First of all sorry for interruption as we promised we will be posting - MWC Preview, but due to the very much hyped and recently announced Canvas HD, we are not able to post it, and it will be following this post soon.
Anyways, back to the point now, it's our First-Of-A-Kind for review of a Phone, so cheers for our new step!!
After the huge success of Canvas 2, Micromax is back with Micromax A116 Canvas HD, actually Canvas 3. Announced on 21st January, this superfone, we think, is best phone is the market right now to buy. Although the price is not announced officially at the moment, but as the company said it press conference, it is going to be anywhere below Rs.15,000. But we think it will be available is the local market for around Rs.12,000 in India.
Firstly some talks and then the specs. Micromax A116 Canvas HD is almost as identical in design as Canvas 2 was. But Canvas HD is a bit sleeker and is more defined along the edges. The resolution of Canvas HD is far better than Canvas 2, and the display is IPS, while Canvas 2 had IPS LCD. The processor is also a great one, Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7, PowerVR SGX544 GPU with a MediaTek MT6589 Chipset. Battery life is quite good for a 5-inch phone. Camera also works just perfectly. This device boasts a 4.1 Jelly Bean, which works excellent with Internet, and surprisingly is also, smooth and the pinch-in and pitch-out zoom worked perfectly.

ReplyDeleteHello Prashant,
DeleteAccording to our sources, Micromax will start taking the pre-orders after 26th Jan, ie, today. You can like our facebook page, we post these small kind of information there.

We currently have no information about the availability of the product, not only us no one does not know where to book the product. This is simply because of one reason - Micromax has not yet revealed the actual official price of the A116 Canvas HD. Once it is available you will be informed on our Facebook Page.
DeleteRegards,
Swapnil Tripathi
Manager, UltraLap
SWAPNIL SIR WHRER TO BOOK ? WHEN LAUCH? WHEN?

DeleteFrankly speaking Prashant, i am as eager as you are to buy this phone. I am in the same boat as you are in. I also want to buy this super-awesome phone. As soon I have information about this, I will post it on our FB page.
kuch pata chala Swapnil sir kab tak retail market mai aayyega?
ReplyDeleteNo info yet!
ReplyDeleteBut we are trying to get info as soon as possible on this super-device. Although we got hold of two such websites which are offering Canvas HD. One is http://www.myvirtualplaza.com/electronics/prod_details.php?pid=4100&product=Micromax_A116_Canvas_Hd&title=Buy_Micromax_A116_Canvas_Hd_online_in_India_for_just_Rs.14999.00_only
and other is http://www.saholic.com/mobile-phones/micromax-canvas-hd-a116-1005757
But "WE DO NOT TRUST THESE WEBSITES. BUY OR ORDER AT YOUR OWN RISK."
We would advice you to wait few days more, because Canvas HD, according to Micromax, was due in first week of Feb, but they still didn't launched it. If we get any info we will post it on our FB page.
