Maxx Mobile AX356 GenxDroid7 is possibly one of the most forgettable names for an Androidsmartphone that we’ve come across of late. Not to sound like we’re slagging off a device just because it’s low-end, but can you look around and actually claim that a price of Rs 3696 is reasonable for a JellyBean powered device?

We’re seeing more and more new launches landing with KitKat in spite of their ridiculously low costs and dropping a handset like the AX356 GenxDroid7 handset into the mix isn’t the best move Maxx Mobile could have made. After all, a lot of Indian manufacturers show themselves to be rather lazy when it boils down to software updates.

So we won’t expect the Maxx GenxDroid7 to get its Android KitKat break until it actually arrives even if the company says that the smartphone is upgradable from Jelly Bean. From another point of view, if you were just buying this one as a temporary backup device and took an inexplicable fancy to it, we could see why you’d pick it up.

Running on Android v4.2.2, this Maxx Mobile smartphone sports a 3.5-inch display spewing out visuals in a low 320 x 480p resolution. It gets its processing power from a 1GHz dual core MT6572M chipset from MediaTek and is helped along by 512MB of RAM. A 1200mAh battery keeps it juiced up for 3.5 hours of talk time between charges.

Maxx Mobile AX356 GenxDroid7 specs list:

- 3.5-inch 320 x 480p touchscreen

- 512MB of RAM, 4GB ROM
