{Design & Build Quality}
Karbonn Sparkle V is excellent in built quality and feel very comfortable to hold the phone. The matte rubber finish on the rear with curved edges somewhat like Nexus 5, gives the phone a premium look and classy look. The volume and power keys are on the right, microUSB charging port at the bottom and 3.5mm headphone jack on top. On the rear, you have to pay attention with the camera glass when you put phone on any surface, it tends to get scratches easily.

{Camera}
Sparkle V has a 5MP autofocus primary camera with an LED flash that is capable of recording full HD videos. On the front is a 2MP camera that can record 720p HD videos. In our usage, the 5MP rear camera was fast to focus and took good quality images indoors. The front camera tends to have noise when taking pics in low light condition, it’s good for taking selfie’s in brighter light condition. You can also relish video chatting via applications like Skype, WeChat &Hangouts etc.
