Expert Advicer- Akash Ghosh
As Before, I had Told that " Micromax has been the apple of the eye for every one" was not at all wrong . The Micromax Company has been unleashing its massive Smartphones from the time it came in this Smartphone industry and has till now produced it's Smartphones . The Micromax company didn't stop after its success with the Canvas Series and had continued to produce its Smartphones and has reached to a new age which can be called as the Music Age for the Micromax Company . You may think whats the deal with music and Micromax ... But For your Knowledge The Micromax Company has released it's Micromax A88 Canvas Music which is associated with Music ( I think So ). Lets see what it has !!...
Design
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music looks almost like its ancestor - Micromax A116 Canvas HD . It has a plastic body covered with rubber for better grip . It has rounded corners making it look very pleasing for anyone. It weighs only 136 gm , it has a 4.5 inch screen which is assumed as the best display screen size in today because it is neither too big nor too large . At the front you have that 4.5 inch screen with three captive buttons as usual but it doesn't has the front camera , at the back you have the battery compartment and a 5 mega pixels camera .
The review ( Video)
Display
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music has a 4.5 inch screen with a resolution of 480X854 pixels and a pixel density of 217 ppi. The pictures , texts and videos do not come out well and it lacks the ambient light sensor which results in the the absence of the auto brightness option .
When you will the touch the display screen your finger print will get printed on the screen ( very bad feature ).
Software
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music runs on android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean . It has almost all the features of a smartphone like the lock screen widget (but a bit different from other Mircomax smartphone ) , notification tray etc. the Notification tray has options to set shortcuts to Wi-Fi , bluetooth , GPS, rotation, profiles, brightness etc.It has 9 customizable home screens which can be designed with multiple widgets and shortcuts.
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music comes with some preloaded apps ( most of which are of the Micromax company) like M! Zone+ , M! Live and HookUp! . You get a 3 months subscription to M!Live. It also has some Games like DarkMan , Fruit Devil etc preloaded in it .
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music works on a 1GHz dual-core MediaTek MT6577 processor along with PowerVR SGX531 GPU. It has 512 MB RAM like many other smart phones. The apps run in a average mode on this smartphone. The smartphone has a very bad feature of lagging which may lead to loss of customer .
It has 4 GB internal memory which can be expanded up to 32 GB with a micro-SD card.
Camera
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music has a 5 mega pixels camera with a LED light .The pictures taken by the camera are decent but the shorts taken at low light doesn't come up to ones expectations. The camera can also capture videos of 720 p HD Resolution . The videos take are of average quality but with some of its camera features it can take good videos.
Battery
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music comes with a 18000 mAh battery which can last for a whole day with a heavy and a low usage including 1-1.5 hours of talking, facebook, mails,app, taking pictures and playing videos.
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music is tagged as Rs 8,499 which (according to me) is a very large sum for that smartphone , with all it's good features and bad features I think that it should be tagged as Rs.6000-Rs.7000 .
Advise
The Micromax A88 Canvas Music is not actually a very grand smartphone that one would like to buy with the price tag of Rs. 8,499. But as it is a Canvas Phone it already gets it's value and without any hesitation many people would surely buy this and may also have fun with it .
Thanks for reading.
