The operating platform in this Micromax X279 delivers at a frequency of GSM - 900, 1800 GHz.Mr. Ajmera's Review (A business user)
No point fidgeting with a screen that poses real difficulty 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 offers with respect to functionality. Not an hour goes by without my phone ringing, that's why I always go for something like the Micromax X279 that has all the advanced features to ease the communication. Although I am not so much into file sharing via Bluetooth as I am more of an email guy, but it is quite essential for hands-free calling.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
The size of the Micromax X279 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 Micromax X279 with good recording features is really good for me. I don't like the camera in particular, and I won't be buying the Micromax X279, however good the other features might be. Smartphones with larger memory is always preferred by me; this phone can't even hold images and videos which I save in a single week. I always feel the more the better when it comes to smartphone storage and I would always chose the Micromax X279 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. No clue what's the point of storage which can't even make enough room for my apps, leave alone my books and games. 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.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
For me the 2.4 inches display is the first thing I noticed in the Micromax X279. I love texting and all my friends too prefer texting over talking, so I find the screen size of the Micromax X279 very cramped. Yes, 0.3 MP is not that great camera resolution. There are so many smartphones with better megapixels sometimes even cheaper than this phone. I love clicking pictures with my smartphone and this one doesn't seem up for it. 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 Micromax X279 is quite stingy with the tiny 0.000122 GB. I don't know what it is good for when it can hardly hold any of my media files.
