This Intex SX offers sharp picture quality with its LCD display for an amazing viewing experience.

A a size more colossal screen would work more in your favour than the size provided by this phone. The display sported by Intex SX measures about 3.5 inches.

On 2G network, this device manages to offers 360 hrs of standby time. This device possesses the popular Li-Ion battery. For heavy users, a glitch in the battery department appears as the phone only bids 5 hours of talk time on 2G network.Camera
With the Yes recording modes of this smartphone, and a resolution of Yes, 5 pixels, shooting video is as much fun as clicking pictures. Though it's taken over by the latest entrants, yet the Intex SX does feature a Yes, 0.3 MP front camera; but it is meaningless spending money on a feature that might be of not much use to you. Megapixels are not the sole determiners of the quality of your images and videos. You can get surprisingly good results even with a Yes, 5 megapixels camera when the sensor is of good quality.General Features

Whether it is about standard boasts of or advanced boasts of like Loudspeaker, this Intex SX smartphone is crafted with all such boasts of in it.Memory
Basic functions may not be an issue with the 0.256 GB ram but it is a strict no-no for those who stick with their phones for more complicated apps. A few eyebrows may be raised at the low capacity for internal memory as it satisfies only basic utilities. Multimedia FM is a refreshing change from the set loop of your playlists. With the help of microSD memory cards, it is possible to expand the existing internal storage offered by the device.

The Android v2.3 (Gingerbread) operating system is the one delivering the awesome performance.Mr. Ajmera's Review (A business user)
Although the Intex SX might be extremely portable with its small exterior but I don't think it's worth against the cramped keypad it offers and even the functionality isn't worth the struggle. With all the advanced call management features present in the Intex SX, it is good choice for business users like me. Bluetooth for file sharing is really not of much use to me, but this feature is really handy when it comes to hands-free calling. Even if my travel routes, both business and pleasure, are very much known to me I'd still like the reassurance from the GPS navigation on my phone.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
It looks really small and comfortable for carrying, but I can't type without misspelling the words at least 3-4 times, that's how uncomfortable using this Intex SX is. Video recording is a must on my phone, I just love recording and capturing the innocence of cake cutting or the craziness of a dinner party. I won't worry about the other features in the Intex SX as the camera is so average and a strong deterrent for me. The tiny memory of this Intex SX will not even last me a week. I always feel the more the better when it comes to smartphone storage and I would always chose the Intex SX with expandable memory against any other smartphones that are overpriced and overloaded with confusing features.Ishan's Review (A geek)
As a smartphone, the screen size of the Intex SX is quite decent; but too tiny when it comes to gaming or reading. Reading is still fine, but gaming on a 1 GHz smartphone is really dreadful. Even the lowest graphics games need RAM higher than this. 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.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
The first thing I noticed in the Intex SX was its 3.5 inches display. The screen size of the Intex SX is too cramped and so I can't text that easily on this screen size. The Yes, 5 MP camera resolution is not that cool. You can easily opt for any other smartphone with a better camera, it might even be cheaper. I don't think this smartphone can click awesome pictures, which by the way is my favourite hobby. Recently, I can't imagine life without selfies, and hence the secondary camera. Clicking selfies and groupies is a favourite pastime for me and my friends. It's sometimes difficult to click selfies and groupies with the main camera, so always go for smartphones with good secondary camera. I'd like my smartphone to do all my tasks simultaneously not just perform basic functions like browsing, messaging and emails. And I won't depend upon 2G networks for that. I keep checking the GPS for new locations and traffic updates. The USB connector lets me charge my phone even with my laptop and transfer files. The small 0.128 GB internal storage of the Intex SX feels quite miserly. I don't understand the use of this storage if it can't contain all my media files.
