Spice Smart Flo Poise Mi 451 is priced at just Rs 5,499.

SummarySmart Flo Poise is a good buy for user who wants a not-so-expensive, good-looking Android smartphone.

The Spice Smart Flo Poise Mi 451 is an affordable smartphone aimed at the youth. The phone sports a 1.3 GHz Dual Core processor and is powered by Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2, but still costs just Rs 5,499. Will such a phone be good enough? Read on.

We would have preferred a grey-ish finish, or anything darker for that matter. The large battery makes it heavier than other phones its size. The power button and the volume rocker rest on the left of the handset.
