With the built-in Flash of this device you don't really compromise on the image quality, even in low light setting.

The quality of your images and videos does not rely solely on megapixels.

Though it's taken over by the latest entrants, yet the iBall Andi 4di does feature a Yes, 0.3 MP front camera; but no point spending money on a feature that might be of no real worth to you.General Features

A higher network type can lead to increased power consumption, and you need to reflect on this while making a decision.Memory
Avoid graphic intensive functions and a lower RAM should do you just fine, besides,it is a particularly pleasing battery saver. The expandable memory of 32 GB is all available for use as against the cramped internal storage which already has space allocated to default apps and other programs; now you are able to carry your entertainment in your pocket. Only basic utilities are able to be satisfied with such a low internal memory. The iBall Andi 4di is absolutely compatible with the microSD, which are able to help you boost the internal storage of the device.Performance
With a 1 GHz processor frequency, the iBall Andi 4di bids supreme performance. A lower frequency would mean the device would sustain longer to respond, so for a smoother performance, a higher frequency would be optimal.

This iBall Andi 4di is credited with a platform that performs at a frequency of GSM - 900, 1800; UMTS - 2100 GHz. This smartphoneruns on the Android v4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) operating system. This device features a Cortex-A9 platform processor. All the latest apps and trends will be available to you with the typical android operating system.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. Although I am not so much into file sharing via Bluetooth as I am more of an email guy, but it is quite essential for hands-free calling. I am constantly on the move, even if most of the travel routes are familiar, the GPS navigation in the iBall Andi 4di is quite reliable and reassuring.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The size of the iBall Andi 4di 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 iBall Andi 4di, 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 iBall Andi 4di 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. 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 iBall Andi 4di. I love texting and all my friends too prefer texting over talking, so I find the screen size of the iBall Andi 4di very cramped. Yes, 5 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. My smartphone should do a lot of things simultaneously and not just basic messaging, emails and browsing. And the 2G network is too slow to do anything more than that. I can now travel to almost any new place or location with the built-in GPS and it is great help during various emergencies, traffic updates or navigation issues. The internal storage in the iBall Andi 4di is quite stingy with the tiny 0.512 GB. I don't know what it is good for when it can hardly hold any of my media files.
