<div class="MsoNormal">
DataWind, popular for its low-cost Aakash tablet and
UbiSlate tablets has entered into smartphone market with its new PocketSurfer
range – PocketSurfer 3G5. At a price of only Rs.6499, this phone is a an
attractive buy at this range.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Inside the box, you’ll first see the phone itself. Going
further inside, you;ll find the accessories; the charger, USB Cable and a pair
of earphones along with some documentations.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The packaging by Datawind was quite good and we didn’t find
any minus points regarding the packaging. The packaging was simple, but quite
sturdy.<o:p></o:p><br />

<b><u>Design/ Interface:</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The PocketSurfer 3G5 comes with a 4.92”LCD screen with
480x854 resolution.  It comes with
Android 4.2 JellyBean out of the box. The phone is powered by a Dual Core
MT6572 1.3 GHz ARMv7 Processor along with 512 MB of RAM.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the left of the phone, you’ll find the power button and
to the right, there is only the volume rocker. On the top, there is a slot for
charging and data syncing via a USB cable and also the 3.5mm audio jack. At the
bottom, there is nothing. The phone has a similar design to that of the Sony
Xperia Z1. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the front there is the earpiece and a tiny VGA Camera
above the screen. Below the screen, there are the three hardware buttons; back,
home and menu. Going backwards, you’ll see the 5MP camera along with an LED
flash which is quite disappointing. There is the speaker beside the camera,
which is average<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Memory:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The 3G5 comes with 4 GB internal memory which is expandable
upto 32 GB via the micro SD card. You also get a bunch of useful pre-installed
apps which include educational apps worth Rs.3.5k for free. So that’s a bonus.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Connectivity:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The 3G5 supports up to 2 SIM Cards with GPRS/EDGE/3G
W-CDMA.  The phone also comes with GPS,
which is widely used these days. Apart from that, there is Bluetooth for file
transfer or audio connectivity. Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n is also included in this low
cost phone. You can also sync files with your PC via a USB cable. The phone
doesn’t drop signal quite easily, so it’s good for people who travel often. The
microphone is good, the other party was able to hear us loud and clear. Same
goes to the earpiece, it’s loud and there are no disturbances.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>User Interface:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The User Interface Is quite cool looking on this device with
everything white in the background. The icons are also different from other low
cost Android phones. The notification panel is also unique and won’t feel like
a cheap Android device.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p><b><u>Performance:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since this phone packs a dual core processor, it will run
almost every app or game available today. The 3G5 score a good score of 2868 in
Quadrant, sitting above phones like the Galaxy Nexus and the LG Optimus 2X.
Coming to Antutu, this phone gave us a score of 10525 which is a pretty amazing
score for a phone which is priced under 7000 bucks. We were able to play Temple
Run 2, Riptide GP, Asphalt 8 and Modern Combat 4 without any lag. Now that’s a
good one, Datawind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Battery:</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This phone comes with a 1600mAh battery which is quite low
for a phone with a huge screen. We got around 4 hours of talktime. When it
comes to entertainment, the battery lasted for 3 and a half hours until it went
empty. The standby time on this phone is around 4 to 4.5 days depending whether
you have any data connection on or off. Play an HD game for 3 hours and your
battery gets empty. So the battery is somewhat disappointing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Camera:</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The 5 MP camera on this phone is below average. Outdoor
pictures are good and bright, but when it comes to indoor photos, the camera
sucks big time. Having an LED flash is the same like having no flash. It isn’t
bright at all; the torch which comes in Nokia low cost phones seem to be better
than this flash.  The VGA camera is also
somewhat below average. The colors in both cameras seems washed out. Video
recording isn’t that great, but one cannot complain since it is a low cost
phone.<o:p></o:p></div>
