Micromax canvas dudal 4. Review on Micromax Q391 Canvas Doodle 4

You can only

consider a phone’s

looks after it

performs well, and

this is where the

Doodle 4 failed

badly.

Performance

lagged, and after a

point, it was really

hard to find

reasons to

recommend it to

anyone. Here’s

looking at

Micromax Canvas

Doodle 4, in more

detail.

Build and Design:

The front of the

Micomax Canvas

Doodle 4 tries to

emulate a bezel-

less design, with

parts of the glass

touching both left

and right edges

but the actual

display safely

flanked by bezels

under the

glass. The brushed

metal plastic band

running around the

sides houses the

headphone port on

the top, the power

and volume

buttons on the

right side and the

USB/charging port

at the bottom. The

matte plastic back

features the

camera and flash

(which has been

moved to the

centre rather than

the top-left corner,

as in Canvas

Doodle 3), the

engraved

Micromax logo and

the speaker.

Although the

metal-looking

plastic band does

add a bit of form

and style to the

device, it is

otherwise a very

average design.

Build quality is

decent, but lacks

the premium factor

of more expensive

phones with metal

builds. The front

functionality

buttons have large

indicators, which

look somewhat

low-end. The large

display makes the

phone feel very

large, and as

mentioned earlier,

the bezel-less

appearance

dissipates once

the screen is

turned on, with a

run-of-the-mill 6-

inch display bound

by black borders.

Display and

Usability:

The 6-inch display

is protected by

Corning Gorilla

Glass 3, and runs

at a resolution of

960x540 pixels at

184 dpi, making it

rather

unimpressive. The

large size coupled

with the low

resolution makes

videos and images

appear flat, and

colours lack

warmth. The colour

tone has more blue

and lacks red

tones. The display,

overall, lacks

sharpness. Viewing

angles are decent,

and there is not

much colour shift

even at very acute

angles. The low

resolution and lack

of brightness,

however,

make the display

below average,

and also reduce

sunlight visibility.
