PROS

  • Fast processor
  • Android Jelly Bean
  • Affordable price
CONS
  • Camera bug
  • Battery back up


Micromax has tasted amazing success with its Canvas A110 smartphone. Now it has afresh launched an upgraded adaptation of the phone, alleged Canvas HD A116. The Micromax Canvas A116 is in actuality the aboriginal cloister amount processor buzz to be appear beneath Rs 15,000. The handset comes with absorbing blueprint such as Android Jelly Bean operating system, a cloister amount processor, 1 GB RAM, 8 megapixel rear camera etc.
Feature wise, it does not accept a bout for this price. Such was its acceptance that it was awash out aural hours of launch, and those who wish to get it now can alone book it and achievement that they get it in 20 days. The buzz is priced at Rs 13,990 but does it accomplish according to its features? Here is a review.


At aboriginal sight, it is harder to accept that this is a Micromax handset. The buzz comes with a agleam yet non-slippery aback panel. Besides, Micromax has placed the 8 megapixel camera on a aloft belvedere on the aback panel, which added enhances the attending of the handset. The aback console is aswell hardly slanted appear the top and lower edges, which gives the Canvas A116 a actual ample shape. There is a metal band that surrounds the affectation from all four sides, attention it while authoritative it attending good. The ability button and aggregate rockers are aswell able-bodied placed on the appropriate and larboard sides, respectively. The micro USB anchorage and 3.5 mm jack are placed on the top end.
The body is of best quality. The artificial aback console feels solid and acceptable in the hands.


Display

The Micromax Canvas A116 comes with a 5 inch awning with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. Not abounding smartphones beneath Rs 14,000 appear with top analogue displays, so hats off to Micromax. Also, the awning is an IPS panel; authoritative it conceivably one of the few handsets in the sub-Rs 15,000 articulation to accept it.


Thanks to the HD resolution, pictures and videos attending abundant on the phone. The IPS console aswell creates a abundant examination angle. Touch acknowledgment of Micromax Canvas A116 is aswell great.


Performance

The Micromax Canvas HD A116 comes with a cloister amount processor with 1.2 GHz clockspeed. To aid the processor, there is 1 GB RAM and Android Jelly Bean operating arrangement as well.


The aggregate is artlessly alarming and Canvas A116 is conceivably the aboriginal to accept it in this amount segment. Thanks to the cloister amount processor and 1 GB RAM, amateur run with the accuracy that I accept begin alone in handsets aloft Rs 25,000. It is aswell astonishing to see 1 GB RAM in a account smartphone, which acts as per expectations. There were a few amateur that I acclimated to anticipate can be played alone in top end devices, but accept me you can play cartoon accelerated amateur like Shadowgun Dead Zone and Blood and Glory etc on this accessory as well.


Micromax not alone deserves a pat in the aback for installing Jelly Bean operating system, but it has aswell provided the latest Android 4.1.2 operating arrangement version, which is currently accessible for alone a few smartphones. In fact, on the AnTuTu benchmark, Canvas A116 denticulate 12630, which is even added than Samsung Galaxy Note's 10290 points.


Camera

Canvas HD A116 has an 8 megapixel rear camera with LED beam while in the foreground rests a 2 megapixel camera. The auto focus rear camera can abduction top analogue videos as well. However, the camera is not something to avowal about. Like abounding account phones, the camera's auto focus is way out of sync.


There seems to be a bug in the camera app as able-bodied that prevents it from aperture abounding a times. We do not beggarly that the camera is abortive though. The 8 megapixel camera comes with a nice user interface and is able to abduction images as well.


Battery

The Canvas HD A116 comes with a 2000 mAh battery, which Micromax says provides 5 hours of talktime and 174 hours of standby time. We did not acquisition any aberration from the claimed talktime either. For instance, it absent 40 per cent of its allegation from 85 per cent to 45 per cent, during which we played amateur on the buzz for about 45 account and acclimated the actual time for watching videos on YouTube.


Of course, even the claimed talktime is not that abundant but because that the accessory has a cloister amount processor, you should not be allurement for 10 hours of talktime.

Other highlights
Canvas A116 has 1.77 GB of centralized memory. Also, one can add up to 32 GB on a micro SD card. The buzz has all the sensors like adjacency sensor, motion sensor, force sensor and ablaze sensor. And added importantly, all the sensors plan well.


Connectivity astute also, the Canvas A116 is absolutely rich. It has the avant-garde Bluetooth 4.0 as able-bodied as USB 2.0. Besides, it has WiFi, GPS, a 3.5 mm jack etc.


Conclusion

Micromax Canvas HD A116 is a absolutely adorable handset, both affection astute as able-bodied as in agreement of performance. I accept not enjoyed my amateur and videos any added on a smartphone that costs beneath than Rs 15,000 as I did on this handset.


Of course, it is absurd to analyze the Canvas HD A116 with top end phones like the HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy SIII. But because its amount and performance, I would acclaim it to anyone who can absorb Rs 14,000 on an Android smartphone.
