Micromax
mobile phones have been selling like hot cakes recently. The credit for
making the Micromax world #12 mobile manufacturer goes to its highly
successful android smartphones range, the canvas series.
I won’t bore you with the history of Micromax
and the success that it achieved in the Indian market but you need to
know the trend that the Micromax, rather all the mobile manufacturers
are following.
These days, its all about numbers, all about beefed up hardware specifications.
In most of the scenarios you might not need such a mighty hardware but
these manufacturers always somehow make you believe that you can’t live
without them.
Many of you might not
find it convincing but even a fast dual-core phone can beat the heck of
the current quad-core flagship phones. You can google the reviews of US
edition HTC One X AT&T and the international version of HTC One X.
Spoiler Alert: Get ready to be amazed.
Micromax has been following Samsung’s suit of packing its flagship smartphones with better and advanced hardware.
Micromax Canvas Series

| Processor | 1 GHz | 1 GHz dual-core Cortex A9 | 1.2 GHz quad-core cortex A7 |

Based on the above trend I expect Canvas 4 A210 to launch with these hardware specificatons.

PS:
I’ve asked Micromax people to provide a little bit more info about
Canvas 4 but by the time of publishing this article there was no
response from them. I will update the article with more details later.
What can you expect from Micromax Canvas 4 A210?
Micromax
has become a trend setter in the Indian market. Many small mobile
manufacturers in India follow Micromax very closely. What Micromax might
launch today will be their goal for tomorrow’s product. But with
increase in reputations expectations increase too.
Tweaked Firmware:
Micromax is condemned by many for producing phones with almost no
software optimizations. People love to use some skinned interface like
Samsung’s touchwiz, Sony’s timescape, HTC’s sense etc.
Micromax
mobiles offer very good value for the money but I’ve experienced lags
even while playing some highly popular games on a Micromax flagship
device.
Better battery life:
Almost every Micromax smartphone is plagued by low battery life. C’mon
Micromax, you have to do some optimizations in the firmware to make the
battery last longer.
Who doesn’t want his smartphone to last a day or two with full usage and single charge?
Improved camera: The Micromax Canvas HD A116’s 8MP camera was nowhere its brethren in terms of performance and clarity both.
For
those who don’t know, the clarity of pictures captured by a camera
depend a lot on software optimizations in the field of image processing.
Expected Price:
There is no word about the price of Canvas 4 from Micromax but from
what I can tell, this phone should belong to the price bracket of 17-20k INR.

they’re not) released by Micromax.
