Micromax A88 Canvas Music Review
Score: 45.4 / 100
Micromax A88 Canvas Music is a not so powerful Android cellphone, which counts with a fast 1000 megahertz Dual-Core CPU, a medium 4.5-inches touch-screen, and two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front camera.
This cellphone's thickness (0.44") is quite far from current standards, but it still feels comfortable in the hand. Micromax onlymade this cellphone in color black.
Micromax packed this phone with a good level 4.5-inches display, and a 854 x 480 resolution, giving this cellphone a nice graphical experience. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.
This device comes with a good performance 1 gigahertz Dual-Core processor, bundled in a MediaTek MT6577 system chip with 512 MB of RAM. To handle graphic intensive games and apps, it also counts with a PowerVR SGX531 graphic processing unit working at 200 megahertz. This cellphone counts with a decent 4 GB internal storage, which is enough for the vast majority of users considering that it also has an SD memory slot to store songs, pictures and videos.
This phone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front side camera. It is also able to shoot 1280x720 HD videos. To complete the camera, it also includes flash.
This cellphone offers Wi-Fi connectivity (although it can't be provided to other devices around, as a mobile mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSPA and EDGE technologies. The Micromax A88 Canvas Music supports dual sim cards so it's able to work with two different carriers or phone lines at the same time.
This cellphone uses a 1800 mAh mid capacity battery that provides this cellphone a below average battery durationcompared to other cellphones. Micromax informs a 5 hours talk time and a 260 hs stand by time for this phone.
This phone also comes with a few nice characteristics like Bluetooth (4.0), GPS and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music is not cheap at all considering it is sold for $ 249, and other similar phones are being sold for much less than that.
