Micromax A116 Canvas HD Review
Score: 49.3 / 100
Micromax A116 Canvas HD is a mid-end Android phone launched back in 2013, which features a big 5" multi touch capacitive display, a 1200 megahertz Quad-Core CPU, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera. That's all? Not at all, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
The Micromax A116 Canvas HD ships with a MediaTek MT6589 system chip, which holds a great performance 1200 MHz Quad-Core processor with 1 GB of RAM memory. This phone counts with an average 4 GB internal memory, which is fine knowing that it also has an SD extension slot to store photographs and videos.
This cellphone is just 0 inches long, but it is still able to fit a a 5 inches screen. Micromax sells this cellphone in two different color options, black and white.
This device has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera. This cellphone can also shoot 1280x720 HD videos. The camera also counts with a couple of nice characteristics: flash, geo tagging and auto-focus.
The Micromax A116 Canvas HD is equipped with a interesting 1280 x 720 (HD) 5-inches screen, providing this cellphone with a very good image quality. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.
This device features a medium capacity 2000 mAh Li-Ion battery that provides the Micromax A116 Canvas HD a quite short battery duration comparing with other similar phones. Micromax reports a 174 hs stand by time and a 5 hs talk time for this phone.
The Micromax A116 Canvas HD offers wi-fi connection (which can be shared with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) internet connection, which is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and 3G fast connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone comes with two SIM cards so it's able to work with two different phone lines or carriers at the same time.
The Micromax A116 Canvas HD also features a couple useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices and accessories), GPS Localization and FM Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Gyroscope.
The Micromax A116 Canvas HD is not very cheap considering it costs $ 249, and other similar phones are a lot cheaper than that.
