The popularity and fast-growth of Micromax smartphones in Tech-Market is because of the perfect blend of features and economical pricing. But this time micromax seems to have taken the different turn. With the Canvas 4, the company's key focus areas are the build and construction of the device and a differentiated user experience.

The design of Canvas 4 is simple and sleek and much similar as its predecessor. The only new thing in Canvas 4 design is aluminium casing that surrounds the edges and gives a phone a premium look. To avoid scratches it has a Corning Gorilla Glass at the front. 

The Canvas 4 has a 5" IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels that results in a 294 ppi density. The Phone's viewing angle is very impressive but the colour reproduction disappoints a bit. The screen is responsive and Navigation is very smooth. The phone can be unlocked either by shaking or blowing air.

The Canvas 4 is equipped with a 13 megapixels rear camera and 5 megapixels front camera for video calling. You can record a 1080p HD Video with Canvas 4. Geo-tagging,4-way Panorama, touch focus, smile and face detection are some of the features it has. It also has a burst shot mode that lets you capture up to 99 photos in less than 15 seconds. Isn't it impressive ?

Company has tried to do something new with Canvas 4 by adding some cool features that actually give it an edge over its predecessor. But as far as the chipset is concerned there are not much improvements. Canvas 4 is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex A7 processor and is supported by 1 GB of RAM.

No Doubt Canvas 4 has got some cool features and has an edge over it's predecessor but is that enough to spend ₹17,999 on a Micromax product?
