**Unboxing the Carbon A1**
I'm here to unbox this new Android ICS based phone from Carbon and let's see what it has in store for us. As you can see, it comes with a Micro SD card slot, which is always a good sign. So, I'll add that over here so that it goes into like this. Let's also put the SIM card in, which fits perfectly as expected. Now, let's put back the back cover of the phone, and to my surprise, it's made up of plastic. Not exactly what you'd expect from a high-end Android device.
**Powering On**
Let's see if we can power on this phone now. I'll just press the power button here, and... yes! It boots up pretty quickly. And as you can see, the specs listed on the box are 437 watts per kg, which is actually quite good. Now, let's check the boot animation - it's that old ICS style animation we've seen before from Carbon phones.
**Setting Up the Phone**
Now that it's booted up, let's set up the phone. It took about 2 to 3 minutes to complete the setup process, which is pretty quick. We get five home screens - 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. They all look very similar to a stock Android experience.
**Checking the Settings**
Let's take a look at the settings. As you can see, we have this quick toggle tray that's always available in the bottom left corner of the screen. We also have the Android version - out of the box, it comes with Android 4.0.4. The screen looks pretty nice and is quite bright.
**Gestures**
I still don't get the point of these manufacturers releasing new Android ICS based phones with touch-type buttons at the bottom home, menu, back, and search. It's just not a feature that many users appreciate.
**Browsing the Internet**
Let's fire up the browser before that. As you can see, we have this default storage setting that divides it into two parts - system space (581 MB) and internal storage (2.5 GB). And yes, you can also add a Micro SD card to increase the storage space.
**Display Settings**
Let's take a look at the display settings. Yes, we do have auto-brightness, which is activated by a built-in sensor that detects changes in lighting conditions.
**Benchmarks and Performance**
Let's fire up the web browser now and try to go to tech.com. The screen looks good if you look directly at it, but not exactly an IPS great screen because when I tilt this screen a little bit more, the image starts fading slightly. Let's open up a story and see... it loaded quickly and fine.
**Testing the Video Player**
Let's try playing back a video that's embedded within this web page. The volume rocker lets me increase the volume, and we can hear the audio clearly without any issues. I also tried to play back another video by searching for "giki ranit" on YouTube... it loaded in high quality mode with no issues.
**Additional Features**
Let's check what else comes pre-installed on this phone. We have FM radio, Kingston Office is also pre-installed apart from that WhatsApp is there, vat is there, POI, and NextGen TV. Let's fire up the YouTube app and search for "carbon A1" to see if it plays the video created by Carbon. The video opens in high quality mode with no issues.
**Final Thoughts**
That's all for now for this quick unboxing of the Carbon A1. If you have any particular questions regarding this phone, feel free to let me know in the comment section below. I'll be doing a standard benchmarking process and testing more features on this phone in my next video, so stay tuned!
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is ranit from tas.com and in this video we're going to do the unboxing for this carbon a21 Android phone and uh it's a 1.2 GHz Android phone but it's

at some of the specs it says it has 18800 mamp battery and I believe the screen is a 4.5 in screen and uh here the pricing for the same quoted here is 11,900 but fisel Communications quoted me a street price of around 9,800 for this phone and before opening the seal I want to thank fil Communications for providing this unit for review so let me break the seal and let's see what comes inside this first we get the handset itself so let me take it it out and we get some IMI stickers let me keep that out and let's see what else do we get in the Box we also get a screen guard that's nice we
