The Micromax Canvas 2 was a great hit in the market, it was a smartphone which was capable of doing a great job. Micromax has made a new great phone which is the A116 Canvas HD. The phone was launched on 14 February at Rs. 13,990 and was sold out within a day because of limited stocks. The phone has an HD capable screen.
Micromax Canvas HD shares the design language with its predecessor, Canvas 2. It looks decent and fits quite easily in the hand. However, we were disappointed by the overall build quality because the plastic casing on back creaks a little when pushed little hard, but it is not something you are likely to notice during normal usage. Nevertheless, do not expect it to survive a hard fall without any damage.
The phone's front panel is black, while the plastic used in the rear is white; this is the only colour option currently. As usual, the standard sensors and secondary camera are above the display, whereas the three touch-sensitive keys are below it. On the left is the volume rocker and the Power/Lock key is on the right; both the keys are placed quite conveniently, so you have no issue reaching them while using the device with one hand. On top, you will find the microUSB port and earphone jack, while the mic is placed at the bottom. The back of the device sports the primary camera, LED flash, speakers and the manufacturer's logo.
