Micromax X259 Mobile Review

Micromax X259 is a mobile handset that comes with built in solar panel and considered to be the first solar phonefrom Micromax. If you’re also among those have got bugged off from weak phone battery then the new Micromax X259 might come handy.

Design

Micromax X259 mobile handset cannot be called an attractive construction but consider its price tag and you won’t demand any add-ons from the phone. The phone is a rugged greyish solid creation which comes in a bar- shape design.

The phone comes with 118mm x 50mm x 16mm dimensions which makes it reasonably bulky in comparison tolatest phones in the market. The phone sports 2.4 inch QVGA screen which comes with the screen resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.

The phone is packed with 1000mAh Lithium ion battery inside the hood which can give you talk time of up to 4.5 hours and can give the standby time of more than 200 hours.

Performance

Micromax X259 mobile comes with dual SIM Support which lets you use both the SIM at the same time as it works with dual SIM standby.

One of the notable features of this phone is the inclusion of solar panel which makes use of solar power to charge the battery. The solar panel fitted in the phone lets the user charge the phone by exposing it directly to the sunlight.

The handset can be considered highly usable in the rural parts of India which undergo frequent power cuts. Though there are negative implications as well for the phone charging as the phone has to be kept under weather vulnerability and also when you aren’t going out, or you are indoors for the whole day, you will have to leave your phone in sun for charging.

Features

Counting on the features, Micromax X259 mobile isn’t alluring enough to appeal you. Except for the Solar panelwhich brings a “go-green” approach, there’s nothing called ‘wow’ factor that compels you to buy this phone.

The phone is integrated with VGA Camera which is fitted at the back and also enables you to listen to FM as it comes with FM Radio. So when you are out on a trip, you can plug in your headphone in the audio jack and listen to your favorite FM program.

The phone also lets you make use GPRS for accessing web at decent browsing speed. There are Mi-Zone and Mi-Store for letting you access additional multimedia content. For wireless data transfer, you can connect your device with Bluetooth for speedy transfer.
