The iBall Aura 2b possesses a display of 7.11 cms; approximately 2.8 inches. The provided display size may cause difficulty in operating the phone.Battery
On 2G network, this device manages to bids 300 hrs of standby time. For heavy users, a glitch in the battery department appears as the phone only bids 7 hours of talk time on 2G network.Camera
Clicking appealing pictures even in the dark is an easy job with the dual LED flash of this device, as it are able to now emit twice as much light as compared with the single LED. Even if you are working with a low light setting, the built-in Flash of this device will ensure that you never have to compromise on the quality of your image. With the Yes recording modes of this smartphone, and a resolution of Yes, 1.3 pixels, shooting video is as much a rage as clicking pictures. Megapixels are not the sole determiners of the quality of your images and videos. You are able to get surprisingly good results even with a Yes, 1.3 megapixels camera when the sensor is of good quality.General Features

The operating platform in this iBall Aura 2b delivers at a frequency of GSM - 900, 1800 GHz.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. Not an hour goes by without my phone ringing, that's why I always go for something like the iBall Aura 2b that has all the advanced features to ease the communication. 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.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The size of the iBall Aura 2b makes it extremely portable, but with its tiny and cramped keypad it's really not of much use to me. I never let a special occasion pass by without recording it, right from cake cutting to dinner parties; and the iBall Aura 2b with good recording features is really good for me. I don't like the camera in particular, and I won't be buying the iBall Aura 2b, however good the other features might be. I always feel the more the better when it comes to smartphone storage and I would always chose the iBall Aura 2b with expandable memory against any other smartphones that are overpriced and overloaded with confusing features.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. 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 2.8 inches display is the first thing I noticed in the iBall Aura 2b. I love texting and all my friends too prefer texting over talking, so I find the screen size of the iBall Aura 2b very cramped. Yes, 1.3 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 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.
