Build Quality, Design and Form Factor
The build of Videocon A55 HD is really nice, it comes in shiny black which really feels really classic and has really good design with curved back cover, but the back cover is glossy in nature so it will attract fingerprints very easily. The design seems to be inspired from HTC Butterfly but it still it really feels unique and great to hold in hand and really feels like a premium phone. The form factor of the phone is good because of the curved back and feels little big but its not heavy in terms of weight to hold and you will get used to the size of the device in some days of usage.
Display, Memory and Battery Backup
The display is quite good and sharp in colors, the viewing angles of the display are good from right and left as we tested while playing a HD video on the device, it can play HD videos at 720p and 1080p without any issues or audio video lag. The in built memory of the device is 4 Gb internal out of which 1.76 GB and you have support for expanding the memory with SD card and you can also install apps on the SD card and you can also move apps from phone memory to SD card for supported movable applications. The battery backup is around 1 day like any other smartphone but with extensive usage it will be little less than one day.
Software, Benchmarks and Gaming
The software UI is almost stock android we did not face any customizations but there are some new apps like V store which is app store by videocon and Funzone which is another app for alerts, you have 5 home screens which you cannot increase or decrease.
