Hi Friends,
Micromax is gaining popularity and emerging as a market leader in budget smart phone arena. Definitely not comparable with Samsung or Iphone but micromax has given a tough competition to these companies. Now, Micromax holds position as world's 12th largest smartphone company.
To remind again, n this phone, I am not going to compare this phone with Samsung Galaxy S3 or Samsung Galaxy S4 or Iphone. There is no comparison at all and never look for the comparison too. As I suggested in my previous posting, decide your need and check whether this phone match those requirement.
My description and analysis about this phone is unique as instead of doing copy paste, I have gone through technical detail of the phone specification so a common man can also understand the specification and whether he/ she really need it.
When i compared, I found Canvas 4 is best amongst them and Andi 4.7G cobalt is behind in technical specification such as low power RAM, weight and overall design.

The rear camera is mainly used for video call and video chat. 5 MPcamera is more than enough for the purpose. However, if you are using a 2G network, you may not be able to use the skype or similar video calling function. However, it is good if you use atwi-finetwork and 3G network. 5 MP ofMicromaxmeans around 2 MP of brands like Sony and Samsung.
