Display
This smartphone presents a resolution of 320x480 pixels. The display size provided by the phone may not work in your favour as much as a slightly bigger screen. The Celkon A58 Smart Phone flaunts a display of 10.16 cms; approximately 4 inches.Battery
The standard Li-Ion battery is featured in this device.Camera
Though it's taken over by the latest entrants, yet the Celkon A58 Smart Phone does feature a 0.3 MP front camera; but it is meaningless spending money on a feature that might be inconsequential to you. The kind of pictures and videos your camera produces does not depend only on megapixels. You have the flexibility to get surprisingly good results even with a Yes, 2 megapixels camera when the sensor is of good quality.General Features

You have the flexibility to easily amp up the internal storage of your device as it displays compatibility with the microSD memory cards.Performance
The typical operating system android makes sure the latest apps and trends are available to you. If you value your phone's battery life more than speed, then processors with high frequencies and more than one cores may not be the ideal option for you, even though they are the trend today. So, if you don't use your phone to handle many things at once, and would like to just use 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 are able to maximize your phone's battery life to last the whole day and in a like manner prevent it from heating up, by using one app at a time, or completing one task before going on to another. Equipped with a 1 GHz processor frequency, the Celkon A58 Smart Phone bids a power packed performance. The higher the frequency, the faster the response, thus resulting in better performance. Most of the popular apps today would run smoothly with the speed offered by the 1 GHz processor frequency. The Android v4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) operating system is responsible for the pleasurable performance of this device.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 A58 Smart Phone 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 A58 Smart Phone, 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 A58 Smart Phone 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 inches display is the first thing I noticed in the Celkon A58 Smart Phone. I love texting and all my friends too prefer texting over talking, so I find the screen size of the Celkon A58 Smart Phone very cramped. Yes, 2 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. I always forget charging my phone so USB charging via my laptop is really a good option for me and sometimes I even use this port to transfer music and images. The internal storage in the Celkon A58 Smart Phone is quite stingy with the tiny 0.256 GB. I don't know what it is good for when it can hardly hold any of my media files.
