Fun and Games

There is an F1 race mobile game available that you can play to entertain yourself when you get bored. This game reminded me of the video game I owned as a child.

Messages

Camera

This option allows you to click pictures and record videos. You can check the clicked images under Images. One exciting feature under the camera setting is a Delay timer, where you can keep this Off or delay it for 5, 10 or 15 sec. However, a selfie camera feature is missing here. You will also find an option as an Image setting where you can leave the image quality to its low, normal or good quality. You also have the option to change the image size to 240*320.

Display

We get the display in two variants, 1.8 and 2.4 inches, with 2.5D PMMA Cover Glass, priced at Rs2490 and Rs1990, respectively. It is pretty tough and ready for rough daily usage.

Sound

The sound is loud and very clear; I am sure you would love to listen to these old melodies if you are a music lover. You can listen to music with the help of an Earphone jack, FM (wireless) and Bluetooth.

LED Torch

With a push button on the right side of the mobile, you get the bright light and light up things around you.

The 2500mAh battery is durable enough to keep you entertained for almost one week on a one-time charge. You can listen to music on the go and talk to your loved ones unlimitedly. It comes loaded with a MediaTek processor, which offers superfast processing power and a matchless user experience. However, it would have been nice if Saregama had offered a fast charger instead of the regular charger.
