What this hardware actually means
Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.
Platform & performance positioning
The micromax Micromax A79 is built around the MT6572, a budget SoC from MediaTek. It launched in 2013 on a TSMC 28nm process. Dual-core ultra-budget SoC; the bottom rung of the early-2010s Android stack.
Legacy. Not usable for modern apps.
Day-to-day workload
0.5 GB LPDDR2 of RAM is tight for 2026 standards — usable for the basics but limits modern app behavior. Display resolution is 800x480.
Trust & buying notes
If you're cross-checking a phone advertised as a micromax Micromax A79, the fields most worth verifying are: Build.MANUFACTURER lowercase-equal to "micromax"; Build.SOC_MODEL set (Android 12+) and consistent with MT6572.
