Micromax Canvas Nitro 4G: Decent, nothing great

Micromax Canvas Nitro 4G offers a decent deal on paper along with stock Android Lollipop experience.

Micromax recently introduced its third Canvas Nitro smartphone with 4G support to compete with the likes of Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) and Xiaomi Mi4i. With 4G connectivity slowly picking pace in the country, Micromax will launch more 4G enabled smartphone within the price of Rs 10,000 by 2016 end. The company has recently partnered with Mediatek for the same. The Canvas Nitro 4G, however, is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. So, is it a better deal in the Rs 10,000 segment? Here is the review.

Micromax Canvas Nitro 4G

The device looks different when compared to the previous Canvas Nitro models and sports a Moonstone finish at the back, similar to YU’s Yureka. The Canvas Nitro 4G offers a decent deal on paper along with stock Android Lollipop experience. It supports 4G on both SIM slots and benchmark scores are at par with other devices in this price range.
Specs: Android 5.0.2 Lollipop | 1.4GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 415 CPU | 2GB RAM | 16GB ROM (expandable up to 32GB) | 5-inch 720p HD IPS display with Corning Glass 3 protection | 13MP A/F rear camera with dual LED flash and a 5MP F/F front camera | 2,500 mAh battery | Black colour

Price: Rs 10,999


What is good?

Overall, the Canvas Nitro 4G is a decent deal. The device looks good and feels solid in the hand. The display quality is decent and offers good sunlight visibility. The rear camera will please most users. Though, the results not surprisingly good. Micromax has stuck to stock Android Lollipop, which offers a smooth experience as expected. The device supports 4G on both SIM card slots.




What is not that good?

Micromax could have offered a bigger battery. The battery lasts a day of usage on regular usage.



Verdict

Micromax Canvas Nitro 4G offers a decent deal if you cannot stretch your budget any further. Else, the Moto G3 and Mi4i at a slightly higher price point is a better buy.
