Though it can be argued that the price is reason enough to purchase this handset; the Micromax Ninja 4 A87 comes loaded with a range of features that can compete with more expensive handsets currently available on the market. The Micromax Ninja 4 A87 comes loaded with Android v2.3 (Gingerbread), and is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm processor that should be enough for this handset to run smoothly. The brand has bundled a 1400mAh battery along with the handset. It claims that it features a talk time of around 5 hours or a stand-by time of approximately 175 hours. The handset is available in three colour options, which should suit most users’ preferences.
