Micromax, the brand which is introducing many innovative and feature-loaded handsets recently, has just launched the Q5. Read on our extensive review of Micromax Q5 to get a glimpse of their latest offering.
Micromax Q5 is a dual-SIM GSM Handset with full QWERTY keypad. It is equipped with a 2.2 Inch screen with 262 K color display and 320 x 240 pixels display resolution.
Feature Highlights
- QWERTY Keypad with Track Ball

- 2MP Camera
- Dual SIM Support
The Sales Package of the Micromax Q5 contains :
- Transceiver i.e., the handset
- Standard Battery
- Standard Charger
- Handsfree Kit
- User Guide and
- Service Guide
Now lets take a look at its features in detail.
Design and construction
It is a bar-shaped phone with dimensions of 115×62x12.5mm and weighing 95 grams. The most striking feature of the Q5 is Trackball Navigation with Full QWERTY keypad. It supports Dual SIM of GSM-Dual-Band (900/1800 MHz).
Messaging
It supports SMS as well as MMS. Texting-lovers will surely love this phone as it sports full QWERTY keypad. This makes typing a breeze on the Micromax Q5.
The absence of Email and Push Email is disappointing, though.
Camera
The camera is a very basic one with 2 megapixels and digital zoom capable of snapping 1600×1200 resolution images. Video capture ability is also provided.
Multimedia
The music player present in the Micromax Q5 is a multi format player capable of playing MP3, AMR, MIDI and WAV files. You can also tune into your favorite FM Radio stations due to the presence of Stereo FM Radio. The presence of a video player also enhances its multimedia capabilities.
Few games are also present to keep you entertained.
Connectivity
USB Port is present for easy transfer of files to/from a PC.
For wireless exchange of data, you can use its Bluetooth. It also supports A2DP .
Internet
For internet on-the-go, you can use GPRS, EDGE and WAP 2.0 of the Micromax Q5.
Opera Mini is integrated. So your browsing experience will be a lot better now. You can also connect to your friends on Facebook and yes, it is also pre-installed.
Memory
The phonebook memory and SMS memory is pretty decent, capable of storing 1000 contacts and SMS respectively.
The internal memory of the phone stands at a meagre 15 MB. But it supports MicroSD (upto 8GB), which we think will be enough for your needs.
Battery Type
The battery present in the Micromax Q5 is a Li-ion 1000mAh one, capable of providing talk time and standby time of up to 5 hours and 180 hours respectively.

Micromax is really a great job. As it started , it was not expected from micromax.But Micromax has proved that it can make available all the features to users on very affordable prices. |
