You get IPS boasts of in this phone along with the at par ones, enabling fine usability. The Celkon A225 flaunts a display of 11.94 cms; approximately 4.7 inches. A resolution of 480x853 pixels is provided by this smartphone. You needn't worry about straining your eyes as the screen size is not too small.Battery
Camera
The kind of pictures and videos your camera produces does not depend only on megapixels. Based on the sensor quality and the smartphone's other applications; you can get surprisingly good photography results even with a Yes, 8 megapixels camera. Though it's taken over by the latest entrants, yet the Celkon A225 does feature a Yes, 2 MP front camera; but it is meaningless spending money on a feature that might be of no real worth to you.General Features

You get standard accessories such as Headset, Handset, USB Cable with Charger, User Manual, Battery, Warranty Card in the box, in addition to the Celkon A225.Connectivity
This phone comes with a Dual Sim, GSM, GSM.Memory
Only basic utilities have the flexibility to be satisfied with such a low internal memory. The Celkon A225 is absolutely compatible with the microSD, which have the flexibility to help you boost the internal storage of the device. Stay off graphic intensive games and applications and the lower internal RAM of this smartphone will suffice. The expandable memory of 32 GB is all available for stick with as against the cramped internal storage which already has space allocated to default apps and other programs; now you can carry your entertainment in your pocket.Performance
The Android v4.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system is responsible for the pleasurable performance of this device. Equipped with a 1 GHz processor frequency, the Celkon A225 bids a power packed performance. A lower frequency would mean the device would sustain longer to respond, so for a smoother performance, a higher frequency would be ideal. The Celkon A225 can meet the speed requirements of most of the typical apps without any trouble. This Celkon A225 possesses a platform that performs at a frequency of GSM - 900, 1800 GHz. If you value your phone's battery life more than speed, then processors with high frequencies and multiple cores may not be the optimal option for you, even though they are the trend today. So, if you don't stick with your phone to take care of many things at once, and would like to just stick with one task or function at a time, then this smartphone, which serves you with Dual Core processor, would be just the phone for you. You can avoid heating up your phone from over-usage and further save on its energy throughout the day by not overloading it with too many running apps, and completing just one task at a time. The typical operating system android makes sure the latest apps and trends are available to you.Mr. Ajmera's Review (A business user)
No point fidgeting with a screen that poses real difficulty both while watching videos and typing on the cramped keyboard, the portability that is offered by the smaller screen seems futile against the little value it offers with respect to functionality.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The size of the Celkon A225 makes it extremely portable, but with its tiny and cramped keypad it's really not of much use to me. I don't like the camera in particular, and I won't be buying the Celkon A225, however good the other features might be. Smartphones with larger memory is always preferred by me; this phone can't even hold images and videos which I save in a single week. The expandable memory of the Celkon A225 is a good option for me as against the high priced smartphones which come with high internal memory.Ishan's Review (A geek)
Although the display looks great, the tiny screen size is too awkward to please the gamer or the ardent bookworm in me. Well, the frequency never bothered me so much with reading, but gaming on this 1 GHz device is a nightmare. Well, gaming on dual core is really bad with numerous hang-ups and extremely slow app load time. I wouldn't recommend such a low RAM even for the most amateur gamer; in fact for anyone. No clue what's the point of storage which can't even make enough room for my apps, leave alone my books and games. Even if your smartphone offers good amount of internal storage, extendable memory never hurts and is good to know that there's room left if you need.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
For me the 4.7 inches display is the first thing I noticed in the Celkon A225. I love texting and all my friends too prefer texting over talking, so I find the screen size of the Celkon A225 very cramped. Yes, 8 MP is not that great camera resolution. There are so many smartphones with better megapixels sometimes even cheaper than this phone. I love clicking pictures with my smartphone and this one doesn't seem up for it. I can't imagine my smartphone without the secondary camera. I and my friends simply love the selfies and groupies and click hundreds of them. It's too much effort to do it with the main camera, so having a cool front camera is much better; it is more fun to have front camera with higher megapixels. The internal storage in the Celkon A225 is quite stingy with the tiny 4 GB. I don't know what it is good for when it can hardly hold any of my media files.
