...

  • Yes it comes rooted and you can install rooted apps, custom roms etc, on it. Thanks

  • Dear rooted means that you own administrative rights. You can install rooted apps available on google play like titanium backup etc.. You can install custom roms available developed by various developers. Most of the phones available in the market are not rooted. You have to root it yourself. But this comes rooted. I hope I have answered your query...

  • Does you mean flip to mute technology does not work in SPICE MI 530? Why there is foul advertising?

  • It is 720p. Great quality and impressive low light images and videos.

  • dear frnds...Both the smartphones have Dual SIM slots with Dual Standby capability which means one can use both the SIM�s simultaneously.(a 116 & mi 530) In terms of network bands the Spice MI 530 supports triband for GSM network (GSM 900/1800/1900) and dual band for 3G network (WCDMA 900/2100). This is a good news for the people who travel to other parts of the world where the network bands change. Unfortunately the Micromax A116 doesn�t support triband, it supports a dual band for 2G network (GSM 900/1800) and a single band for 3G network (HSDPA 2100)...so spice is best better option for those who travel outside to india..grtt spice..

  • Where did you bought this phone at Chennai?

  • Actually it's Rupee sign before 13050.

  • Dear, The resolution is defiantly qHD. Capture a screenshot and go to properties on your PC, you'll get it.

  • Really Ammazing! Worth buying! I got it as low as ₹ 13050 from eBay (with discount coupon). I also have iPhone 5 but use Pinnacle for calling and SMS. It's got high end features like Smart Call/Answer etc. Very rich package including Flip Cover and USB OTG Cable.I'm really impressed with 1.5 / 2 day of battery life compared to Canves HD. Camera record 720p and photos are bright going up to 2.7mb per photo. Bluetooth 4.0 works like rocket. Flip to Mute didn't work for me. I've used almost all famous launchers like Go Lanunchr, SBP Shell, Launcher8 and off course the stalk one and everyone of it worked fast and responsive. I can say "I'm not going to give it up even if you offer GS3 for free" The only thing that it should've been loaded with is Jelly Bean.

  • dear all those who are waiting for micromax a116 from last one month...plss dnt wait..go for this handset this is awesome n brilliant..mmx is not gud in service...dnt waste ur time in waiting one mnths...try this really u will love it..and spice team has promised that this will b updated to 4.1.2 jelly bean..than y to go for mmx in same price..only resolution of mmx is gud,nothing else...i m lovimg this handset from last 20 days,,..awesome...only resolution shud b improved by spice team...

  • How can one use the USB OTG feature, I tried it use it with my USB portable hard disc, for copying my backup files and images, and did not work. Also there any instructions available in the user manual, Thanks

  • Hii I have used This device for 3 weeks and it was a wonderful experience. Pros: 1) Nice rich look and feel. 2) Gaming is fun due to hardware 3) Everything works smooth almost every time like subway surfers and temple run also asphalt6 worked well. 4) Camera pics i felt can be better especially compared to my Canvas2. Cons: 1) I find the display pixels visible. 2) Music system is not that good. 3) Bigger videos like 720p or 1080p doesnt play smooth on either mxplayer and videoplayer as well. 4) My wifi disconnects sometimes. If this device can be promoted well it can be a tough contender to other brands of same segment. Any questions regarding this u can ask me here. Thnxx....

  • great reviews men ! but tell me video rec is hd !!! 720p or 1080p ????

  • hello dear !!!! how about video !!!! 720p !!!!'

  • Can u plz make me understand what is "rooted"

  • dear all my frnds those who are telling that resolution of this phone is gud than I think u all r not aware of micromas canvas a110 resolution...though spice mi 530has given 540*960(208ppi) than also it is not compared with mmx a110 as it is only 480*854(196ppi)less than spice...than my ques to spice team is that havng more resolution n 16M colors as compared to a110 y mi 530 is lagging behind in comparison..wen I bought this piece I was disappointd in resolution..next time before launching any handset spice team shud do benchmarking from market & than they shud launch instead fooling customers by saying something n giving something...I think spice team shud re call the handsets back which is sold via online till now.. mi 530 & shud work on resolution filter the issues n handover again...

  • This phone is 100% rooted as I have installed so many rooted apps like titanium backup etc. This is a great plus of this phone. I am using this phone for the past one week. It is worth its price and surely better than micromax canvas hd and can easily compete with likes of samsung grand etc.

  • Its absolutely great. Also for ringer volume, it also depends on the audio file you are using. But the actual volume/default one is pretty good. All signaling, clarity and wifi connectivity is perfect. I can access wifi routed from my laptop to this phone even from couple of floors above. Plus... the speed and touch of this phone are simply unbelievable. I hadnt expected this much ... but this is indeed a great device.

  • Plz tell me Bettery back up in talk time & how much price of this handset

  • Yes video call is possible on 3g network, it also play mkv files but i dont know for some mkv files the audio is missing, but u can obtain the mkv player from google play.

  • Baught this phone on 19th Feb. Awesome phone except for the flip cover which again is good but not awesome. The phone has endless features. Pic quality is great in the sunlight. I tried a few HD games but most dint play except for trial extreme, temple run and few others. The shop owner gave a few paid apps(must be corrupt) but most dint work so downloaded from google play. I would suggest go for it. The call volume is loud enough and those who are worrying about files that play or not there are thousands of apps available that play all files. Internet speed is great i am using 3g.

  • Press the Call icon and then press the left side key looking like (...) then press settings you can access the call setting.

  • touch call icon then touch the left side key (...)

  • i like it very good phone low price good specifications .....

  • How to access call settings on this phone...please help?

  • Hi alex, I am a samsung fan all my family is likewise but I bought spice MI500 for to give to my cousin sister as her first android but on all the parameters this is excellent Rgds,

  • Bought it from Saholic. Absolutely worth it. Who knew micromax before a110. Its a good phone with features better then a116 for sure. A definate recommend

  • Does this phone allow video call over 3g network. Can I play mkv video file.

  • In my opinion ,micromax would be much bettrer as it is now a leadind international brand now,where as spcs is absolutely useless,almost chinese phone types.Have little service centre and parts available...............

