Today, the Indian market is flooded with smartphones promoted by Indian companies, offering features that would make anyone drool, especially since they cost one-third of what is being offered by reputed brands. But they could be confusing too. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jun/A119-Q.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 731px;" /> We faced a similar dilemma when the Celkon Signature HD A119Q, with an MRP of Rs 13,499, arrived for review. The specifications are too good 12 mega pixel rear camera, 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, dual SIM slots, a 5-inch screen with 720x1280 resolution and glass protection. And to top it all, it comes with goodies like a phone cover and a scratch guard. But do these features add up for a worthy buy? <img border="0" height="1" src="http://web.ventunotech.com/beacon/vtpixpc.gif?pid=1264&amp;pixelfrom=op" style="-webkit-user-select:none;border:0px;" width="1" /> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="325" id="ventuno_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="405"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.ventunotech.com/vtn_player_2.swf?vID=MTM3ODcwfHwxMjY0fHw0MTd8fDEsMiwx" /> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> <embed allowfullscreen="true" allownetworking="all" allowscriptaccess="always" height="325" src="http://player.ventunotech.com/vtn_player_2.swf?vID=MTM3ODcwfHwxMjY0fHw0MTd8fDEsMiwx" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="405"></embed> </object> Let&rsquo;s first tell you that the phone is stylish, a bit heavy (understandable, considering its size), and the battery lasts for 12-14 hours. The 5-inch screen is a bit grainy, but likeable. However, if you wish to do more than watching videos, or browsing the web, the A119Q behaves a bit rudely. The 12MP camera (tough to believe) works decently in daylight, but the absence of auto exposure lock makes it difficult to shoot a video. Besides, the 1.65GB available memory (out of 4GB) is too less. Celkon also needs to fix a few bugs; for example, the phone restarts during multi-tab browsing, and at times, after you hang-up, you can&rsquo;t make another call until you restart the phone. So, yes, A119 Q, would be a good buy and give phones like Micromax Cavans HD a good competition, but not unless Celkon fixes the bugs that seem to have poisoned its system. And what&rsquo;s with apps like Mango TV and Celkon Live? We certainly aren&rsquo;t paying for sexy wallpapers, now! Log on to <a href="http://www.snapdeal.com" target="_blank">www.snapdeal.com</a>

On cloud nine
