Specifications at a glance:
Canvas Spark comes packed with 1.3 GHz mediatek quad core processor, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB ROM expandable upto 32 GB via external SD card, 8 MP rear camera with M8 Largan Lens and 2 MP front shutter. On display front Spark comes with 4.7 inch qHD IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, Canvas spark weighs only 134 gm and it feels so light when held in hands. On software front Canvas Spark comes loaded with latest Android 5.0 lollipop and supports 21 language through Reverie.
This phone has specifications which definitely beats its competitors like Moto E (2nd Gen), Lenovo A6000, Redmi 1 S etc for this price.
First Impressions:
Micromax Canvas Spark comes in two color variants one is white & gold and second is Black & Grey, On the front side we have 4.7 inch qHD IPS display which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, on top of screen we have the earpiece in the center and front camera & proximity sensor one on each side of ear piece. On bottom we have usual three capacitive buttons viz. multitasking , home and back button from left to right.
Sides of the phone are fitted with metallic rim , left side of phone is left blank while right hand side features power button and volume rockers. On top edge there is a 3.5 mm audio jack and charging slot and mic are placed on bottom edge of the phone. Back side of the phone sports 8 MP rear camera with a led flash light placed just below the camera and below that is placed Micromax logo. Speakers are placed at bottom of the back.
Removing back cover reveals two mini sim slots and a slot for SD card, there is a battery of 2000 mAh but it is not removable.
We found the phone pretty responsive during our usage. Vineet, CEO of Micromax informed us that Micromax has a separate team working on improving camera performance and Canvas Spark just proves that, Images we took from this device were pretty good when compared to other Micromax devices.
Verdict:
For the specifications offered at a price of 4999/- we cant complaint against anything. Canvas Spark is only phone which runs on Android Lollipop, comes with 8 GB ROM and supports 3G in this price range. On performance front phone looks good but more can be said when we spend some more time with review device. If you are a person who wants to get connected to faster internet world with a decent hardware support for apps you are going to run but on tight budget then this is the definite phone for you.
More images of the device are given below, will be back with a detailed review till then stay tuned.
