Specification and details of Micromax Canvas 4 mobile phone.

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.

In 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.

But if you compare this phone with Samsung Grand, it is definitely much better at this price (only if you are not a brand conscious.

This phone is really good. It is good for those who are interested in photography, in the gaming, music for everything, it meet your need.

Price: MRP: Rs. 17999


On infibeam : 17099

The Mobile Store: 17990

Since this is just launched, I suggest to wait for few days. When it will be available on other stores, you may be able to save more money. 

Specification


Processor Core
1.2 GHz Quad Core
The quadra core makes this phone much faster for using application, video, game and multi function

RAM
1 GB
The RAM is lesser, it should have been at least 2 GB

RAM type
LP DDR2
This is one of the best feature this phone has. LP (Low Power) DDR2 RAM consumes around 87% less power compared to DDR3 RAM and also it is faster.

Internal memory
16 GB out of which 2.4 GB is already utilise for APPS and rest 10 GB available for other usage
The internal memory is sufficient considering the need.

External Memory
32 GB Micro SD card


Screen size
5"
The larger screen side is good for reading, video watching and photo purpose.

Screen display type
HD, IPS display 16.7 Million, 1920*1080p
It is better than the 1080p and defines it as a full HD mobile phone for better picture and video quality.

Operating System
Android 4.2.1
This is the latest android OS hence good. It can support all the new OS being developed and it has a better interface.

Rear camera
5 MP with FF
The rear camera is mainly used for video call and video chat. 5 MP camera 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 at wi-fi network and 3G network. 5 MP of Micromax means around 2 MP of brands like Sony and Samsung.

Back camera
13 MP 5 lns array with auto focus


Camera Function
Bottom to top panorama, 6+ face detection, Scene mode, 99 Continuous (Burst) mode, Smile detection, Photosolid, High Dynamic Range Synthesis, 4 direction Panorama, Effects
The 13 MP camera is good enough for picture, as it is loaded with various function like from bottom to top panorama function, it helps to shoot picture of tall buildings and bigger scenes. The BSI function also helps in getting better picture in low light condition.

Video type
HD
Better picture quality,

GPU
 PowerVR 5XT 
This is the lower power consuming Graphic Processing Unit processor, good for gaming and better video experience.

Screen resolution
720 x 1280 at 294ppi
This resolution is similar of Samsung Galaxy S4

Corning Goriila Glass
Yes
Considering the people who are using mobile phone a lot and travelling, this Forilla Glass is good as it protects screen from scratches.

Battery capacity
2000 mAh
It should have been more however due to LP DDR2 RAM, still it is better.

Battery type
 Li-Ion
Good one

Auto OS upgradation
No
It should have been with an auto upgrade option for future OS

Weight
158 GMS
Not bulky but 28 gms heavier than Samsung Galaxy S4

Video recording
Yes, HD 1920 X 1080 p
One of the best

Video format supported
3GP, MP4, AVI
Not a major issue if it does not support other format, there is always option to download a software from android market

Audio form supported
MP3, MIDI, AAC, AMR, WAV
Not a major issue if it does not support other format, there is always option to download a software from android market

Colours available
Grey, White
They should have come with more colour options.

FM
Yes


Connectivity


3G
HSPA 11 MBPS upload, 42 MBPS download
It is same as of Galaxy S4 however this phone does not support 4G LTE

Bluetooth
4
Good enough

Wi-fi
Yes


4G
No
A drawback

USB
3.0 , 5 PIN
Good enough

SIM type
Dual SIM
Good advantage however the problem with Micromax dual SIM is, sometime, it does not detect the second SIM and always shows “not reachable”

Band
Quadra Band- 900/1800/1900/850 MHz + 2100 MHz
This is the good feature so phone becomes usable in international roaming too.

Sensor
Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, G-Sensor
This is another good advantage as compared similar to Samsung Galaxy S4

Body type
8.99 MM anodized alumunium body
This feature is good as aluminum body act as an antenna and provides better network and connectivity. This is the additional advathae of the phone. Similarly, it helps more in FM connectivity too.  

Other function
Blow to unlock mobile
I do not consider it as a major, desirable function, it is again the proximity function.

Video multifunction: Preview another video when you are watching a video already



Swipe volume control
