Micromax Canvas Turbo at INR 19,990

Indian Mobile giant is back with another Canvas series phone. This is their first full-HD display mobile phone.

This is their flagship device and will be available in the market now onwards. New Micromax Canvas turbo comes with a 5 inch full-HD IPS display. It is powered by a Mediatek 1.5 GHz Quad Core processor and 2 GB of RAM. This phone comes with a 13 Mega pixel auto focus camera and 5 Mega pixel front facing camera. According to the company, the camera has various features like panorama, object eraser,. etc.  There is a 2000 mAh battery in new Canvas Turbo, which seems to be some what less for a phone powered by a quad core processor.

The phone comes with the stock version of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean which is loaded with some pre-installed apps like Hike, BBM, M! live, M! Security, M! Live. Same like other Micromax devices this phone also comes with dual SIM support with one regular SIM and another micro SIM. One important point, from which I am disappointed that there is 16 GB of internal memory, but not having expandable memory. This is the biggest drawback of this phone. 

If you are non Indian and do not know about Micromax then you must know that this latest phone Canvas Turbo is branded by Hugh Jackman, who is the worldwide superstar with movies like X Men. So, probably you can understand that at which level Micromax is doing their job. 

Micromax is selling this phone at INR 19,990($325)is their highest price point after Canvas 4 at INR 14,990. So, I am not sure that buyers will go for this price point because they can get Sony Xperia C, Samsung Galaxy Quattro & Google Nexus 4 at same point with much better hardware and customer support. 

LCD vs TFT vs AMOLED : Display Comparision

These days screen size of any mobile phone is benchmark to compare them. The more it will be big, more you will be impressed. But technology behind that screen in not much known for most of us. Even if the persons who know about LCD, TFT, IPS, AMOLED, SUPER AMOLED will be also confused that which one is better. 

These displays are generally having two main types. First one is LCD & second one is AMOLED. We know name LCD because it is used in the wide range of electronic products. But most of us are not aware about AMOLED. So let's discuss about it. 

LCD:

LCD, liquid crystal display is made of wondrous liquid crystals. In which these crystals are combined between two couple of glasses with the use of the light source. They produce most realistic colors, but they does not represent much wider contrast ratio if we compare them with AMOLED.

TFT & IPS are also based on same LCD technology. TFT which is Thin Film Transistor & IPS is In Plane Switching. 

TFT makes LCD much efficient by making it's wiring reduced and also reduces electrodes per pixel. TFT improves image quality of LCD display.

IPS is improved from TFT by offering much better color reproduction and more accurate viewing angles. 

LCD is used in most of Sony, HTC, iPhone., etc. 

AMOLED:

AMOLED stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. 

It is old technology but gained popularity in recent days. In this technology, a thin layer is made from thin layers which is zapped by an electric current. One major advantage of this technology is, it can create much thin layers and also do not require back light. This means it can create much better black colors and reduces battery usage because the back light is not used. 

Here three major colors Red, Blue and Green are divided in sub category like RGBG color. This is called as a 'pentile display'. But this have a disadvantage also, they can represent lower resolution because of much larger and visible sub pixels. 

Now a days, Samsung is known for their Super AMOLED, HD Super EMOLED displays. But this is nothing but simple AMOLED which is used with just prefix 'super'. They are traditional EMOLED. So do not fooled by these type of names. 

These are the devices which uses AMOLED technology: HTC ONE S, Galaxy series by Samsung.

Conclusion:

Now let's come to the answer that which one is better? So my answer is both LCD and EMOLED have their own strength and weakness. So it is totally dependent on you which one is like by you personally. If you try and phone and you get good resolution, better color reproduction and good viewing angles, then definitely that display is good for you. 

Micromax Canvas 4 review

Just before 3 years when my some friends bought Micromax phones and I was wondered that why are they going for such a downcast company. But after that time passed and Micromax consistently launched new phones and they built their position much and much strong.

Before some months ago when Galaxy Note was ruling Bigger Size phone market in India, at that time Micromax introduced first Canvas phone and it becomes blitzkrieg successful.
 After that they launched Canvas 2, Canvas HD, Canvas 3D and much more hit phones.
Now everyone eyeing on Canvas 4. So here are some 'hot' news about Canvas 4.

Micromax will start prebooking of this phone on 28th June. Till than and before its official release we can clearly assume that it will have a 13 MP camera because the teaser of the phone showed that.

One thing which disappoint me a little bit is that, Like other Micromax and Samsung phones this phone doesn't have great looks. The phone looks like other plastic cover phone.

If we believe on other news than the second thing comes into my mind is that this phone will be having a full HD display. But having a full HD display will recommend better battery life and I hope Micromax will increase battery life.

The last and most important topic,price!!! Like other Micromax product, this phone will also come in below rs 20,000.
