so can we assure that karbonn s5 is more reliable than MMX A116 and xolo 800.
becoz branded companies using the processor what karbonn uses..
as all other Chinese companies using mediatek processor?

      wewin, 29 Mar 2013I have a doubt, as i have brought this phone few days befor... moreBro.. there are 3 Series within Snapdragon S4 SoC series.. they are Snapdragon S4 Play, Snapdragon S4 Plus and Snapdragon S4 Pro. Almost all the latest Flagship Devices from Companies like Samsung and LG use Snapdragon 800 chipset. Snapdragon S4 Pro is used for high-ed devices which cost upward of Rs 25,000. Snapdragon S4 Plus is used for Upper-midrange phones priced between Rs 15,000-25,000. Snapdragon S4 Play is used in Lower-Mid and Lower-end Phones costing below Rs 15,000 by Companies like Sony, HTC, Samsung, LG, etc. Hence one should not compare phones on the basis on the name "Snapdragon S4", but should also consider which type of SoC of Snapdragon S4 series is used.

        Sourabh, 31 Mar 2013Its just amazing phone dude.. I mean how more do u expect w... moreJust wait for 1 more month, more quad-core phones based on MT6589 will be released in India which is a better and powerful SoC than the Snapdragon Play SoC used by Karbonn in this phone and Titanium S1.. checkout the comparison i have posted in this thread to get a better idea.. MT6589 based phones will give you bag-for-your-bucks. If you are in a hurry, checkout quad-core MT6589 based phones by Lava, Alcatel, BLU, Wicked Leak, iOcean, Jiayu, or wait till Q3 of 2013, you will get Sony phones based on MT6589.

Company like samsung,sony,htc sold their phones just by their brand value.how many people had done research b4 buying a phone in past year...they just went for a brand tag...nt the hardware they offered. But nw customer r getting smarter and dn't go for brand value but the better hardwares they r offering

                M nt saying that wp8 is better than android...yeah i accept that wp8 is still behind android in terms of apps and custumisation. I was just comparing l720 features to its copetitors....and undoubtly 720 blow out its competitor in features.every1 has their own choice if u like android then it's ok.go with droid.

                  As per your opinion if this processor is not poweerful then how some other mobile giants like samsung,sony,Htc manage to run with this processor??

                  If you have visited snapdragon site they will give u all smartphone name that used this processor..

                    AnonD-118603, 29 Mar 2013Yeah...if we ignore the no of apps then l720 is undoubtely... morei strongly oppose as windows cant compete with android.
                    As windows they are still giving its best effort to become number one as a matter of fact it is not even giving a good competition to android OS.
                    but considering both i can say blindly windows OS is best but still android leads the race forever.

                                currently available under 15k and l720 is about to hit store under 18k.l720 simply blow out all droids under 20k due to some unique feature like super sensitive touch(u can use phone even with gloves) and wireless charging that we've seen on nokia flagship devices(l920 and l820)...in adittition it comes with nfc,glonass,dual band wi-fi and last but nt least 6.7mp camera with car zeisus lens(car zeisus is the best lens) that will be best for low light photography.but window store has nt much apps and games comparing to androids. Nw considering android within ur budget mmx canvas a116 is good option but u can hardly find it under 16k due to huge popularity.although canvas hd official price is around 14k but dealers r charging upto 16k due to popularity and shortage of the stock.so u r unable to get canvas hd then u can pick up either lava xolo q800@12k or gionee dream d1@15.5k. Gionee dream d1 is way better than canvas hd,although trio(canvas hd,xolo q800 and dream d1) has same mt6589 powered hardware but there r a few differences in features.lets explore.... Gionee dream d1 sports hd super amoled plus display with corning gorilla glass2(scratch proof glass) that both(canvas hd and xolo q800) lack off. U can hardly find a smartphone with super amoled plus display under 25k b'coz its so costly.

                                        Comparing the SoC (Chipset) used in Karbonn S5/S1 Titanium (Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225Q) with Mediatek MT6589 (used in Micromax Canvas HD, etc.):-

                                        CPU:
                                        MSM8225Q - 1.2 GHz Quad-core ARM Cortex-A5

                                        MT6589 - PowerVR SGX 544 (clock-speed 300 MHz)

                                        Chipset Fabrication:
                                        MSM8225Q - 45nm
                                        MT6589 - 28nm

                                        Camera/Front Camera Suppot:
                                        MSM8225Q - upto 8MP / upto 1.3MP
                                        MT6589 - upto 13MP / upto 2MP

                                        Video Rec. Resolution:
                                        MSM8225Q - upto 720p (HD) @ 30fps
                                        MT6589 - 1080p (Full HD) @ 30fps

                                        Display Res. Support:
                                        MSM8225Q - upto 720p (HD)
                                        MT6589 - upto 1080p (Full HD)

                                        Network Support:

                                        MT6589 - GSM, GPRS, EDGE, HSPA+, TD-SCDMA.

                                        SIM Support:
                                        MSM8225Q - supports Dual Sim, Single-Active
                                        MT6589 - supports Dual-SIM, Dual-Active

                                        Connectivity Support:
                                        MSM8225Q - Wi-Fi 802.11n, BT 3.0, A-GPS, FM, Micro-USB 2.0
                                        MT6589 - Wi-Fi 802.11n, BT 4.0, A-GPS, FM, Micro-USB 2.0

                                        RAM:
                                        MSM8225Q - 1GB DDR2
                                        MT6589 - 1GB DDR3

                                        This clearly shows that MT6589 is more powerful chipset and out-performs MSM8225Q in various fields. This shows that Karbonn S1/S5 are not as powerful, when compared to phones based on MT6589 chipset. (Hope this Comparison helped).
