Videocon Dual Sim Touch screen mobile phone review
November 7, 2009 · Article by Sriraj · 35 Comments
Till now we saw many Dual Sim mobiles but most of them are from new entrants into the market like Karbonn mobiles, Micromax etc. We saw why top tier companies like Nokia didn’t bother to enter the Dual Sim market and wondered whether there’ll be any top tier company producing Dual Sim mobiles in India.
Here is a company, albeit new into Mobile phones, that has got a great respect in India and has huge service centres entering the arena. If you are still wondering what company it is, it’s Videocon.
Here is a small review of fantastic product (Dual Sim and Touch screen phone) from a fantastic company.
Videocon V1750 Dual Sim Touch Screen phone review
First, it has a 3.2 inch TFT full touch screen along with Dual Sim (GSM+GSM) option, one that is most wanted today in India with ever decreasing calling rates.
It has a motion sensor which automatically changes the wall paper, shuffles music and a G sensor that automatically rotates the screen menu horizontally or vertically according to your use.
It has a standard 3.5 inch headphone jack with adjustable equalizer containing options like Jazz, Pop, Hip hop, Classical, Rock etc. An addition to this is the Bass booster option.
It has an FM Radio with recording feature and can play songs in mp3, wma, aac,wav formats and videos in avi, mpeg4 and 3gp formats.
The external memory of the phone is expandable up to 8GB giving you plenty of space to load all your songs, videos and pictures or use it as a mass storage device.
The camera is a 3.2 mega pixel one with LED flash and Auto focus. An addition, again, to this is an Image editor option, with which you can edit the picture in various ways like adjust the colour, contrast, brightness, reduce red eye even before transferring the pictures to your computer.
When it comes to connectivity, it supports Quad band GSM, has GPRS and EDGE capabilities besides Bluetooth streaming option.
For security, this one has got mobile tracking option with which you can track your mobile from any where in case it is found missing.
Another cute little feature, which you may have already be using in your Nokia phone by installing a software called call cheater, is the Background noise simulation option which produces different background sounds like in an Airport, Theatre, Railway station etc while you are talking, giving you a chance to ‘pose’ as if you were a busy person 
You get 2 styluses, a car charger, data cable, wired headset, pouch, charger along with the V 1750 handset.
All this for only Rs.9795. Remember, this is not any Karbonn mobiles, Micromax mobiles etc (with due respect to both of them), but is a product from Videocon.
Hi Friends,
I bought V1750 on the second day of its launch, it costs me 7500 bucks. I was very excited to buy this cell. But after purchasing and using it for a week I am a bit disappointed. I think I could have opted Samsung. It’s touch screen is actually a hit screen, you need to hit your fingers on the screen to scroll messages and songs. It does not have pdf viewer. 3.2 mega pixel camera is actually disaster, worst than any nokia’s 2 mega pixel cam. In absense of light even with flash it clicks disastrous photos. You have to put your hand in still position to click photos otherwise in 90% cases the photos are blurred. I received 2 GB card with it. I filled 1 GB songs in it and it’s audio player software hanged. Then I went to shop keeper, he then restore factory settings which deleted all the new settings that I done during a week. The battery backup is also not good.
The only USP is its dual sim functionality which I works seemlessly very fine. The screen is quite wide which is its another USP.
Initially I thought I should buy indian brand cell phones to promote indian industries (being patriotic) but I think indian industries need to do work way beyond what they are doing currently if they wanna stay in the market.
If you guys are looking for a good touch screen cell and with good camera capability then go for samsung and not for this videocon because I think videocon need lot of time to evolve themselves in mobile business.
I would be most happiest person in this world if someone would revert my money back.
I repent my decision of buying videocon even when I was in dilemma of buying samsung star/corby.
HI..
ditto comment from me also. Do NOT Purchase this mobile. It has many features for this price, but what is the us if u need to take it to the service centre every alternate day for small issue. My mobile is just five days old and till now these are the issues faced
1. Mobile gets powered off when I select audio player
2. the mic goes mute in between and you need to restart the cell
3. The answer key in touch pad works on its convenience and I am forced to use the button below. That leaves me no option to make the ring silent.
4. The qwerty keypad that i supposed to automatically pen up when I tilt the phone rarely happens.
Well, these are in 5 days usaage. will update as soon as new issues pop up and guess thats soon going to happen. Videocon should really do something to make the phone more reliable and improve quality. The Phone looks and feels good.
If you just need a Dual Sim , go for Karbon/micromax etc. If u need branded Dual Sim, go for samsung.
it has gr8 look and fetures and also value for money. but the latest report is that it has comparatatively low talk time of just 4 hours.
I liked the features but want to know whether it has in built PDF & word document viewer or it needs any application to be installed.
I am using Videcon V1403 model Dual sim. how 2 conet 2 pc via usb wire
can anyone tell me about the good and bad side of the phone(v-1750)?

