Design and display:

The Karbonn Titanium Mach One Plus phone dons a plastic body with removable back panel. The metallic-finished rim is what separates the front and back panels. In terms of looks, the back variant of the phone looks just about fine, while we found the white variant a lot better.

The 4.7-inch HD (720p) display is good for its resolution and reproduces colours well, but we have seen better. The size however makes it quite comfortable on hand.

Camera:

The Titanium Mach One Plus sports an 8-megapixel rear camera with auto-focus and flash, and a 5-megapixel secondary camera with BSI sensor on front. We found a lot of issues with the camera, while testing it, but considering that those were demo-units and the ambient lighting conditions, we will reserve our final take on camera for our review of the phone.

Software:

The phone runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop out-of-the-box, with the company's native skin topping it. In addition, the phone comes with several apps pre-loaded on it.

Considering that integration of SwiftKey is one of the key features of the phone, we did check out the new language support feature on the phone. Typing messages in various Indian languages turned out to be quite a smooth as well as fun experience. It seemed pretty user-friendly and usable as well.
