Micromax A72 Canvas VIVA Review
Score: 42.2 / 100
Micromax A72 Canvas VIVA is a low level phone, including a 3 megapixels back camera, a fast 1000 MHz CPU and a pretty big 5 inches multi-touch capacitive screen.
Micromax decided to build this cellphone with a MediaTek MT6515M chip, holding a fast processing unit clocking at 1 gigahertz with 512 MB of RAM memory. This cellphone comes with a 112,64 MB internal storage, a little quantity that may be adequate for some basic users considering that it also has an external memory card slot to store pictures and videos and even some games and apps that allow external memory installation.
This cellphone is quite a compact phone, considering it features a 5" display and it is just 5.62" long and 2.99" wide. The Micromax A72 Canvas VIVA's thickness (0.42 inches) is a little far from current standards, but it still feels fine in the hand. This cellphone is for sale in 2 different color options, black and blue. This time, it seems like Micromax didn't care about the weight in this 6.56 oz device.
Micromax equipped the Micromax A72 Canvas VIVA with a good level 5-inches display, and a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes everything look quite good. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
This cellphone offers wifi connection (which it can share with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G connection type, using EDGE technologies. This cellphone has two SIM cards to be able to to use two different phone lines or carriers in the same phone.
This phone is only equipped with a 3 mega-pixels back side camera.
This phone uses a medium 2000 mAh battery that can keep it running for some hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. According to Micromax, this cellphone has an aproximate talk time of 7 hs and a stand by time of 280 hours.
This phone also comes with a few cool features such as Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Localization and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This cellphone is very overpriced considering it is priced 155 dollars, and other similar phones can be found for much less money.
