Micromax is known for launching affordable devices. This time too, it
has launched a sub Rs.5,000 dual-SIM Android device - A50 Superfone
Ninja. The differentiating factor for this handset is that it comes with
Siri-like voice assistant dubbed "AISHA", which stands for Artificial
Intelligence Speech Handset Assistant. Here's our take on this device.
Hardware/ Looks
Micromax A50 Superfone Ninja is not one of the best looking Android handsets around but this all white handset with glossy finish may find acceptance amongst its target group - the budget conscious buyers. Though we are not too fond of the glossy finish, we still feel that its clean looks give it a slight edge.
Most of the front of the smartphone is taken up by the 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen and three protruding physical Android buttons - menu, home and back. The top panel houses the 3.5 mm jack and power button, while the left panel has a charging/Micro-USB port and volume rocker. The back panel has a 2.0 MP camera and the loudspeaker.
Overall, the build quality of the smartphone is just-ok.
Display
Micromax A50 comes with 3.1-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with 240x320p resolution and we found the display quality to be sub-par. The viewing angles are poor and under-sunlight visibility is minimal.
Camera
Another downside for this handset is its camera. Micromax A50 comes with a 2 MP camera on board. The image quality was tad bit grainy even if the shots were taken in good light conditions.
The camera app on the smartphone has decent feature set and includes options to alter white balance, picture quality, and colour effects. A50 also comes something called burst shot that was recently seen in high-end Android smartphones like HTC One X and Lava XOLO X900.
The camera offers an option to click 4 or 8 images in burst shots, which worked as expected although it is a tad slow. There is no front camera in this smartphone.
AISHA
The highlight of this handset is clearly its voice assistant AISHA. This is first budget handset that has made an attempt to provide an interactive speech recognition application. In our testing, we found that AISHA was able to deliver a good performance. It seemed more accustomed to understanding the Indian accent than Apple's SIRI.
Verdict
If you're looking for an Android smartphone on a budget, the Micromax A50 Ninja offers you something different in terms of AISHA, which works rather well.
