Micromax Canvas 5 - a budget smartphone that does not look budget

first look

The appearance of a new smartphone Micromax, - is one of the most important, in my opinion, the advantages (of course, apart from the price). Appearance Canvas 5 does not gives the budgetary system.

smartphone dimensions (147 × 73 mm) are consistent with fashion trends in the gadgets market. Thin (8.4 mm), lightweight, fits comfortably in your hand.

Casing - metal and plastic coated "on the skin" - and front glass look (and feel) as a monolithic structure. No gaps.

Processor and battery

The filling device is very decent, especially considering the price segment: 3 GB of RAM and 16 gigabytes of internal, eight-processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz and supports CorePilot.

Micromax created a new smartphone in conjunction with Taiwan's MediaTek - a major producer and innovator in the field of microelectronic chips. Actually, eight-processor 5 Canvas - a MediaTek MT6753 from, announced in 2015.

Cores Cortex-A53 (64 bits) in the 28 nm process technology provide high performance and low power consumption. MT6753 processor, if necessary, can connect additional core and graphics chips, which in turn speeds up the processing of information without compromising the overall performance of the smartphone.

In other words, due to optimal load distribution across multiple cores and connect the graphics chip MT6753 processor provides maximum performance only when it is needed: during heavy applications and games.

In addition, the processor controls the power consumption. When you, for example, simply write in the messenger, or looking for something on the Internet, the performance remains at a high level, and the energy consumption is reduced.

Thus, MediaTek chipset ensures high performance smartphone - at the level of the flagship models.

Operating system - Android 5.1, and no heavy animations and other "husk", which could affect the speed of the gadget.

The benchmark AnTuTu smartphone scored 37,674 points - quite decent for a smartphone mid-market.

Housing, of course, not a single (though then you will not say, as we have seen above), under the lid - two slots for SIM-card and battery at 2900 mAh.

If you do not get involved in the games, the charge would be enough for a whole day, and if also a SIM-card to use, and can be one and a half to two days to go without recharging.

Display and Camera

Full HD-display by 5.2 inches. Despite the fact that 5 Canvas not AMOLED-display, picture quality and richness of colors on the level. While the lighting and viewing angle are irrelevant.

What about the camera? The rear chamber 13 and front Mn Mn 5 - standard parameters for modern smartphones.

There are no complicated settings like ISO or white balance, but tell me honestly, do you use them? Well, in daylight the bright colors and crisp images are secured on the pictures to you.

In terms of communication no particular plus or minus no. LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi - is quite enough for the average user.

Who is this smartphone

Micromax Canvas 5 will appeal to those who are primarily looking at convenience, functionality, affordability, and of course, attractive appearance.

High screen resolution, vibrant colors, good performance, comfortable non-slip case - it is enough to select Canvas 5 and did not regret it. And the price of 17-18 thousand rubles to buy a smartphone right away, without any loans or serious limitations in terms of budget.
