After seeing how well Motorola’s Milestone XT720 has performed, we expected something very similar with the Flipout. It certainly looked good at first glance, but later on collapsed in almost every aspect. To our disappointment, it turned out be very mediocre. |
Design and Form Factor
If you vaguely remember how the Micromax Bling Q55 looks, you’ll get an idea of how the Flipout is designed. It’s a small square smartphone with dimensions of 67 x 67 mm and the thickness is a bit on the higher side at 17 mm. The volume controls rest on the top and on the Flipout’s left is an audio jack and a power/lock switch. At the bottom of the smartphone is a microUSB slot for charging and data transfer.
The design is pretty unique, which is good for starters but doesn’t really do justice for a touchscreen Android smartphone. Touchscreen phones should have bigger displays to utilize the interface properly.
Media
Flipout’s media support is not great, with only MP3, AAC+ and WAV audio formats and MP4, WMV, H.264, H.263, XviD video formats supported. The mid tones are a lot more obvious while the highs are audible at least. However the lows seem to be non-existent. It still doesn’t make for a good music source while travelling short distances.
Watching videos on this display were a little weird in the first place but they played pretty decently without lagging too much.
The Android Market acts as the saving grace for the Flipout, so you can download games and apps for it. The pre-installed YouTube application is quite convenient to use and searching for videos is easy as well.