  • @gupta, Is it really rooted, already

  • Guyz , anyone using this phone please answer my query ..is the ringing volume loud enough? how is the in call voice clarity ? Coverage , Network Signal strenght ? How are the Wifi connectivity signals ? I have seen in a few low cost handsets that the wifi connectivity signals are a bit lower as compared to Samsung or other branded phones.

  • i am confused about canvas HD and spice stellar mi 530 . which one is best

  • Taking into consideration the specifications I think Micromax A116 Canvas HD is a better option to buy.Micromax A116 Canvas HD has quad core processor and Jelly Bean whereas this phone has ICS and dual core processor so performance of A116 will be smoother than this one.Micromax A116 Canvas Hd weighs only 157 grams and this phone weighs 196 grams that is too much.Considering the previous experience of Spice I fear to go with Spice.I think Karbonn S1 Titanium is also a better option at low price than this.Karbonn S1 Titanium also has quad Core processor.

  • Purchased it from saholic.com and received it within 2 days. I am using this phone for the past three days. Following are the pros and cons : Pros : 1. Good build quality. 2. Fast (no lags) -installed about 70 apps 3. Superb connectivity. 4. Display is good (not excellent) 5. Good Battery life (It can last a day with heavy use) 6. Great internal memory (16gb) 7. Games play very smoothly. 8. At this price it is an excellent buy, better than micromax canvas hd (very poor micromax after sales service) 9. Best part is, it comes rooted. 10. Excellent call quality. Cons : 1. Average music quality. 2. Low volume of speaker. This is my opinion of this mobile after using it for three days. Believe me you wont repent after buying it.

  • This phone 'Spice Mi530 Pinnacle' is built with very good features no doubt! but I feel spice should give us new one hand set next, adding little more feature like 1).AMOLED SCREEN , 2). HDMI PORT 3).DUAL STEREO SPEAKERS WITH DOLBY DIGITAL SRS SURROUND Cristal clear sound WITH EQUALIZER 4.SNOOPER HEAD SET and SCREEN SIZE WOULD BE 4" to 4.3" or 4.6" for easily fit to hand and Carrie able in pocket along with it's all previous specifications !OS ICE CREAM SANDWICH or may be JELLYBEAN, color one is fully BLACK & one is fully WHITE then that one would be the best one I suppose !!!

  • phone internal memory is 16 GB.... user available is 12 GB...

  • Hi I have used this phone since 15 days before this I have samsung galaxy ace and I am really surprised that this phone is best. net speed is too fast as galaxy all the hd games working very well and no any issue address till yet...I am very happy from my this phone..

  • Can anybody tell me about its phone memory & its Antutu & quadrant score ???

  • can anyone please tell me something about rooting... i mean what exactly it is and how it is good for your phone.. how it affects the performance of your phone.... plz plz plz tell me somebody..

  • This phone also supports one click root ::wifi hotspot formation which means it have all the features of a high end mobile then why to waste 25-30 k

  • It's have normal sim slot so correct it with mini sim in specification.

  • Ultimate set for mid range buyer.. Presently no one providing 3-axis magnetic sensor, 3-axis accelerometer, proximity sensor, light sensor, gyroscope sensor, rotation vector sensor, gravity sensor, linear acceleration sensor, orientation sensor and corrected gyroscope sensor at this cost.. so I suggest to all who are really techno person and have mid budget then go for it. I'm fully satisfy with it.

  • The phone seems to be great. super phone! I like it alot. If you are thinking it as an option for other phones then definetly go for this phone. great work from spice.

  • i am harry i find ur handset by gsm arena its good handset right now i purchased new handset micromax a110 before if i get infromation about this handset definatly i perchased this handset its posibale that handset you can carry provide this handset

  • I have this phone friend. It's awesome.. I was also confused about micromax and spice. But trust me. This is phone that will give u everything or beyond that. Just go fir pinnacle....

  • While in doubt, go for Spice.... Without doubt Micromax may have marketing pull but Spice gives you good product with surprisingly good after sales service. I have been using Spice product for past 4 years and recent one is Mi530 which is an excellent phone in this category.

  • can anyone give Opinion abt battery life

  • This is an amazing phone. It exceeded my expectations. I bought this piece yesterday, tweaked it inside out, loaded it full with all the necessary software. - The phone has no lags at all. Its super speedy, the dual core processor does just perfect with 1GB Ram provided. - Usable Internal memory allows be to use it without any external memory card. Its around 12GB out of 16GB. - Screen it good ! The levels of brightness are amazing. Also the light sensors works well and saves the battery. - The biggest surprise, the touch. Touch is of supreme quality, didn't expect it to be so sensitive. Its utterly smooth, that you will just love to browse through your device. - The direct call, intelligent answer & Flip to mute functions works fine, some high end features provided in this phone at this budget. - I am a communication designer and i love to see my works/colors of different graphics we make. And trust this device, its screen is very well enough where i can enjoy my work, the colors and brightness are perfectly fine, thou it may lack a little in sharpness. But as our works are tweaked enough i couldnt make much of difference between pinnacle and my xperia neo V. - Battery life is pretty good, i used wifi for like 5 hours since last eve after battery was fully charged, continuously browsing through the device, and data connection on whole time. Its still 36% after 14.5 hours of use. - And .. There are NO heating issues in this phone. - Oh and btw.. both sim slots provides 3G support. - And sound is fine, if you are a music freak you are always recommended to use other custom headphones for best experience. - And thing about camera is, The sensors determines the quality of the image and not the mega pixles, so pictures from these phone are never going to beat ones from better camera sensors. So even its its 5MP or 8MP you wont see any quality among these budget phones, cause they all have thumbnail size sensors, from where you can never expect QUALITY images. Again this is coming from a professional designer/faculty who knows what he is writing :) My conclusion. Its one of the best thing you can get in 14k. The best thing i am enjoying is lag free browsing on big big screen. And i dont expect that this phone would ever give me lags because of the balance between processor and ram.

