Micromax has been on a roll recently with the launch of its Micromax Ninja 4 A87.

The Micromax A25 will be available for purchase on the retail website Saholic at 4 AM tomorrow, and shipping is free. Consumers who choose to purchase this handset will receive it within four days with an option to pay cash on delivery.

The Smarty A25 comes pre-loaded with the Hook Up chat app

The Micromax A25 is a dual-SIM phone that packs in a decently powerful 1GHz processor along with 256MB of RAM. The phone features many pre-loaded apps, including Micromax’s own Hook Up app that allows you to chat with your friends using the internet. The phone also packs in a gravity sensor that allows you to play some games that use motion control and a 1280 mAh battery that has a quoted standby time of 180 hours.

Ever heard of one of those people who just never seem to shut up about something? Shunal is like the nerd equivalent of that guy. Believe us when we say that he can go on talking about games and smartphones for hours on end. We do manage to find some insight in his insane ramblings though, and through his moronic facade, he does seem to know more than he lets on. Sadly enough, it always ends up being about gaming with him. Or stupid, stupid puns.
