Verdict:I would say that if you consider the total package, Sony Xperia Tipo Dual looks interesting at its price. It has good hardware, decent pair of earphone bundled so that you can enjoy the Sony Music quality. After that I would consider Galaxy Y Duos as a good package, I have also checked out the Galaxy Y Duos lite which is a great option for dual sim phone if you are searching for something much below Rs 10000. Karbonn A9+ and MMX Superfone Elite are also good package. Micromax and Karbonn hardware quality is not reliable as per me. I would suggest going for a Samsung or Sony Phone instead. Spice has a good package with Spice Mi 425 Stellar but it does not have internal storage.

    KARBONN is a worst bloody mobile, i took A9+ which was formatted by karbonn service center 3 times & then they them self fed up and sent to the company.

    then i used their titanium , which is little better with single sim if u use duel sim there ends the matter , you will not be aware when the mobile sezes , even it will not shut down properly u need ro remove the battery to shut it down

    don’t waste your precious money

    1. Hi! Most of the time these Karbonn and Spice Phones have problem with Firmware which are crappy. But recently, I have noticed that they have started shipping their devices with stock Android Firmware and less of bloatware.