  • Using it from last 7 Days truly no problem till now. 1. Display is not stunning like my other one Atrix 2 but its very good(only 20ppi less then atrix 2), brightness is go beyond expectation to give you sharper screen on sunlight. 2. Battery- king of all, spend full day with moderate use charging time is also quick. 3. Touch Response- unbelieving touch response this is the only thing i worried before buying it. 4. speed is very decent no problem at all yet. 5. graphical acceleration - i havent play so much game on this device but lengthy videos makes problem wile dragging forwarding bar but after using software acceleration its gone. 6. with 5mp camera in front face unlocking is very improve in comparison of others vga or 1.3 mp camera specifically in low light Cons - 1. cmpny didnt work so much on GUI but i am expected it with Jelly bean update.... 2. brand name!!! :-( i recommend to buy this one, its very affordable, i am sure when it comes in retail u will face out of stock problem like canvas 2.

  • i hv come to kno that this phone has heating problem within 15min of use or charging gets hot like an steam iron and another one that if u using net on sim2 then calls on sim1 go to missed folder and u cant pick them to answer

  • recivd mine today around 2pm !!! after unboxing it had 40% battery left. played with it continuously(initial desired set up,tried many launchers,installed some apps etc.)then around 8pm battery came down to 10%(with super heavy use !!!) kept it for charging at 8pm & surprisingly it showed me green led(battery full indicator) in around 2-2.5 hours !!! :O in that short span my device was fully charged !!! battery seems to be really good :) so far m quite happy with my pinnacle,cheers spice !!! :)

  • do u hv a prev experience with spice ???? How can one be so sure abt the quality and that it will run smoothly for 1yr without making him run to service center every other week from his busy schedule????

  • Hi. Mr singh i am max its been a week i am using spice mi 530 no idea of processor name but can assure you spice is better than Micromax a116 hd dont look at quad core processor look spice dual core but 5.3 inch screen 16 gb memory out of which u get 12.95 gb user memory 2550 mah battery last 24 hours normal usage. Its better leave micromax plus on the go cable for pendrive spice rocks..

  • Hi...! plz. tell me , may I make video calls with spice mi530 pinnacle..? because of I saw in review that there was no video calling dialer in phone dialing option ! so I want to know very clearly that (1).may I make skipe call & video call separately ? and (2).if I rise the volume just more or full is there any distortions arise ? (3). suppose any working is running such as gaming or others and just at that time one call comes or make one call in that condition is there arise any hearing problem both sides caller & listener? (4). How it's audio quality at-least on head phone as an smart phone? 3D surround or dolly digital or SRS or super stereo ?

  • great phone. awosome disply. plenty offeatures. cons: battery over all: scores 8 out of 10

  • u shuld hv bought mmx can hd a116

  • Hey can you tell me does this phone record and play full 1080p HD(not asking for 720p) video? Thank you.

  • I booked the Pinnacle last week and got it delivered on Tuesday. I was dead sure to go for a Nokia when the Pinnacle ad popped up. Major Likes: 1. Big 13.46 display - qHD (Quarter HD). This is more than enough to give a good striking display 2. Dual SIM (Both 3G) 3. USB on the go (major feature) 4. 8MP/5MP Cameras with Dual LED First of all, the SIM card is a normal SIM card spec and NOT a mini or micro SIM spec, so you don't have to cut the card at all Setup and installation was a breeze, within minutes the phone was working perfectly. THe camera is quite good for an 8MP. I fee Spice has used the 8MP/5MP piece as is. But I find no reason not to dislike it. It's quite powerful and the pictures taken by it have good dynamic range. I have experienced no lags with the UI. Looks can kill, the phone is quite bigger in hand than what you see as pictures. The on-screen keyboard is a breeze and works well. The screen is also good and perfectly complements the other components of the phone. But you can still see the pixels when you look at certain parts of the UI, but that's ok as I am not really concerned on the display as much as the overall phone. I would recommend this phone to anyone who wants a good, fast phone for under 15k. 2 areas I feel that can act against the phone are its: 1. Weight: The phone is quite heavy when compared to other phones. 2. Battery: The drain from the battery is quite fast. But I am also assuming that the battery and charging logic has to adapt to the usage styles first.

  • Its the usual Brown Colour, Leather feel. With Plastic brown Casing below.

  • what is the color of its flip flap leather cover

  • HI, Please let me know the cost.....and more views on this phone....and where to buy.....

  • hi buddy go for it . IT will not disappoint you

  • i agree with u if once has to compare mi 530 with micromax A116 head on then 530 is much better.

  • Hi guys I bought this Beauty a week ago, its a very beautiful phone with excellent build quality, I bought it in brown colour & the entire back and side is in brown colour which makes it looks very posh. the front is in black colour with elevated glass, similar to nokia Lumnia series. It has a dedicated camera button to take the pictures. coming the performance of the phone its pretty fast in opening the applications and plays all the heavy games flawlessly. Picture quality is similar to the 5 MP of samsung and nokia phones which is amazing as i have used Dell streak earlier where the camera was of VGA quality and sucked.the pictures are very crisp and thanks to its dual LED pictures taken is night too is really good. The internet browsing experience has been disappointed as its been very slow i am not able to figure out whether its a phone prob or a network as on my tab 2 7.0 it was very fast. the screen resolution is good and bright enough in sunlight.I have played 1080 P video seamlessly. The front cam quality is the same of samsung note.battery back up is ok as it giving me close to 24 hours of backup with nominal usage. the accessories includes additional scratch guard, a flip colour which gives it NOTE 2 looks and a usb cable to connect USB drive directly to mobile .The final verdict this is the best phone for thi sprice, i bought it for 13600 in hotspot hyd. and will give run for money for other mobiles with its looks and features. i would suggest this to all who wants the best with the features and looks of high end phones worth 30 K for 13 K.

