The iBall Cobalt 2 is really recommended for any user who relates to my idea of having a balance between a large enough easy-to-use keyboard and overall small enough for fit snugly in your pockets. The battery within few months will need constant charging considering my usage, but I hardly have time to leave it behind for charging or carry around a bulky power bank. This battery is a decent choice only if you can't buy a more powerful option, else it'll be more often connected to the charger than to you.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The alphabets on the QWERTY keypad are a bit congested, but the entire size of this iBall Cobalt 2 is what I like the most. I not only like clicking lot of pictures and shooting video during dinner and birthday parties with friends and family, but also share it immediately so I need clear and sharp images. The tiny memory of this iBall Cobalt 2 will not even last me a week. The expandable memory of the iBall Cobalt 2 is a good option for me as against the high priced smartphones which come with high internal memory.Ishan's Review (A geek)
The display of this smartphone seems to be very well-calibrated and it keeps me reeled in with my gaming and reading. Although I would recommend a higher frequency for gaming, the 1.3 GHz is not that bad an option. It's a real smooth experience with gaming or multitasking on the iBall Cobalt 2 with its 1 GB RAM. I dunno what good is storage which is insufficient even for regular apps and programs. Extendable memory is always a great storage backup if you have a growing collection of ebooks, games and apps. Immediately after a 4 hour graphic-intense gaming session on the iBall Cobalt 2, I have to plug it in charging; these gaming sessions sometimes are shortened by a call in between as the battery is almost depleted by the end of the call.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
For me the 5 inches display is the first thing I noticed in the iBall Cobalt 2. I think iBall Cobalt 2 has an absolutely cool screen size. It fits well in my denim pockets and I can type with one hand. Not that bad for viewing videos either, but I like to view videos on larger screens. I am addicted to clicking pictures with the 12 MP Of the iBall Cobalt 2. The images are so good and I simply point and shoot, still the pictures are really mind blowing. 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 iBall Cobalt 2 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.
