New Update

Spice has come up with Stellar MI-506 to further heaten up the competition in sub 8k smartphone category. The fourth phone in Spice Smart Flo matte series comes with a brushed mettalic finish on front, sides and back panel which gives it a close resemblance to HTC One M7. Stellar MI-506 gives a solid feel in hands but can slip out because of the material used in its construction.

The phone is powered by a dual-core Mediatek MT6572 processor clocked at 1.3 Ghz and has a Mali-400 MP GPU. It is supported by 512 MB RAM that shows its effects in occasonal lags while multitasking. Stellar MI-506 runs on Android 4.2.2 jellybean with some variations in icons and widgets by Spice. Surprisngly, phone does not support any feature to manage multitasking that affects its performance and you have to install a third party app to kill background apps.

The 5-inch TFT capacitive display of Stellar MI-506 offers a resolution of 854*480 that accounts to 196 PPI which fails to impress. The glossy display is hardly visible in sunlight, lacks details and is a dissapointment with its poor viewing angles. There is a big speaker at the back that delivers loud sound with average quality.

Spice has added some tweaks in Steller MI-506 to enhance its usability. There is M tracker (to locate the phone in case of theft) an Auto call recorder, Flip to mute, intellegent answer direct call feature which can be handy in day to day tasks. The 8 MP rear camera is below average quality. Indoor Pictures are noisy with minimal details and lack of autofocus can dissapoint users who have a knack for photography. It wroks just fine in proper sunlight. The front is equipped with a 1.3 MP camera that is no exception.

Despite having a large 5-inch display, the 1800 mAh battery gave a 3hrs 20 minute video playback with full brightness at wi-fi and can last for a day with medium usage. The package includes a flipcover, a standard android charger, a screenguard and earphones that is a clear coply of iPhone's in-ear headphones with loud but not so clear sound.

The price can be varied if you buy online. You can buy Stellar Mi-506 on Flipkart here.