  • Y micromax canvas HD - 1)quad core latest cheapset 2)HD screen Y spice pinnacle 530 - 1)good screen 2)USB OTG support(can HD - N/A) 3)better battery of 2550mah.(can HD - 2000mah) 4)better internal storage of 16GB(can HD - 4GB) 5)better front camera of 5mp autofocus. 6)free accessories like flip cover,OTG cable & screen guard(saves around Rs.600-1000) based on my personal experience regarding Android os on any day,i would chose battery over an extra core. considering can HD's screen it will need battery like Note2(3100mah)or at least 2500+ which is not the case here with stock 2000mah battery,i doubt how it will survive a day. regarding after sale service thers nothing much to compare.they both are same. there is no way i am saying here Canvas HD is a bad phone.but if choice is given i will choose spice 530 over can HD only coz of better battery & usb OTG support. & NO thers no spice logo on the back of flip cover based on youtube videos i have seen so far.thers only spice name embeded on front right bottom corner.

  • Micromax A116 Canvas3 is powered by the latest generation MediaTek MT6589 processor which is based on the Cortex A7 architecture. The GPU is a PowerVR SGX5 chip which is about twice as powerful as the SGX531 chip in the Canvas 2. This should bode well for mobile gaming enthusiasts. Spice Mi530 - cpu MT6577 CORES 2 ARM V7 PROCESSOR REV0 (V7L) . GPU POWER VR SGX 531 VERSION OPEN GL ES 2.0 So why should one buy this and not micromax a116 canvas3 ??????

  • So finally some one tell me should i trust spice and buy this phone or not, and one more thing is there any spice logo or something on the flip flap cover provided with it or is it plain??????

  • can anyone tell me that does this mobile spice pinnacle mi530 able for video call from 3G sim..remember i m not talking about video calling on skype/nimbuz/fring... i m talking about video calling from 3G sim.as i saw in the review videos there is no videos calling option at its dialer.

  • sure it will play 1920x1280 videos

  • hey friend's i brought this phone ...i like all feature .....but it has a problem in display ...display is not good .....camera is 8 mega pixel but it photo is not clear .....and when i dial it show picture like blur so i think it is not so much good u can get other phone at low price with this feature ........ any problem contact me @ [email protected]

  • No jay..i just wanted that my phone should play full hd(1080p)videos as this can confirm the power of this phone

  • yeah man you can... you can get plenty of apps from google play store also to do so..nowadays even 4k android phone can do this:)

  • This is good but if you wait for 15-20 days more then you can get 3600 to 3700 quadrant score quad core phones in same price from mmx,karbonn,lava...I am waiting for them:)

  • Hey, the feature you are trying on Spice won't be avilable as it is specipic to Samsung. Ig you do want to use it then install a launcher (Golauncher gor example) from google play.

  • can we open word,excel n pdf files on this set

  • yes u r absolutely right bro but if u compare micromax with nokia mmx stands nowhere. They do give 1YR warranty but there sets problem from 3mnths onwards. Mmx has really bad quality overall even if u keep it safe and handle it like a jewel it will give u problem and life will be over within 1yr. Although u r right but i just wanted to clarify how is spice in comparision to nokia n all? How much points will spice get against nokia samsung???? And lastly should i buy this ????

  • hi friends i bought the mobile and its best mobile on this price . i upload the quadrant standard benchmark very soon but i m telling about processor and cpu MT6577 CORES 2 ARM V7 PROCESSOR REV0 (V7L) . GPU POWER VR SGX 531 VERSION OPEN GL ES 2.0

  • Yes, It include screen guard and leather case which is very good

  • Please read my complete review it will clarify your doubts. Check for Bala santhosh

  • Hai..I am from Kerala, where this mobile is not yet launched and we are expecting this phone by last week of Feb-2013. before that, somebody please help me by giving reply for following doubts. 1. how is the screen viewing angles/screen brightness/ sun light visibility. 2. battery back up for how much days( I make calls for 1hr to 1.5hrs daily) 3. how is display clarity when compared with Galaxy S-2(I lost my S-2 in my train journey to my college at Erode, Tamil Nadu) 4. ringing sound. higher ring volume is a MUST for ladies, because we keep mobile in our bags/purses 5. internet speed in 2G connection 6. GPS locating/google maps 7. office applications like word, excel etc 8. AUTO call recording without BEEP 9. whether the "USB on the go" is working properly? whether it reads "pen drives" up to 32GB? 10.what about video and still photography? Thanking you in advance and awaiting for your early reply

  • yes brother it comes with flip cover and otg cable also

  • it includes a a flip cover like Samsung note 2

  • Head to the SPICE hotspot, or you can buy it online too

  • Where do I get this phone in Mumbai

  • Hey Rahul, Looks like you want the Universe in a 14K phone???.. I shall download few files and store it on phone and review the same and update by end of the day!.

  • Hello, Any one know how to upgrade it to 4.1 or 4.2 ? It comes with a 4.04 OS...

  • Rajveer, In the end everyphone is Made in China and Assembled here or even that process might be there to reduce the Cost!!. Hardware is what you need to concentrate, the Mediatek device is pretty cheap and gives almost better results when compared to a Tegra 2 or Qualcomm, or Snapdragon processors.. its proved by Quadrant. Hence these Low cost Manufacturers are preferring Mediatek to provide us phones at this price!!.. Had they choosen the later, then they would have to be upwards of 25K too.. The other price factor is the Display, the Better the display(AKA AMOLED > LED >QHD > LCD ) , the pricier it is!.. So comparing Micromax to Spice, Both are low cost manufacturers,trying to get into the niche market with Bigger Displays with smarter configuration. The longetivity of phones depend on how you use it, how rugged you push the phone, ie Do you drop the phone, How do you Charge/Discharge the phone. Softwares load/modify/Delete. So invariably every phone manufacturer wants devices to be used for less time, and new phones to be utilized!.. So each phone has shelf life of 12 months- 36 months... Some good care taken phones can last upto 5-6 years too!!.. Depends on how you take care of your jewel!.. If you notice no Manufacturer gives Hardware Warranty after 12 months, so they are pretty much sure that the hardware cant last for rugged use after that!!.. So My sincere advise is buy based on Config, need, Price!!.. take good care, and regardless of MM or Spice the phone should Last!! 18 months ..

