The Aura is designed for those looking for a handset that caters to their tastes and not just features.Exclusivity and the fact that it’s a work of art aside,the big question is the Aura really worth its Rs . 1,11,492 price tag?

Form Factor

The Aura is the first and only hand set to have a full 1.5 inch circular display that employs 16 million colors,480 pixels in diameter and a 300 dpi resolution.This stunning display is safely nestling behind scratch-resistant 62 carat sapphire crystal.

Features ans Performance

The Aura is just a fancy phone that is designed with a very unique blend of materials,as mentioned,a sophisticated look and feel and one of the most brilliant displays we have ever seen.

Interface

Although the UI has been designed to suite the round display its horribly sluggish most of the time.Multitasking is difficult.With the audio player on in the background typing a simple message became a cumbersome task because the auto-complete feature lags far behind.

Audio and Video

The bundled earphone are proprietary so you cant use your own,They are reasonably comfortable to use but the audio output from the handset was just too low.For manipulating the sound,Motorola has included a set of EQ presets.All the settings,if accurately applied to your taste will no doubt,enhance the audio quality for you.

Connectivity

The Aura supports Edge and GPRS.Its a pity that they couldnt fit Wi-Fi even 3G in the budget.The handset also supports Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and A2DP.
