Celkon a119Q signature hd Review

Hi guys, I like to share my experience of my new mobile Celkon Signature Hd a119Q with you. 5 inch with resolution of 1280 x 720 and 12 mp camera. I got this mobile  at Rs 11750 from Snapdeal.

Signature Hd Box Pack
On the Box, all specification are mention. You can see the images below, i have uploaded sar value which is mention on the box.



On the box, they mention light, proximity and gravity sensors are there and all others site also told the same but i have surprise that this phone also have magnetic sensor. You can check quadrant benchmark specification screenshot below.

In the box, you got screen guard, flip cover, headset, USB cable and charger, you can check images of flip cover and headset.



Phone and Accessories Quality
The built quality of phone is really good, front side is black and gloss finish and rear side is slightly dark grayish and of matte finish. Power button is on the top and other three side is covered with grey matte finish border. Display is very good and bright and i think s far better than micromax canvas HD. Headset is of very poor quality but sound quality is good. Provided flip cover got textured back panel with no celkon logo and front side got galaxy s4 finish texture.


Camera and Video
Camera is of 12 Mp autofocus. And in my opinion camera does a really good job for taking picture outdoor and indoor as well. In this price range you will get an awesome camera. You can check pictures which i uploaded above and below.



You can record ful hd video i.e. 1080 p. In this, you have to select quality to fine and also remember to on EIS option. I will upload video sample later.

Ram and Rom
The internal storage is of 4 gb, out of 4 gb around 850mb is for apps and 1.65gb for storage. You can store your apps to SD Card also. Ram is 1 gb out of which 650 is available when i first boot my mobile and after 1 one day of usage its around in between 500 to 550 mb.

Benchmarks
The performance of the phone is very good no lag at all. I ran Nenamark 2, Antutu and Quadrant bench mark test. The result is given Below.

Quadrant :- 4002 first time and 4020 second time.
Antutu :- 12818 first time and 13012 second time.
Nenamark 2 :- 36.8 fps and 44.5 fps.

You can check screenshot below.















Battery is of 2100 mah capacity. Moderate use gives 1 day battery very easily.
Games :- I dint played heavy games but i believe it can play many HD games with ease.

Thanks for reading, hope my review is helpful to choose you a good mobile. If you have any query please comment, i will try to give you answer.

    Over all excellent in compare with price.. :) :)

  9. Nice Review. I want to purchase this mobile. But, one small question, how did you purchase this mobile at RS.11750, as I can see RS.12499 in snapdeal. Is there any coupon code that should be applied.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. There is a coupon code earlier to get it for 11750. its not there now. But the snapdeal is so bad that, they are not delivering the mobile in time. i ordered online on 20th may and till now i didn't get the mobile. the customer care people are not giving a proper response on why this was delayed. i would have called them 5-6 times. they dont have proper answer. only thing they are trained is, your problem will be solved in 24-48 hours. that never happened. still waiting for my mobile after 17days of ordering. they even not cancelling my order. i am in a very bad situation.

      Delete
    2. Yes i get my phn for using code, thank god i receive my phone with in 4 days of order placing. :D

    1. i think you have to look lava iris 504q.
      very nice looking phone and display is crisp as compare to any other phn in this segment, and aftersale services is better than xolo and celkon.

      Delete
    2. Lava Iris 504Q is a bit costly and also I don't like the 'Wave To Change & Click' feature.
      There's a new model -> Celkon A118 Signature HD with the USB-OTG feature(I needed this) but with 8MP primary camera & 2000mAh battery, but with with a price tag less than A119Q.
      So bro, what do you think about A118???

      Delete
    3. Yes phone is realy good and processor is same and also support usb otg cable. Camera with bsi sensor realy cool, you can go withthis.

  31. Thanks a tonne Zaf...
    I am currently using MMX 110Q Canvas 2 Plus, but planning to buy this model, can u please throw some light, like does they have their service centers in kolkata, etc?? U see, buying these products are fine, till the date it is not required to visit the service centers.
    Another thing, the cameras, that is 12 mp & 3 mp..... are those really that powerful??
    Again, can we use 3g gsm sims in both the sim slots?? as it is given 1 sim slot is WCDMA.... i am really unaware of this thing.....
    Please help

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I dont know service center in kolkata, you can check service center list in celkon website. If you campare with samsung camera no but if you compare with micromax yes it is powerful.
      you can use 3g only in one sim but you dont have to change sim slot place, there is option in setting of 3g sim and 2g sim.
