Five Reasons to Go For the All New Spice Mi-425


The response to my last post on the Spice Mi-425 was humongous, people seem to be pretty curious about the handset, but there are people who are skeptical too. There are more than few people who asked me the same question – why should we go for the said handset when we can buy a Samsung or a Nokia handset with couple of thousand bucks more? And they are real queries, you are paying your hard earned money for the handset, you got to be sure enough. This article will give you five reasons to go for the Spice Mi-425.

1.     The most conspicuous and paramount reason is the bright and color rich 4 inch screen of the handset, which happens to be a TFT LCD one with a resolution of 800x480p. The screen supports more than 262k colors. When I first held the handset in my hand I was enchanted for a moment or two.
2.    The second thing that goes in the favor of the Spice Mi-425 is the 1GHz processor, which is not just 1GHz for the name’s sake it functions like one. Fast.
3.    Third thing is the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, which in itself  is a very good operating system and the added advantage is the proposed ICS upgrade. No need to mention that the ICS is the latest and the best Android OS till date.
4.     The fourth thing that makes the Mi-425 special is the marathon 2000 mAh battery. The battery in the handset is better than the Nokia Lumia series and many of the Galaxy series handset as well.

5.     The 5MP rear camera is a boon for the image lover. In the last post, I did give a little bit of demonstration of the camera proficiencies of the handset; no need to say that were above the expectation level, you can see that yourself.
Hey folks,  are you guys in agreement with me or not let me know through your comments.

    2. It has a 245 MHz GPU,the processor is a single core one. And the reply of the final question of your's, yes it will let you use the audio,video, or the text version of Skype without any type of difficulties.
      PS: be rest assured about the ICS upgrade, it's definite.

    4. hi arindam, Mi-425 has 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM (enough to run the OS smoothly) and 140 MB user available memory. The performance of the phone is really good even when you stream videos or play games. The only issue is, the phone asks you to insert a memory card, when you use the camera.

    1. With new software released to service center internal memory has been increased upto 164 MB.

      For apps - maximum apps from market including major downloaded games can be moved to SD easily, whereas for apps which are not movable, 164 MB internal memory is sufficient.

  14. I recently purchased this mobile. Specification wise it is a good dual sim smart phone. But it lacks two important features,
    1. Internal user Memory is low. No of active user APP is limited.many of the APP cannot be transfered to SD card
    2. Audio quality is poor. The speaker behind the phone get blocked when it is kept on the table due to this the ring tone is not audible.

  15. How to remove unwanted apps from spice mi 350n and 425

  16. It is not possible to uninstall preloaded apps from the phone. You can only do it by rooting the phone. Rooting is not advisable as it is a risky process. Also it voids warranty of the device.
