Micromax A110 Canvas 2

When it comes to budget smartphones In India, The Micromax Canvas 2 is the leading handset. It has a big 5 inch Display of 854x480 pixels, 8MP Autofocus Camera with 720p@30fps video shooting, front facing VGA Camera and a rather big but easy to hold design if you have large hands.
Moving into inside, It was launched with Android 4.0.4 ICS but it has been upgraded to 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. It is powered by a MediaTek MT6577 SoC that includes 1GHz Dual Core Cortex-A9 CPU and a PowerVR SGX531 GPU. The handset sports 512MB of RAM and roughly 4GB built-in storage out of which 2.77GB is available.

Interface movies swiftly enough considering it doesnt have all the top-notch hardware. There are slight delays in loading heavy apps like Dead Trigger and multitasking is rather dissapointing. I was able to have A Browser, A Music Player and Whatsapp minimised and phone starts to lag here and there. Of Course, it depends on per-user experience and amount of apps running.

Camera quality is really acceptable for a sub-10k device. Colors are fairly accurate though there is reddish hue appears. Videos are shot 720p at 30fps even in indoors which is a good thing considering other handsets tend to drop the framerate.

Multimedia experience is good on this handset because I loaded my card with loads of HD movies, songs and it had no problem playing either of those.
Stock video player tends to be laggy in playing 720p videos but Third party video player does that job to perfection.

Moving onto final point, Battery life! I'd say its neither good nor bad. Considering it has a huge 5 inch display and a dual core processor, I was able to have a full day out of the 2000mAh juice with 3 hrs of video watching, always-on-whatsapp and some casual gaming and really heavy songs listening.

It has been over a year since this handset was released and there are more better and smarter devices for the same price now.
Still, It is a very good handset to buy under 10k.
