The phone has a gravity sensor and can shift between dual SIMs. The interface of the phone is comfortable to use but keypad keys are little closely place for our liking. Typing fast SMSs can be a real task on this phone.

Telephony and Phonebook

The phone only supports 2G network. The phone is Dual SIM. The phone call voice quality is good if you are sitting in a closed room or office but if you are in a crowded place then the noise cancellation is very bad. The speakerphone on the phone leaves a lot to be desired and the sound quality is pathetic. The phonebook can save up to 1000 entries and there is an option of photo call available on the phone.

Gallery, Photo Viewer and Video Player

The photo and gallery features of the phone are very simple. The scrolling between the photos is not smooth because of the resistive touchscreen. The video player on the device supports AVI, 3GP and MP4 formats. However watching videos in the phone is just a passable experience.

Micromax X600 Music Player and FM Radio

The FM radio on the phone has a recording feature, which records very clear voice. The music quality on the phone is very good and we wonder why the same has not been extended to the speakerphone. The music player supports all formats. The earphones that come with the phone are of ok quality.

Micromax X600 Camera and Image Quality

The phone has a basic 2 MP camera with no flash or any other feature. The photo resolution of 1600x1200 pixels is quite decent but the camera quality is so poor that you would not want to take photos from it.

The video quality on the phone is very poor and we recommend that you use it only for emergency purposes.
