Online Retailers Asking More For Micromax Canvas Devices

If you are still falling for the Canvas 5-inchers from Micromax, particularly the budget quad-core phone Canvas HD, do cross-check the price of the phone before buying the phone.

After a long wait, finally the Canvas HD has appeared in stores in enough numbers for everyone who wants to buy one. 

Along with the quad-core phone, the company has recently launched its the budget Canvas A72 Viva, which is the best phone available in its price range.

At a few store we have spotted the Canvas A116 HD, A110 Canvas 2 and Canvas A72 Viva at higher prices than their official price. 

At Flipkart especially we found that the store is offering Canvas A116 HD and Canvas 2 at Rs.1500 and Rs.500 more respectively. Infibeam is selling the Canvas A72 Viva at Rs.300 more.

The orignal price of these phones are listed as below:

Micromax A72 Canvas Viva – Rs 6499

Micromax A110 Canvas 2 – Rs 10499

Micromax A116 canvas HD – Rs 14499

Micromax A116 Canvas HD: Hands On

As we have got our hands on this device we feel it very nice and premium in hand and it does look like some HTC devices to some extent. It has many things packed in this device, more than you can expect from a device from this price value. It is a phone which has a lot of demand in india as well as in other countries whom Micromax is serving to. So lets talk about the phone and its features:

The Quad Core Mediatek MT6589 chipset seems more refined in the retail version, and the Canvas HD seems a lot more responsive. Other things include 1 GB Ram, 32 GB expandability and a 4 GB of storage out of which 1.77GB has been assigned to the Int-SD card. so you have 1.77 GB available to spend. The front camera on the Micromax A116 Canvas HD is now a 2 MP shooter and a 8 MP main camera which shoots Full HD video, that is 1080p. The most prominent feature of the Canvas HD is the 720p Display, which is exceptionally bright and viewable outdoors.

If you talk about battery, its battery can run a full day if your usage is less, but if you have more usage it runs over half day. 

The phone can run many premium games like N.O.V.A.3, Asphalt 7,etc. and is suprisingly smooth as far as gaming is concerned.

It is capable of capturing full HD videos but it only make good videos if there is light environment. It shoot fair at night but if you see the video afterwards, it does not seems like its 1080p. But if you shoot in a light environment in morning or afternoon, it is fairly capable of capturing videos.

Well its the best option available to buy in this price range and i personally recommend to buy this phone and enjoy all its features that it come loaded up!

So guys we will come out with a full proper review soon. And we will also upload some videos of this phone. So you guys stay tuned.

Full Review Pending

The Micromax Canvas HD Goes Out Of Stock!

After Micromax had launched the Canvas HD, everyone was attracted like a magnet to it. This phone packs up 1.2 GHz Quad Core processor, 1 GB RAM, 1280x720 Pixel Display and lot more features at only 13990. 

This phone was launched at 14th Feb and it had a sales of about 25 Units every minute. It sold about 9,000-10,000 Units on that day. But i don't understand that after they have got this much sales, why don't they manufacture extra or more phones! 

The Micromax A110 was a great hit but hit was hardly seen in any stores. So we expected that the A116 would not have supply problems and will be easily available. But its not like that. The A116 will come in Indian Retail stores after 25th of Feb. And the one who can give us this phone was the Micromax's Partner, Snap Deal. But there too it is "SOLD OUT". 

I think if Micromax wants to earn a lot of money they have to make a lot of phones and they also have to make them available in every indian store at the release date only. Well never than less, those who have got it are enjoying but those who Haven't are still booking it and waiting for another 20 days to pass on. 

Well for those who haven't got this phone, i want to say you that, "The Fruit Of Patience Is Sweet" So wait for another 20 days and enjoy after your A116 comes and the Delivery man rings your bell!

Xolo A1000 Available Online At Rs 13,999, A Competitor For The Micromax A116

The Lava Xolo A1000 has gone for sale at Rs 13,999. It is a great competitor for the Micromax A116 Canvas HD. The Canvas HD is available in the market for Rs.13,990. So both are at the similar or at the same price. Well I believe that the Micromax is more famous brand than the Lava so there would be more sale of the Canvas HD. But if the Canvas HD goes a hit, there would be one more reason for it which is the Micromax A110. This phone was a great hit in the market, but because of some supply problems of Micromax, this phone was "Rarely" found in any stores. 

The Lava Xolo A1000 sports a 5-inch IPS display that has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The device is powered by a 1GHz MediaTek NT6577 dual-core processor paired with 1GB of RAM and comes with 4GB of internal storage, which can be expanded using a micro-SD card by up to 32GB.

The phablet gets a dual-SIM card slot (GSM + GSM) and houses an 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash along with a 1.2 megapixel front facing camera for video calling. For connectivity, the Lava Xolo A1000 gets Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and USB. The phablet also has a 2,100mAh battery which according to the company, can give a talk time of up to 14 hours on 2G network and 10 hours on 3G network.

Hence, it can compared to the A116 by Micromax and it also have the same sort of specs. But one thing the A116 has and this phone doesn't have is the Quad Core Processor. More ever, since both of the devices are at similar rate, now you have to decide which device to take and spend your money.

Micromax A116 Canvas HD Launch Delayed Till February End!

Well as Micromax A116 was having unbelievable specs and stuffs! I think most of the public after seeing this device specs, have been delayed to take some other phone. But we have got some bad news for you. 

This device launch has been delayed till february end. The reason micromax is giving is that it has been delayed due to the chinese new year, the production has not been that much as they expected. And they also didn't have that much man power due to the festival. So, Micromax didn't wanted to do the same thing that they have done with the Micromax A110. 

That phone had faced many supply problems and is facing it till now! But after the festival will end, we expect that the A116 will not have supply problems. So, we also have some good news. As we told earlier that Micromax will lauch 30 devices this year, they will be launching and unveiling some of their devices after the A116 hits the market. 

So guys we told you some bad news as well as some good news. But guys, don't be upset as many good Micromax phones are coming till march or after it. And if you don't want to wait till then, buy the Samsung Galaxy Grand.
