include("ad4th.php"); ?>Smartphones have made a significant place in our world and gained a lot of importance. Almost everyone is obsessed with having a smartphone and it has become something that we cannot live without. However, similar to all technology it comes with an expiry date. Once the technology is updated, the old one becomes outdate and sometimes even useless. Because of this dynamic nature, there is always new technology to buy, new phones that are launched. While, many of these new phones are pretty expensive, some companies have made it a point to launch similar features on a cheaper phone. These phones do not cause that much of a dent on the pockets of the masses, allowing them to also use chic phones and stay in style.
Micromax is one such company that has made it a point to offer high-range features on low- and mid-range phones. These phones are appealing to the eyes and do not require such heavy investment. These phones have become disposable, to be used until something better comes along. Such phones include the Micromax A116. It has been known to give excellent competition to Karbonn phones, Samsung mid-range phones and is even beating out Nokia phones. Samsung Galaxy Grand is a mid-range phone that is launched by Samsung Corporation.