  • hey can u confirm if this can play 1080p videos ?or lags

  • Hey Akash, Can you check the SIM, if its correctly seated, also try changing it to the other SIM slot and retry . Also if possible test with another SIM of another person, to see if its to do with SIM?? Once you have isolated that its not a SIM problem. Then the wise thing to do is to take it to the Service Centre. The issue could be with the different GSM spectrums the phone is trying to connect with the way its Configured. Between, Mine is a Airtel India SIM, so its not giving any such Problems.

  • i got this phone a week back n i m facing n issue When i call or get a call i m not able to listen properly the other person n nor is he when i m speaking so basically both parties get distorted voice with lot of disturbance. Is anyone else also facing this issue of voice clarity during call?????

  • Hey Rajveer, The box contains a flip flap hard shell Leather cover. Not that gr8. but does the job seamlessly. comes with a screenguard too!!! though that too covers only the screen and exposes the black covering beside!!

  • Could some one please update nenamark 2 scores, quandrant scores?

  • Does its box contains a flip/flap cover like samsung galaxy note or just a pouch ??

  • Bro does excel,word n pdf files open on this set? Does it support multi-touch screen? I hv frnds that say that micromax canvas 2 is far better than this one, and micromax company is lot better than spice. They say that spice phones dont last a year and are sometimes needed to get repaired every 2 months although same is true for micromax also but they insist i should go for micromax. I m totally confused whom to believe. Please tell me how is this phone and spice company. Does it have any better features than micromax a110 canvas2 coz my frnds say mmx canvas2 have lot more features than this one. Plz help i want to buy a good phone that can last 1.5 yr atleast without need for repair and with lots of features. As i m not a billionaire so cant afford more than 15000. My parents would never buy me a phone again if it goes hell before 1-2 yrs. plz help me choosing a good phone. Thanks

  • guys, can anyone tell me if thi sphone has both sim active (i.e. while on call on one sim other call to other sim comes as busy) like samsung Or does it comes as switch off (only 1 sim active)

  • Can someone please post the quadrant bench mark result spice Mi-530 Stellar Pinnacle please ?

  • Can someone please post the quadrant bench mark result of spice Mi-530 Stellar Pinnacle ?

  • Hey , I charged the mobile today morning, 99% on charge, Used music for close to 1.5 hrs, 3G ON for 6.5 Hrs, including browsing, chatting. 20-30 mins of games, 30 mins on Call, I reach back home, and connect the charger to check and it started to Charge from 40%. In short the Battery is powerful enough, Although I noticed one thing, not sure if its cos of me moving from Samsung to Spice!.. when iam trying to multitouch and bring all screens Iam failing. So not sure if its something different Iam doing. Is anyone else facing this issue?.. Or is this phone not Multitouch?

  • amit khurana, plz tell about its battery performance, i mean how battery performs in music, internet usage, call time etc. Plz share with us

  • Hey Ppl, Just bought the phone yesterday, The Camera though 8MP looks less than that.. not that clear, lil pixelated or cloudy. Front Camera is good enough, and is better. UI is smooth, no lags noticed, Comes with preloaded Antivirus, which is a Premium paid one!. So good Enough. Loaded few games, and no Lags whatsoever. The headphones are mediocre, its not a in-ear one, I had a Samsung i9003 earlier, used the headphones of that and works superb. Let me know if any additional details are required.

  • Gazab!!! Excellent experience of this phone with amazing features. Front Camera quality in Video chat is chat is fabulous.. Finally I found dream phone in less amount.

  • could someone post sample pics taken from the cam of this mobile pls???

  • Check This ­

  • Okay thanks !

  • Good work Bala and a very nice review.

  • As i told u before im not a techie..so cant comment in stuffs like HTML5 and framerate. But wat i can tell you here is the camera is not that great especially if u have a nervous hand. to get good picture u need to be more steady and focus needs attention. I currently have iphone 3gs which has only 3MP. The image clarity with my 3MP camera and 8MP camera of stellar is more or less same. One advantage is that stellar phone has a LED flash which my iphone 3gs didnt have so night mode will be good.

  • Hey fanofkimi, can you tell me if it supports HTML 5 Browsers and what is the framerate of the highest quality of video recording. And do photos get blurred by even a slight movement ?

