Hi there this is chintu and today i'll be doing the review for this CANVAS 5 which is sort of a midrange entry level android device from MICROMAX. And this unit sells in India for Rs.11, 000 APPROXIMATELY and is available both on amazon, flipkart and many other online and offline retail stores. And I have been testing this device since last couple of weeks now.
And before I give you my review, pros and cons of this device lets have a specs overview:
Mediatek MT6753(64bit)
1.3ghz octacore(cortex A53)
3GB RAM
5” 1080p HD IPS screen
MALI-T720MP3 GPU
16GB Internal storage
Dual sim with Micro SD card upto 64GB
13MP Rear+ 5MP front
2900mAh Battery
OVERVIEW: Canvas 5 is powered by the new Mediatek MT6753 chipset which is a octa core processor based on ARM cortex A53 architecture. It sports a 5” 1080p screen, it has the Mali t720MP3 GPU along with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of Internal memory and an expandability with Micro SD card up to 64GB. Camera is paired with 13MP back and 5MP front shooter. It also has a Fingerprint Scanner and a 2900mAh Battery which is sealed inside.
REVIEW: Canvas 5 comes with very decent specs and has that new Mediatek chipset. I would not say that the new Mediatek MT6753 chipset is vastly superior to its younger sibling MT6752 but it doesn’t get as hot as its predecessor used to and the battery life is also very good. The build quality and over all seems to be pretty solid as it is made up of metal and glass. And the full metal unibody design does provide good grip to the hand. And at this price it’s a good buy.
CONS:
The MICROMAX UI is quite bloaty and heavy which makes the phone a bit slow at times.
The loudspeaker is a bit tiny.
The rear camera performance under low and artificial lighting turns out to be quite poor.
At this price 3GB RAM could have been better as RAM Management is not that good in the phone.
And also there is the lack of some sensors in the device like gyroscope and magnetometer.
At this price there is no support for USB OTG Functionality which is a shame for any device at this price point.
PROS:
Battery life from the 2900mAh cell is nothing short of incredible as I only needed to charge the device once in every 1 to 1.5 days even after heavy use.
The 1080p display is a gorgeous one with excellent viewing angles.
The Mediatek chipset makes the phoneperform a bit smooth in most cases.
The gaming performance is just as smooth as butter in most cases.
The build quality is decent.
Very nice in hand feel.
The cellular call quality is also excellent and the calls were crystal clear. P.S. Hope this review was helpful to you if any doubts feel free to leave them in the comment section below. I’ll be glad to answer you guys. THANK YOU
