Design and Display
Not to be an harbinger of bad review, but the Micromax Bharat 2 Ultra smartphone’s design is not smart in anyway. The smartphone despite being a portable one still has big chunks of bezels above and especially below where it features offscreen capacitive touch navigation buttons.
There’s also a very much low grade display that comes with ultra low budget resolution. Besides being a small screen of about 4.0-inches, the Micromax Bharat 2 Plus has a 480 X 800 pixel display.
Battery and Camera
Even down to the battery a small Li-ion battery of about 1, 300mAh capacity powers up the Micromax Bharat 2 Ultra smartphone. Although the smartphone has low specs and a low display which would weigh less on the battery. Still what is featured here is somewhat on a low scale.
For taking pictures, you don’t have much of a camera to snap with. On the rear side, there is a 2MP camera with flash which is way lower than what you have in some other budget smartphones. A 0.3MP camera if still used at all would be as a secondary camera in a dual camera setup, however, that’s what you have as the sole front camera on the Micromax Bharat 2 Ultra.
Hardware and Software
For the hardware, Micromax features a meagre performing SoC from Spreadtrum. Albeit this is not new in this category of smartphones, it is still under-performing by today’s standards. That being said there’s a Spreadtrum SC9832 from the days of yore running at 1.3GHz
In segue, the smartphone only has 512MB internal memory and a 4GB built-in storage. You could however expand the storage space up to 32GB using memory card. Micromax Bharat 2 Plus also runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS from the box.
Micromax Bharat 2 Ultra Price and Availability

In India you could purchase the smartphone for Rs 999 by paying Rs 2, 899 as a security deposit and then you will be given a refund of Rs 1, 999 after 3 years provided you meet a requirement of at least Rs 150 recharge per month on Vodafone for that period.