  • Final conclusion and no more review. Have combined all my review and posted as one. Ad few More points Hurray!! Got the mobile a hour back. Have loaded a loads of App. Here is my review. Color : Brown only( looks charming than black. i like it) RAM Available : 980 MB (very good) Internal storage : 765 MB +12.45 GB External : 59.4GB ( 64 GB card Installed. you have formatted it to fat32) - wonderful. It support 64 gb and smooth CPU : Mediatek (MT6577 1.2 Ghz, ARM V.7a Processor) bit disappointing Pixel density : Says 240dpi as per my App ( running Android System info. app) Sensors : All sensors by Capella Review : one word ( very good ) ( Not excellent - ok) Unbelievable touch screen quality and build as well - Excellent Active sync: Works flawless and my offcial mails looks really excellent As mentioned all the functions works great. 3G working Great. Though it is Mediatek process i don't see different in function very smooth and very goo response. I've played close to 3 HD game and works very smoothly. ( though graphic is not on par to my Moto photon 4G) I've played both 720P & 1080 P Videos and played flawlessly. very smooth. NO LAGS IN CAMERA - Some one mentioned theat there is a lag in camera in the forum. one touch and works ( quickly) Pic quality is good in both cameras ( rating good - not average). Transfer the pics to Desktop and check it is really good. In mobile it looks cheap. I'm yet to do the benchmarkling test. Regarding display quality Average. Brighness is good grapic is ok. I won't say bad. Still not asa good as Moto or samsung. For 14 K this is a wonderful package. Audio quality is not on par. listened to some sons with my Shure ear phones but still the punch is missing. This can not be a Music phone for you. ( Note: Rooted and installed Beats, SRS and Dolby - Now sound quality is really good) SAR value : This is very important A SAR value is a measure of the maximum energy absorbed by a unit of mass of exposed tissue of a person using a mobile phone, over a given time or more simply the power absorbed per unit mass. SAR values are usually expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg) in either 1g or 10g of tissue. United States: the FCC requires that phones sold have a SAR level at or below 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg) European Union: CENELEC specify SAR limits within the EU, following IEC standards. For mobile phones, and other such hand-held devices, the SAR limit is 2 W/kg SAR values for Spice phones as below ( for MI 530 Not know yet, but seems to be with in range) Spice M-I280 1.61 Spice M-I300 1.79 Spice M-I350 1.62 Spice M-I425 1.72 Not able to post the vid today. will upload it before noon tomorrow. Also some more points to share Bluetooth : Very very good. Paired with my Car Audio and phone and both works flawlessness. Audio Jack is a Jack!!!. Some of my ear phone(3.5 mm) does not fitin properly. Pixel rate is 208 dpi only as some of the graphics are not on par. process is good. You don't need to spend time in rooting this phone as there is an option in settings itself ( One click). But the big flaw that i am able to see is i am not able to boot in to recovery Mode easily, had to press the button heavily and also after getting in to recovery Mode not able to select any option. Basically it should be power button To used to select an option. Not working. You should definitely use the pouch given or else the camera with get scratch very easily. OTG works great,checked with pen drive and external hard disk 1 TB which is excellent. Also Checked the phone with full battery till dry test with 3G, phone, exchange mail,3D game, browsing, wifi, text message, 5 Hours Music with bluetooth and small videos. All together it withstood for around 8. 5 Hours. if only you use phone then it will work for around 7-8 hours for sure. Music can go up to 10 hours. seems ok for 5.3 inch mobile. Final Notes : After 4 days and too many experiments i can confidently say Now that i have made a right choice. for the money i've invested i can not find a better phone than this mobile. Buy this mobile without any expectations and it will give you full of positive surprises when you get to use it. Display : Never compare any brand with Samsung, Sony, LG (all those are more than 25 K. so it has a better display) Notes to SPICE: Now you are playing the game. Without disappointing us please release a Quad core processor with 2 GB RAM and no one can beat you in India market. You can consider MI-530 as your Success. Note: I am not a spice favoerer or not trying to support. My review is gunuine and all the above are just my opinion

  • just got the phone. installing few apps. will update you later. sar : 1.254 w/kg. display and touch is fabulous in 14k. more than value for money

  • 1) Too early to comment man. I got the mobile with 30% charge yesterday. Now it has come to 8%. wanted to drain it fully before charging. I guess battery backup should be descent considering 5.3 inch screen. 2) In Bangalore there are 2 major service centers. regarding the quality of service, i dont know. 3) No idea about the accessories. The box includes charger, lather case, usb to pc cable, quick transfer cable, screen guard and headset. 4. I saw samsung grand duos yesterday before buying this phone. somehow im convinced that pinnacle is much better product for its price. U decide wat u want to buy. I usually take risk n hence opted for spice. If you are not such type, dont bother buying spice as it may be a wrong choice to u.

  • Hi Guys.... I have bought this phone 2 days back... This phone is far better than Micromax canvas 2... This phone has got awesome touch sense, colours, and gaming experience is good... can play HD videos without any problem and has battery back of 2 day on normal use (2550 mAH)... I would say this is the best phone made by any indian company... until Micromax canvas HD comes into picture. If you are worried upon Brandname of SPICE... need not to worry because IDEA has acquired SPICE and is no more any small company.

  • Hi fanofkimi thanks for the review. Please clarify the following things: 1) What about the battery life? 2) How about the service and service centers? 3) What about availability of accessories like battery, handsfree etc? 4) I want to purchase a phone, dunno whether to go to samsung galaxy s duos or mmx canvas 2 hd or spice stellar pinnacle mi-530. Kindly advice.

  • As informed earlier, here are my reviews about the spice stellar pinnacle phone. Please keep in mind that these reviews are purely based on my personal experience and i am not in-favor or against any body. Again i am not a techie, so wont touch too much on specs/numbers!!!! 1. Overall, This phone is a beauty. super value for money. 2. If your are a display lover(high clarity) then this is not the phone for you. Never compare this phone with Amoled phones. Its not even close. But i would personally rate this display as 8 out of 10. 3. Touch feel and sensitivity is amazing. Simply mind blowing. super smooth. I have still not loaded too much apps. so as of now there is absolutely no lag even while multi tasking. 4. Both cameras are pretty descent. But when you zoom an object, clarity reduces. I am yet to transfer the files to my pc. so currently cant comment more about the picture clarity. The spice service guys informed me that the clarity of the photo is amazing when transferred to PC(unless i see this personally i wont believe) 5. Spice shop guy has installed a media player(forgot the name) and the videos are terrific. especially the HD ones are awesome to watch. Again NO LAG. 6. Highlight of this phone is the speed at which the pages open via my wifi. Wifi is very fast. Youtube videos load smoothly. 7. Pop up play feature is lovely to work with. This is something which is unique for this phone. 8. All buttons are quite responsive and i haven't faced any issue till not. 9. One great plus point is that the back cover need not be removed to put the leather flap cover. This leather flap cover can be fitted directly to the back side of the phone which means double protection in case of fall. 10. This phone comes with a antivirus software which can be updated immediately over the internet. looks good so far. 11. I have made few calls using this phone and voice clarity seems to be really good. Infact i feel this noise suppression seem to work properly. Apart from this, if any of you wanted to know something specific, pl let me know so that i am happy help. I know how eager you guys are waiting to know more about this device.

But the big flaw that i am able to see is i am not able to boot in to recovery Mode easily, had to press the button heavily and also after getting in to recovery Mode not able to select any option. Basically it should be power button To used to select an option. Not working. You should definitely use the pouch given or else the camera with get scratch very easily. OTG works great,checked with pen drive and external hard disk 1 TB which is excellent. Also Checked the phone with full battery till dry test with 3G, phone, exchange mail,3D game, browsing, wifi, text message, 5 Hours Music with bluetooth and small videos. All together it withstood for around 8. 5 Hours. if only you use phone then it will work for around 7-8 hours for sure. Music can go up to 10 hours. seems ok for 5.3 inch mobile. See you All with youtube link . please keep post your opinion on my review.

