Design
This is the best we have seen in Canvas Turbo than any other Canvas series. They have added a metallic cover which looks solid than a standard plastic cover. With a dimension of 5.05 x 2.80 x 0.34 inch, it feels much balanced and more compact than their preceding series.
Display
Finally, we get to see a Full HD display from Micromax. With a resolution of 1920 x 1080 bringing in a wonderful 441ppi pixel density, the screen looks pleasing but Micromax still has to improve their color saturation and brightness levels .It has pretty good viewing angles. We were also a bit disappointed that they didn’t have a gorilla class protection.
Hardware:
Powered by 1.5GHz Quad core processor from MediaTek Cortex-A7 (MTK 6589T) and a GPU of SGX544 is better but not the best. When it comes to playing games, it can play casual games with ease but when it comes to high-end games Like MC5, Riptide2,Real Racing 3 etc. we can see some lag and dropped frame rates.
It has a 2GB of RAM which is admirable. It has a 16GB of internal memory but there is no external SD which is, in fact, disappointing.
Camera:
The rear camera is 13 MP with autofocus supported which can record 1080p video at 30 fps. It has 5 MP front camera mostly used for HD video chat. The day light performance of the camera is very good and low light performance is also quite decent.
Software:
The Micromax canvas turbo offers a jellybean 4.2.1 out of the box, which is almost stock android. There isn’t much customization like in Samsung mobiles. The interface is clean, snappy and fast.
Pros:
- Better Build quality and design
- Full HD display
- Cost Effective
Cons:
- Average Gaming Performance
- 2000mah battery might not be enough compared to its 5-inch display.
- No Micro SD card slot.
