Micromax Informatics recently released a series of lower mid-segment smartphones to keep climbing ranks in the Indian smartphone market. The company had launched the Micromax Canvas Nitro 4G for Rs.12,499.
The pros
The Micromax Canvas Nitro 4G has a good look and feel. Also, it is not very heavy. The curved edges add to the design aesthetics of the device.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 octa-core processor and a 2 GB DDR 3 RAM can take on any application with ease. Switching between several apps is not a problem on the device.
The phone’s cameras is truly the icing on the cake. Although there is no professional mode, Micromax has included several modes to make clicking pictures easier and fun. Modes like Sunset, Landscape, Snow, Candlelight, Night, Action, Party, Night portrait and Steady photo and Backlight among others makes it an all purpose camera. The front camera is seems to be satisfactory.
Interestingly, the phone comes with lot of pre-installed apps like Chaatz, Scandid, Hotstar, Housing, Newshunt, Clean Master, Quikr, Saavn and Snapdeal.
Then again, it isn't perfect
This phone does heat up when playing 'heavy' games. Thus, it runs out of charge too soon. These games affect the phone's peformance. Also the Micromax Canvas Nitro 4G loses charge while downloading heavy files on Wi-Fi.
Verdict: The Micromax Canvas Nitro 4G is a good all-round performer except for its battery which definitely needs to improve.