  • SAR value : This is very important A SAR value is a measure of the maximum energy absorbed by a unit of mass of exposed tissue of a person using a mobile phone, over a given time or more simply the power absorbed per unit mass. SAR values are usually expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg) in either 1g or 10g of tissue. United States: the FCC requires that phones sold have a SAR level at or below 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg) European Union: CENELEC specify SAR limits within the EU, following IEC standards. For mobile phones, and other such hand-held devices, the SAR limit is 2 W/kg SAR values for Spice phones as below ( for MI 530 Not know yet, but seems to be with in range) Spice M-I280 1.61 Spice M-I300 1.79 Spice M-I350 1.62 Spice M-I425 1.72

  • Hay bala it would be really helpful if you tell the battery backup, I know that it is 4.2h given as standard but how much it will last for a daily normal use. The actual performance of battery !!!

  • Thanx Bala for your valuable review i will wait for your video post on youtube kindly inform here for your posting on youtube. Please also tell me about display if we can work on it in sunlight,build quality and stylus functionality if it have or not being a phablet. thanx :) and you are star of today because its the first detailed review about this phone all over the internet. thanx again god bless u

  • Audio quality is not on par. listened to some sons with my Shure ear phones but still the punch is missing. This can not be a Music phone for you.

  • Regarding display quality Average. Brighness is good grapic is ok. I won't say bad. Still not asa good as Moto or samsung. For 14 K this is a wonderful package.

  • Hurray!! Got the mobile a hour back. Have loaded a loads of App. Here is my review. Color : Brown only( looks charming than black. i like it) RAM Available : 980 MB (very good) Internal storage : 765 MB +12.45 GB External : 59.4GB ( 64 GB card Installed. you have formatted it to fat32) - wonderful. It support 64 gb and smooth CPU : Mediatek (MT6577 1.2 Ghz, ARM V.7a Processor) bit disappointing Pixel density : Says 240dpi as per my App ( running Android System info. app) Sensors : All sensors by Capella Review : one word ( very good ) ( Not excellent - ok) Unbelievable touch screen quality and build as well - Excellent Active sync: Works flawless and my offcial mails looks really excellent As mentioned all the functions works great. 3G working Great. Though it is Mediatek process i don't see different in function very smooth and very goo response. I've played close to 3 HD game and works very smoothly. ( though graphic is not on par to my Moto photon 4G) I've played both 720P & 1080 P Videos and played flawlessly. very smooth. NO LAGS IN CAMERA as mentioned by other friend in the forum. one touch and works ( quickly) Pic quality is ok on both cameras ( rating good - not average) I'm yet to do the benchmarkling test and will upload the videos soons in youtube. Conclusion : you can sure buy this phone. My works are ordering it today after seeing this. Note: I am not a spice favoerer or not trying to support. My review is gunuine and all the above are just my opinion

  • please give me full review with benchmark etc.......

  • Dear Spice, Please no more fool the people..... Please try to introduce thhe phone like JIAYU JY-G3/G4, UMI X2 if you really want to giv tough competetion to MMX 110/116, Kabronn TITANIUM.... I think you are well aware that after a months Chines New year fininshed then really MMX 116 and other SMSNG product will rock and your this PINACLE... will be outdated and again like other SPICE prduct you have to sell the same PINNACLE below 9000 JIAYU JY-G3: MTK6577 Dual Core 1.0GHz 4.5 Inch IPS Retina Screen Android 4.0 1G RAM 8.0MP Camera Smart Phone UMI X2 and MMX A116 is approx the same product dont know the deal of MMX with GEIONEE telecom is overed or not... Its right time you GUY pls introduce what market demand not what your foolish people say...

  • Today I will be receiving the Mobile by 3 PM IST. I bought a 64 GB sandisk Memory card. Formatted with guiformat app and now i am able to used the card in My Motorola Photon 4G. Hope it will work in Spice Mi-530 also. Will post comment on spec by 5 PM today and a detailed review in youtube by tomorrow EOD adn will post the lisk here. :)

  • Hey @Vineet. Please check if it supports html 5. And video recording frame rate.

  • Dear @ nilesh i think only the mobile service provider spice which had license of circle Punjab and Karnataka was taken over by idea group and renamed with idea too after taking over,But mobile devices about which you are talking is still part of modi group and still have name spice.I think mobile devices business is still in hand of spice brand and which is not idea subsidiary. :) Thanx

  • kindly show us full detail about cpu ram and all the sensors if possible kindly show the antutu benchmark result too

  • this phone : "value for money" got it today .... "awesome"

  • My personal opinion will go for SPICE as already well known company in India and exists even before the MMX, Karbonn and Lava. SPICE is now owned by Idea Cellular so, donnt have to tell special about it as Idea itself is a giant company in India. Im saying this only because of the after cell service. Before Idea venture, SPICE was mobile service provider company and still it is with enhanced portfolio. Also, order spice phones mostly from saholic.com as its a SPICE company only. Better for Authentic/Original handset and proper service. I've myself ordered Virtuso today as Im not a great fan of 5'' screen, want a big screen but should be comfortable in hand to hold, so, 4/4.5 good enough.

Does anyone has answer for it??? Video Link :

  • Thanks in advance , Will wait for your review...If possible do compare it with A110 as I had already sold my A110 in anticipation to buy A116 but its delayed & just waiting for reviews from friends like you to finalise my decision for mi530...Also post about gaming experience , touch interface & quadrant scores...Coz as per my knowledge its cpu & gpu are same as A110 but resolution is higher so it may not be as smooth as A110...this is just my thinking , will wait for your suggestions.

  • Guys i've ordered this phone yesterday in saholic and it is on the way to get delivered by tomorrow by 3-4 PM. I've also ordered a 64 GB memory card through Ebay.in and i have just received it. After a lot of R&D i ordered this phone. Will post a detailed review on coming Saturday with video on youtube and comments on this page.

  • Please update the quadrant and Nina benchmark scores. Or is there any link were the above scores are updated. When will the device be available in Banagalore?

