Matrixx Velvet
Detailed Review
Display
The screen display size is appropriate for a smartphone. Even a a tad undersized screen size can make operating the device a little strenous. If it were slightly bigger, then portability would be a drawback. You are able to bet on higher brightness and vibrancy with the IPS display of the Matrixx Velvet. The Matrixx Velvet flaunts a display of 12.7 cms; approximately 5 inches. This smartphone has a resolution of 480x854 pixels to offer. This device comes with a IPS display.Battery
This smartphone, despite an average battery life, are able to sustain moderate calling and standard texting activities. This device features the popular Li-Ion battery.Camera
The quality of your images and videos does not rely solely on megapixels. Depending on the sensor quality and the smartphone's other applications; you are able to get surprisingly good photography results even with a 5 megapixels camera. Though it's not much considering the latest entrants, yet the Matrixx Velvet does feature a 2 MP front camera; but no point spending money on a feature that might be of no real worth to you.General Features
You get at par accessories such as Handset, Charger, Battery, Manual, Flip Cover(Free), Screen Guard(Free), USB Cable in the box, in addition to the Matrixx Velvet. Like most of the popular smartphones in the market, the Matrixx Velvet possesses a touch screen. The Matrixx Velvet here features a White body. Pre-loaded with a number of features, this smartphone flaunts dimensions of 70.7x140.6x7.9.Connectivity
The size of the sim in this phone belongs to the Micro SIM category. The sim type contained in this phone is the Dual Sim. With a easy HDMI cable and yourHD laptop/TV, you can experience HD viewing of all the movies, videos and images on the Matrixx Velvet. The headphone jack of 3.5 mm makes sure that the audio needs are accommodated by this smartphone. Along with the mobile data, you can in a like manner connect your device to Wi-Fi networks.Memory
Only basic utilities can be satisfied with such a low internal memory. The Mali 400 MP graphics in this Matrixx Velvet enables you to enjoy your favourite games on the device. 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. Stay off graphic intensive games and applications and the lower internal RAM of this smartphone will do the trick. The Matrixx Velvet is absolutely compatible with the microSD, which have the flexibility to help you enhance the internal storage of the device.Performance
This smartphoneruns on the Android v4.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system. This device features a MediaTek MTK6572 platform processor. With a 1.3 GHz processor frequency, the Matrixx Velvet offers supreme performance. A higher frequency will result in a faster response by the device, ensuing in giving you a smoother performance. Most of the popular apps today would run smoothly with the speed offered by the 1.3 GHz processor frequency. All the latest apps and trends will be available to you with the popular android operating system.Mr. Ajmera's Review (A business user)
I strongly recommend the Matrixx Velvet when it comes to easy-to-use keyboard that's small enough to pack away smartly but big enough to offer convenience while typing. The battery of this phone would be okay only if you are fine being on a constant quest for charging options within half a working day. If you are a road warrior like me then you better rethink your choice of device.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The phone is very easy to take with you because of its size but I struggle a little while typing due to the keys placed very close to each other. A smartphone without a good camera is really not my choice, even if the Matrixx Velvet sports other excellent features and fairly makes up. I will need to delete or transfer photos every week if I choose this Matrixx Velvet with its small storage space. The expandable memory of the Matrixx Velvet is a good option for me as against the high priced smartphones which come with high internal memory.Ishan's Review (A geek)
I feel the graphics are so vivid and the text so clear, that I am hooked on to the 5 inch display for my gaming and reading pleasure. The 1.3 GHz is quite a decent frequency, but I would prefer something higher than that for gaming. An internal RAM this low isn't capable of handling any level of multitasking or gaming. Smartphone storage with such low capacity even for basic apps and programs is really irrelevant. If you have gaming and ebook library as huge as mine, you can never say no to an extendable memory storage. The battery does last for 3-4 hours of a graphic-heavy game session, however immediately after this I need to put the Matrixx Velvet on charging; really can't do much post the session.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
The first thing I noticed in the Matrixx Velvet was its 5 inches display. The Matrixx Velvet has an amazing screen size, I feel. I can type only with one hand and can easily stick it in denim pockets. Though, I personally love my videos on a large screen. The 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. The USB connector lets me charge my phone even with my laptop and transfer files. The small 4 GB internal storage of the Matrixx Velvet feels quite miserly. I don't understand the use of this storage if it can't contain all my media files.
