CSL Slim Mi410: Cheap and powerful Android smartphone (Short Preview + Review)

Last week, I happened to get my hand on demo unit of CSL Slim Mi410 (a.k.a. Spice Mi410), a smartphone running on the popular Google Android OS. I am pretty excited with this phone, simply because it's one of the power-packed smartphone below RM1,000 price tag.





CSL Slim Mi410 is one of the latest smartphone to be added to the CSL's Android smartphone family. It is manufactured by Foxconn (the factory that assembles Apple's iPhone), with the codename of Foxconn FB400. Foxconn also OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) this phone to other famous hand phone maker such as:
  • Motorola TRIUMPH
  • Huawei U9000 IDEOS X6
  • Viewsonic Viewpad 4
  • Cherry Mobile Magnum HD A400
  • Spice Mi-410



Some of the major features of CSL Slim Mi410:
  • Android 2.3.4 OS (Gingerbread)
  • GSM 900/1800, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, 3G, WiFi,
  • Qualcomm 1GHz processor (Snapdragon), Adreno 205 GPU
  • 512MB RAM / 2GB ROM
  • 4.1" TFT Capacitive TouchScreen (480x800 pixels)
  • 5MP camera (with autofocus), LED flash, 720p HD video recording
  • Accelerometer (Gravity) sensor + Proximity sensor + GPS (with A-GPS support) + Digital compass + Ambient light sensor
  • Li-ion 1400 mAH
  • Bluetooth 3.0 HS


I had the luck to test it out that day, and my comment:
  • Interface is quick and snappy. No lagging during my entire encounter with it
  • The colour is vibrant and nice (there are reports about this device's screen having 262K colours instead of 16 million colours, this one I can't confirm)
  • 4.1" screen is really a luxury (for a below RM1,000 Android phone. You can't find another phone with this big screen at this low price)
  • MapKing GPS software is included (no need to fork out more $ to buy GPS software, which is always absent in other Android smartphone)
  • Overall design is solid, though a bit heavy at 143g (due to it's having metal casing).
  • CSL does generously offers HDMI cable, car charger, handsfree (earphone) and 4GB memory card inside the box at no extra charges!

If only I can get a review unit from CSL!! haha...


You can get more information about CSL Slim Mi410 from the below websites:


This is definitely one of the killer phone for below RM1,000 market. Currently, CSL is running a promotion for CSL Slim Mi410 at only RM799. A quick search over Google returns that this phone initially sell at RM1,399. At RM799, having a 1GHz CPU + 4.1" Screen + manufactured by Foxconn seems a pretty good deal, if not GREAT!
