The brand mciromax is constantly introducing some new phone to the
different generations of users. It has introduced itself in the
android market as well with the release of the micromax A60. What new
thing has it brought for the music lovers M2 is the reply from
Micromax. So lets have a look is this phone for a true music lover or
will it disappoint another time as it did for the A60. So lets have a
detailed look at the micromax M2 and lets see what are the chances of
it being hit in the market.
Design
Lets have a look at the design of the phone the phone looks quite
sleek and also stylish. The body has the matte-gray finish, while the
keys and the battery cover are given the black finish. With the first
look the m2 does looks impressive. The buttons are also quite good,
let's have a look if there is any dedicated volume buttons for
controlling the volume and the answer is no. there is no separate
volume button in the phone and hence you will have to control the
volume from the music player itself. The camera and the speakers are
placed in the back of the phone. So overall the design of the phone is
quite simple and descent but the absence of the volume keys is a bad
thing.
Features
Now its time to test, what this phone has actually got in it. Firstly
lets test the memory any music lover would love to see the memory of
the phone as he/she would actually want to store as many music files
in it as possible. So lets see if this phone has that much memory. No,
the phone disappoints here the phone does not have a good memory. With
the absence of the expandable memory slot the phone fails heavily
here. It only has the limited internal memory of 2 GB. So the
limitation of the size is encountered here only. Lets see if the
interface of the music player is user friendly or not. Again the
micromax fails to impress here it does not have a good playlist
interface and hence it becomes increasingly difficult to search for
any song plus the absence of the volume key buttons does add to the
misery.
The positive side of the phone is the click wheel, let me tell you
that the click wheel is quite responsive much like all the buttons of
the phone. They all are quite responsive in nature. Doing a clock-wise
swipe on the click wheel will allow you to navigate the menu icons on
the right and on doing a anti-clockwise swipe will move the opposite.
So it proves very good especially during navigation. One more plus
point is that this phone is a dual sim phone with the hot-swappable
feature in which there is no need to remove the battery of the phone
while you are removing the sim card. The phone scores well here.
However if we want to remove the battery placing it back again is a
very tedious task as we have to follow the exact instructions that are
given in the manual.
