Karbonn Sparkle V: Performance and Connectivity options

For starters, the Sparkle V features a 1.2GHz quad-core MediaTek processor, paired with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of native storage, which can be later expanded via a microSD card slot. Without any doubt, the spec sheet of the handset is reasonable enough, and justified too.

We do not expect the performance to be a core issue, given its above average specs sheet. So far the handset feels great while navigating apps. We definitely need to spend more time before jumping on a conclusion.

Connectivity options are pretty standard. The phone will take advantage of 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, dual-SIM, FM Radio, USB 2.0, Bluetooth, among others.
