Although the Maxx Ion MX160 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 such low battery power, the Maxx Ion MX160 won't last me even half a day with my usage. With all the advanced call management features present in the Maxx Ion MX160, 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.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The size of the Maxx Ion MX160 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 Maxx Ion MX160 with good recording features is really good for me. I don't like the camera in particular, and I won't be buying the Maxx Ion MX160, however good the other features might be. I like the Maxx Ion MX160 mainly for its huge internal storage, I never prefer deleting images or videos from my phone. I always feel the more the better when it comes to smartphone storage and I would always chose the Maxx Ion MX160 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. The Maxx Ion MX160 with the 32 GB internal storage really talks to me; it understands my storage needs when it comes to my ebook and gaming collection. 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. I don't want my smartphone to go on for days without charging, but neither do I want a “low battery” warning within an hour into a game; that's what this smartphone with 1000 mAh battery will do.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
The 1.8 inches display of the Maxx Ion MX160 was the first thing that grabbed my attention. I prefer texting over talking but this screen size is way too cramped to do that easily. It's not that amazing to own a smartphone with Yes MP camera resolution. There are cheaper options available that too with better camera resolution. I click hundreds of cool pics with my smartphone and don't think the pictures will be so cool with this phone. I don't worry charging when I can charge my phone with the laptop; I can even transfer files with this. I never delete images and videos in the Maxx Ion MX160 due to less internal storage. My entire music collection travels with me in my smartphone. My world of hundreds of images, videos, music, books, social networking apps and much more simply fits inside my smartphone.
