A TFT display is offered by this device. The Maxx Arc MX101 flaunts a display of 4.57 cms; approximately 1.8 inches.

Megapixels are not the sole determiners of the quality of your images and videos.

This Maxx Arc MX101 possesses a platform that performs at a frequency of GSM - 900, 1800 GHz.Mr. Ajmera's Review (A business user)
It is meaningless fidgeting with a screen that poses real struggle 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 bids with respect to functiona. With my kinda usage and lifestyle neither the battery will last me decent hours, nor are able to I provide it with charging as and when needed. I more than often opt for efficient devices like the as it present me with a robust call management; as I am hardly ever off my phone. Bluetooth in my smartphone is essential more for hands-free calling than file sharing.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
It looks really tiny and comfortable for carrying, but I can't type without misspelling the words at least 3-4 times, that's how uncomfortable using this Maxx Arc MX101 is. Video recording is fun and allows me record all pleasing memories of birthday parties and the energy and excitement of a house party. I won't worry about the other features in the Maxx Arc MX101 as the camera is so average and a strong deterrent for me. It is credited with enough space for all music, videos and images so that I don't have to delete anything. The extendable memory of the Maxx Arc MX101 is a good option for me as against the high priced smartphones with high internal memory that also comes with highly confusing features.Ishan's Review (A geek)
The 1.8 inch display is quite decent for a smartphone but I don't like it for my reading or gaming purpose. I can download and save all my cool and graphic-heavy games with the 32 GB internal storage of this smartphone and still have enough room for my ebooks and apps. If you have gaming and ebook library as huge as mine, you can never say no to an extendable memory storage. I can't deal with battery warning just within a couple of hours into my gaming session; the Maxx Arc MX101 is quite frustrating in this matter.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
For me the 1.8 inches display is the first thing I noticed in the Maxx Arc MX101. The screen size of the Maxx Arc MX101 is too cramped and so I can't text that easily on this screen size. It's not that amazing to own a smartphone with Yes MP camera resolution. You have the flexibility to easily go for any other smartphone with a better camera, it might even be cheaper. I don't this smartphone can click awesome pictures, which by the way is my favourite hobby. 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. I love the Maxx Arc MX101 where I hardly delete photos and videos due to storage issues. Plus I even carry around my entire music library. My smartphone is my world and it easily carries around my numerous group pics, videos with friends, my favourite YouTube videos, music, books, social networking apps and much more.
