Spice Stellar Horizon Mi-500: Tech Specs and First Impression





For those who like to fiddle with bigger mobile handsets, Spice Mobility is planning to come up with a pretty big (read gigantic) specimen this month, which will be known to the world as the SpiceStellar Horizon Mi-500. The mobile maker is keeping a stern mum over the handset now, but, we- as avid mobile hunters- discovered a prototype of the same. Sharing some of the pics and videos that will give you some hints about what the Mi-500 is all about.



First and the foremost thing that attracts the attention towards the handset is its massive display – 5 inches. In addition to the WVGA capacitive touch screen of the Mi-500, the phone is powered by Android IceCream Sandwich 4.0. The handset is a dual SIM (2G+3G) phone, which is a customary Spice signature these days.
The phone is powered by a 1GHz dual core processor, which will multifold the fun element of the machine. The processor is well complimented by a 512MB RAM, the ROM is 4GB. The Mi-500 comes with a 5MP camera on the rear side of the body and on the front side there is a VGA camera for video chat and self portrait. The main camera is supported by a dual LED flash.
This video will get you well acquainted with the look and feel of the device:

In the power segment, the Mi-500 boasts of a 2400mAh battery; no need to say how long the battery life would be – enormous. Then there is GPS/AGPS, Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi tethering, proximity sensor, FM radio, multi format media player, and expandable memory till 32GB.
From the very outset the Mi-500 seems to be a mouth watering prospect, wait for a week or two and you yourself would get to feel it. Beware Galaxy Note.

Spice Stellar Craze Mi-355 vs HTC Wildfire S





In my last post I drew a comparison between Spice’s soon to be releasing, Stellar Craze Mi-355 and Samsung’s Galaxy Y. We found out that the Spice Stellar Craze is not just a better phone but is a thousand bucks cheaper than the other handset. Today I am going to put it against the other market ruler, the Wildfire S from HTC, which is a force to reckon with in the smartphone world globally. So let’s jump into a head to head comparison, without further ado.

Look and Feel
The Wildfire S has a screen size of 3.2 inch whereas the Spice Stellar has a 3.5 inch screen but the 119x64x12 mm dimension of the Spice handset is such that it can neither be called ergonomic nor stylish, though the makers have tried to give it a rectangular iPhone like look but they seem to have not been so successful with their endeavor. Wildfire S all the way.

CPU and RAM
In the CPU segment the HTC Wildfire S comes packed with an 600MHz, seconded by a 512MB RAM processor and in reply the Spice Stellar has a conspicuously superior processor of 800MHz, which is well complimented by a 512 MB RAM. No need to say that the Spice Stellar is more powerful here.

Storage capacity
The expandable storage capacity of either of the handsets is 32GB but the internal storage capacity of the Wildfire S, which happens to be 418MB, is almost three times bigger than that of the Spice handset. Wildfire S.

Display and Camera Specifications
The 3.5 inch LCD TFT screen of Spice Stellar Mi-355 has a 480x320 p resolution, which makes the images and visuals crispier and interesting. The other handset in question, the HTC Wildfire S houses a 3.2 inch screen, has the same resolution as Stellar thus has a higher ppi. This goes as a draw.

Camera
The most amazing thing about the Spice Stellar Mi-355 is the presence of a secondary camera that is a rarity in its price bracket. Now, both the handsets house a 5MP primary camera, HTC has a LED flash, which is replied befittingly by a dual LED flash of the other handset. With a camera on the front side the Stellar wins, wins by a margin.

Connectivity, Battery, and OS
In the connectivity segment both the handsets have 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. Battery spec of the HTC Desire S says that it has a standard 1230mAh Li-Ion battery, which is significantly smaller than the 1420mAh battery of the Spice Stellar Mi-355.
Both the handsets are Android driven handsets and both of them run the same version of the OS, Android Gingerbread.  

The Verdict
Yes, the form factor of the HTC is better so is the Storage capacity, but are these the specs and is the difference so big that the we should pay additional four thousand(Spice is priced at 6k and HTC at 10K), the answer is NO.

The Spice Stellar has a front camera, better battery, bigger display, and faster CPU, which make it a better handset. And the dirt cheap price tag is the icing on the cake. All green for the Spice Mi-355, thumbs up.
