Micromax Canvas Spark

Micromax announced their new low-budget smartphone Canvas Spark Q380 with a 4.7” screen and 540×960 pixels resolution and gorilla glass 3 protection and weighing a light 134gms. It houses a quad core processor the 1.3GHz Cortex A7 MediaTek MT6582m and a Mali 400 GPU.

It comes with 8 gigs of internal space, 32 GB expandable coupled with 1 gigs of RAM. Spark also has an 8MP rear camera, autofocus enabled and with LED flash accompanied by a 2MP front camera. It runs Android version 5.0 Lolipop and also has a dual SIM feature.

Though 3G can only be used on the first SIM card, not on the second one. Extracting power from a Li-Ion 2000 mAh battery, it will provide a back-up of 7h talktime on 3G. It includes features like 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. Its frame is made of brushed metal copper. It runs throughout at the length of the edges, giving it a sleek look. An extremely low priced phone which includes Android v5.0, gorilla glass screen and a decent 8MP camera would not make for a bad deal after all.

Micromax Canvas Spark will be available exclusively on Snapdeal. Registrations have already started. The first flash sale will be on this month end, that is 29^th April 2015. Available in white and black this handset is priced at a affordable Rs.4,999. For a low-budget, Canvas Spark is a really powerful phone with a decent camera and a good amount of memory. Its display is not as bright as the devices it has been pitched up against, like Moto E (2^nd Gen) and Redmi 2.

Canvas Spark has taken on Moto E, Redmi 2 and Lenovo A7000, and since it is priced lower than all three, it might have a considerable advantage in the market. Even though its features are not as appealing as that of the high-end phones, it will make a good name for itself.
