have a nice day, bye

With the huge success of the Superfone

Canvas A100 , Micromax has decided to do

raise the bar once again for what a sub-10K

Android smartphone should look like. With

the same massive 5-inch screen making a

comeback, they’ve managed to fit in a dual-

core CPU this time – all for the same price as

the previous one. Too good to be true?

Design and Build

The Canvas 2 A110 once again borrows many

design cues from the Galaxy Nexus. The

chrome trim along the side is shaped in such

a way so as to create an illusion of a curved

glass. You get a nice chunky volume rocker on

one side along with a power/sleep button on

the other side. The phone appears larger than

it actually is due to thick bezels on either

side. There is a row of sensors beside the

chrome plated earpiece and the back cover is

quite sturdy and doesn’t scratch easily. The

matt finish helps keep fingerprints away. The

8MP shooter produces quite a bulge at the

back so you need to be careful as the lens

cover will scratch easily.

The 5-inch LCD display has quite a low

resolution of 854 x 480 which makes images,

icons, etc. lose their sharpness. The screen

doesn’t appear to be of a very good quality

either as the viewing angles are pretty poor

and there’s terrible banding throughout. We

now know where Micromax has cut corners in

order to offer this phone at the same price

point.

Overall, the Canvas 2 is built well but is too

bulky and quite heavy as well. We could have

done without the chrome trim along the

edges which quite frankly, gives the phone a

cheap look. But then again, it is a cheap

phone so there’s that. Unfortunately, the

placement of the microSD card does not

allow for hot-swap as the battery gets in the

way.

Features

Interface

The Canvas 2 A110 sticks to the stock

interface of Android Ice Cream Sandwich for

the most part, except for some changes to

the notification bar, where we now have side-

scrollable toggle switches. The UI is far from

smooth though, which is a bit strange when

you consider the fact that it’s powered by a

dual-core CPU. It all makes sense when you

take a closer look at the type of SoC used.

Instead of a Qualcomm or TI OMAP,

Micromax has used the MT6577 SoC from

MediaTek. This comprises of a dual-core 1GHz

Cortex-A9 CPU and PowerVR GPU. This SoC is

specifically designed for the sub-$200

smartphone segment and has the potential to

support up to 720p displays and record

videos at 1080p. Unfortunately, Micromax

has not exploited its full potential, which is

why we have to live with lag in the UI.

Another important feature that’s missing is an

ambient light sensor.

Other than the stock UI and apps, Micromax

has added a SIM management option to set

the default card for call, messages, Internet,

etc. Both SIMs can be active at the same time

if needed. Another feature added is a

scheduled power off option, which lets you

switch the phone on or off at a designated

time and day of the week.