  • pls clarify how is the primary camera performance and display?

  • dual core cortex a9 is more powerful dn quad core cortex a7 btw this phone can run 1080p @30fps...now wat d use of quadcore here wich u r getting in dual core ?? in dis phone u r getting BT4.0, both sim supports 3g, 5.3inch display, 16gb intrnl, 5mp front camera, 2550mah batry mmx a116 is using quad core just for fame..der is nothing spcl in it

  • Quadrant scores??? UI??? Weight???Touch Feel???...Its cons & Prons and also if anyone can post a real video review it wiold be of great help.

  • Well... 15fps is quite disappointing. Bad !

  • Bro video recording resolution is 1080p i.e. 1920*1080 at 15fps (confirmed) and html5 is supported (i guess).

  • Ya I saw. Thanks for informing. No wonder Chinese new year affected them. Actually affected them directly.

  • Hey guys, I checked the official specs here www.spicestellar.com and it's perfect for me but two specs which matters to me the most are not mentioned. Video recording resolution and HTML5 support. From this powerful processor I expect the video resolution to be atleast 720p @30fps. Please help me to know if it supports HTML 5. Very important !

  • Guys, who have bought this phone please tell me complete review. Like benchmark scores, phone heating problem if any, gps, camera, 3G review. I want to buy this one or MMX A116 but not able to decide. A 116 is delayed due to chinese new year bash!

  • If you can provide us with quadrant benchmark scores and also is it in black color or brown color coz on saholic its mentioned as brown so little confused as i also cant find much of its videos on youtube.

  • Hey mmx has never provided any updates, and they never keep their promises in terms of services. While spice if ahead of them in this. Also regarding performance, mmx quad core (cortex a7) will provide no significantly better performance than spice dual core (cortex a9). In terms of user interface, spice has worked hard over this and integrated features those are present in Gs3 (pop up play, intelligent answer, boot acceleration, etc) Also spice is providing loads of freebies out of the box, flap cover (hard to find), screen guard, OTG cable. So better go for spice, as its cheaper too, its services are amazing, far ahead of micromax.

  • hi guys, mmx a116 is copy of chinese qmobile a16

  • what aboute camera quality??becose spice stellar mi355 camera is in flsah mode shoot is bluest photo.

  • HANDS ON

  • R U sure that, 2250mah battery provides only 4h 12 mins backup

  • guys dis fon is best compare to mmx A116 and others company's dis fon will rock in future

  • I think difference is not much...Pinnacle is 5.3" vs 5" for A116...Also Pinnacle comes with 16GB inbuilt Vs 4GB in A116. Look wise also i think Pinnacle is eyecaching...Only diff is qualcore & Resolution...But MMX already fooled many by commiting launch dates of 1st week of Feb and then delaying giving excuse of chinese new year. So now cant trust MMX for the commited launch dates anymore & also cant wait whole month so as for current market scenario I think pinnacle would be good choice as A116 launch is delayed by a month

  • I think wait for Micromax Canvas HD Spice Mi-530 Stellar Pinnacle (SPECS) Spice Mi 530 - 152 x 79 x 10.3 mm 540 x 960pixel 5.3 inch qHD IPS 16 GB storage, 1 GB RAM ICS upgrade to Jelly Bean 4.1 Dual-core 1.2 GHz unknown CPU & GPU 1080HD Playback - 1080p full HD video recording @15fps 2550 mAh 4 hours 12 minutes @ 2g it's too bad VS Micromax A116 Canvas HD (SPECS) 1** x ** x 10.7 mm 720 x 1280 pixels, HD IPS LCD 5.0inches 294 ppi 4 GB storage, 1 GB RAM Jelly Bean 4.1.2 upgrade to 4.2 Quad core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 Mediatek 6589 CPU GPU PowerVR Series5XT 2100 mAh 5 hours I think Canvas HD is better than stellar pinnacle

  • specification seems good considering the price.....

  • I brought the phone buddy, u missing the point. I have phone using it and checked it in itself. n the things im posting are accurate.

  • CPU is A15 1.2 GHZ and GPU is Powervr SGX 531 same as Mali-400 Ram is 1GB. 980MB given and more then 560MB is always free. here the hone is listed with 208 PPI but actually it have 240 PPI. Display is smooth but colors are little bit dull from Samsung and Sony but as per 14k price i rate it more then gud enough.

  • pixel density is calculated as ((540*540)+(960*960))/5.3 which comes out to be 208. So its ppi is 208 not 240. By the way you sure of gpu, may i know from where you confirmed this information?

  • @ Sumit , please do let me know about its CPU & GPU...I am really confused between A116 & Pinnacle...If possible do post some of its cons & prons to help me decide & go for this...At first look in video its just looking irrestable.

  • Btw its 240 PPI not 208. they should correct it. and it have GPU of powesgx 531

  • I brought it from HotSpot and its worth of 14000. superb with 980mb usable ram with free more then 600mb Price is 14000 on HotSpot also on ebay.in. More then great from Micromnax intaa(Brick) head breaker.

  • 2500mah battery!!! it should last at least 2 days with such specs. though 5mp front camera is of no use... but as usual jb update is surely expected from spice. Good work spice, this set will surely rock

  • 5 mp secondary front camera? price?

  • Dual core, same as Micromax A110. IPS TFT, qHD

  • which cpu what gpu ? display tft ? ips ?

  • nice fone 1.2ghz dual core cpu,1gb ram,8mp main and 5mp camera front,2550 mah battery,price 13900

  • When it reach in Puducherry?

  • Hi, GSM ARENA plz review this phone as soon as posioable.

  • Request gsmarena team to quickly post the review of this phone on the site as it looks great phone from specs perspective & price suggested in india... Thanks!

  • Request gsmarena to quickly post review of this phone as i think this is going to be a hit in india with specs it has in price range kept... thanks

  • The phone looks stunning!! Anybody has any idea what CPU this is using. In spice's website (www.spicestellar.com) it says A9 1.2 Ghz Dual core processor, But who is the manufacturer of this CPU??
