The Micromax A89 Ninja come to the fore and the smartphone has crept into various online shopping thresholds, with a price and all. The dual SIM handset’s forthcoming launch had earlier been hinted at, but its retail value which was missing at that time has been made evident now.
With a 3.97-inch TFT multi-touch display possessing a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, the A89 Ninja may not be considered a high-end device, but it could fall in the wish list of those on the lookout for their first smartphone. The preloaded Ice Cream Sandwich OS and the tag attached to the handset should make it worthy enough to compete with the likes of the Spice Stellar Nhance Mi-345, Huawei Ascend G330 and G600.
The embedded 3MP main camera which stands to be the only medium of clicking pictures and recording videos, comes wrapped with features such as fixed focus and a multi-shot mode. A dual core processor together with 512MB of RAM has been included and these toil towards the phone’s performance.
The company offers merely 2GB of internal storage capacity for users’ hoarding needs. However, it has tried to compensate on this aspect by incorporating an expansion slot which can support a microSD card of up to 32GB. With the help of the integrated 1,450mAh battery, those on 2G should apparently be able to derive up to 4 hours of talk time and roughly 170 hours of standby.
It is a given that users will find WLAN and 3G for web browsing, though the Wi-Fi standard compatibility hasn’t been specified. Apart from these, there will be other connectivity features such as Bluetooth 2.1 and GPS. The phone will possess a gravity sensor and hit stores loaded with apps like Hook Up, M! Live, M! Store and so on.
The Micromax A89 Ninja can be purchased at a cost of Rs. 6,190 from Infibeam and Flipkart. Both e-retailers have mentioned that the device is currently out of stock. Those who cannot wait until the handset descends into the aforementioned stores should be able to buy it through eBay at a slightly escalated amount.