Just to experience quality Dual Sim mobiles which either Samsung star or Corby lacks.
Were you talking about the WinMo smart phone in Videocon?
can i get a good dual sim phone which supports 3g?
Unfortunately, there are no such handsets available that are ‘reliable’.
How can we send sms to multiple recipients, is there anything like distribution lists or caller groups like in nokia phones

how is function,
CAn Videocon give a Specific Date for the Launch in Mumbai of V1750. Is it launched in other states. If it is then When was it launched. How is the Functions? Does it hang up? I want to buy this phone. On papers it looks Great. On performance …yet to be seen. So please someone out in Videcon give us a Date for Mumbai.
hi pals.. can any one tel whether in all videocon dual sim mobiles, if we r talking in sim A means will the incoming call of sim B will display as call waiting or the sim B will b switched off ? because only samsung dual sim mobile has these facility and other than this in all mobile like maxx, micromax, lava, karbon etc.. in all mobiles if v talk in one sim means the other sim vil remained as switched off.. plz tel me correctly.. i want to buy.
If the phone spec reads ‘Dual Sim Dual Standby’ then the second Sim wouldn’t be switched off when using the other.
Yes, i`am impressed with the future & price of this new model & interested to purchase ,pl guide me how can i purchase it from Vadodara, Gujarat.
Thanks

I dont think Samsung has any dual sim quadband phone, 1750 is dual sim quad band.
not only that all this fr rs.9000.samsung star has 3.2m camera, office doc viewer.so y wud 1 tk videocon????????

I would like to buy one in Mumbai. Anybody knows of vendor in Andheri, Mumbai or Thane.
you should be able to get it in Mumbai by mid of January. It is not launched in Mumbai yet. I do not know why the delay is , but was suppose to be launched in mumbai in Mid of December. I had enquired about it through their Call Support centre.
I am using Videcon V5212 model Dual sim.When I call from Sim A,then I am unable to receive call from Sim B.It indicate Switch Off the person calling me on Sim B.
its not a serious problem brother. Go to settings menu-call settings-there u find sim1 call settings and sim 2 call settings. In both settings u will see line switching option. Assain both line switching as line 1. problem solved. IF still problem persists contact me on my mail ID firebits at gmail.com
it is good to see, read features and price also. now i want to get it.
I want to buy a videocon mobile phone with dual sim
we wish to buy videocon V1750 mobile phone . please let us know where we get the same.
hello friends,
i have been looking for a stylish dual sim mobile for a long time and this one looks great. But i am worried about the performance of the mobile. I will be using one of my cards for browsing and the other one for making calls…. Is it capable of processing the request fast enough, it should not hang at any chance…… I would like to have some comments before i go or it…..
I bought this one today and everything is good except the touch screen. Not to worry, but it could have been a little better. You’ll be used to the sensitivity once you used for 2 hours.
No serious complaints
Videocon mobiles are low rate. Today I went to a dealer of videocon in hyderabad and he said mobiles are currently un available. He only got few models of videocon and all were purchased and asked me to come in a week time.
Where in Hyderabad are you getting videocon mobiles?
please give me the details
thanks

features are great, but difficult to assess durability being not having commented by a

The article is pretty fresh. Comeback again a week later and I’m sure you’ll see some comments.
Videocon is very good company. We have LCD TV and AC of Videocon in my home and now may be a possible mobile phone.
