With big screen phones, popularly known as phablets, gaining prominence,
and the increasing demand for budget alternatives, Micromax decided to
upgrade its Canvas line-up, within two months of launching its first
5-inch phone, the A100. The successor to the A100, the A110 or Canvas 2
features a Dual Core processor, an IPS panel, and an upgraded
8-megapixel camera. Here's our review of the device.
Hardware
The
front of the phone looks strikingly similar to the Samsung Galaxy S III
and the Note II, except for the absence of a physical home button. The
chrome speaker grill, front camera and sensors are positioned similar to
that of the Note 2. There are markings for three capacitive touch
buttons below the display. There's no Micromax branding on the front of
the phone. There's a chrome trim around the phone that was a little too
shiny for our liking. On the right side, there's a big power key, while
the volume rocker sits on the left hand side. Both these keys also
sport a chrome finish, but kind of lack refinement, in our opinion. The
Micro-USB port and the 3.5mm audio ports sit on the top of the phone.
The back cover is made of plastic and has a matte finish. The material
used feels durable, and offers a good grip. The camera lens, however,
protrudes out towards the top, and feels awkward. There's a dual LED
flash besides the camera. The back also sports Micromax branding and a
speaker.In terms of hardware, the device is powered by a 1GHz
dual-core processor with 512MB RAM, and has 4GB internal storage
expandable up to 32GB with microSD card.
