7.5

“Even though the touch screen is a bit finicky sometimes, the display performs far better than expected. The display quality is better than the Samsung Galaxy Y as well as general performance. The phone does get a bit hot if you are playing games, and the battery drains faster as well. But given the price at which the Ninja A27 is available, we have very few complaints apart from the faulty accelerometer which can be very easily fixed with a ROM update.The camera too is sub-par, as well as the sound from the loud speaker which tends to crack if you crank up the volume to the max. But such things go unnoticed since this phone opens the way to Google's Play Store at a very low price point, which can very easily make smartphones mainstream in India. There are always better options that this phone, but there are probably no other devices which can beat this phone in the budget segment. So, if you are planning to buy this phone plainly because you want to buy a budget android device, then this could be the perfect buy.”
