MICROMAX CANVAS 4

Micromax after strengthening its hold on the smart phone market in india through the success stories of the Canvas 2 A110 and Canvas HD recently launched its much awaited smart phone , the Canvas 4 which is expected to write yet another success story for micromax at the price of rupees 18, 000 which is not really justified due to certain drawbacks of the otherwise a very good smartphone

AT A GLANCE

A 5 inch 720p IPS display , MediaTek quad core CPU , 1 GB RAM , 16 GB of inbuilt memory , a 13 megapixel camera and vanilla android 4.2 jelly bean the smart phone has a a lot to offer specially to the young college or high school lads . However , the expectations on the hardware front were much more from this much awaited gadget of the successful canvas series

DESIGN

The design of the Canvas 4 is a certain improvement to that of the Canvas HD however , if the build is better and much more attractive than the other smart phones is subjective . Eventhough the addition of the aluminium side is good but the plastic back plays a spoilsport. The front of the Canvas 4 is a replica of its predecessor – 5 inch display with three buttons at the bottom .The device is still a fingerprint magnet .The design maintains a form factor that is appreciable but given its price the build should have been much better

The micromax 4 runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean giving the users access to the lock screen apps and other jelly bean goodies . Apart from the android features and access to google play store users would also have access to a bunch of micromax specific apps . There is also a games hub on the Canvas 4 , giving the users access to games that they can download and M! live gives access to the local Indian content.

Along with many other features that comes with canvas 4, the one which we are familiar with – Pause on Look Away , which will pause the video when you turn away , and then Resume when you returns .
What is an interesting feature in the Micromax Canvas 4 is the new way of unlocking the screen . The screen can be unlocked by blowing on the display or by shaking phone

Another addition to the Canvas 4 is that now the touch screen can even be accessed with gloves on . And not to forget the camera of canvas 4 is really appreciable and can be used to click for parties and gatherings to deliver perfect pictures .

SUMMARY

Overall it’s a good phone with crisp display , smooth multitasking and the added software features work well . What goes against the phone is that the built could have been much better , being a quad core phone worth 18000 performance has room for improvement and for those who wish to play Real Racing 3 it won’t work . So it brings us to the conclusion that before spending Rs.18000 here one should look for better alternatives in
