The lower the price, the greater the possibility of smartphones buy for the first time. Micromax is introducing mobiles with this intention keeping in mind small cities-Goes and not English-speaking customers who have perhaps only uses voice and SMS service.
New Canvas Spark 3 The company has priced Rs 4,999. This price can be said to be good for buyers who have never used computing devices before. Today we will review this new smartphone of Micromax and see if the Canvas Spark 3 is really purchased?
Look and design
Canvas Spark 3 priced at Rs 5,000 is good to watch. Like the second low -priced device, this phone does not seem cheap or artificial. The front part of the phone is the plane and the camera and the earpiece are upwards. The navigation button is onscreen. There is very little space on the left and right side of the screen, which makes the phone very easy to use with one hand.
Taking the phone in hand does not seem heavy at all and its curves are able to hold and use it at convenience. There is a metallic band on the edge. There are power and volume buttons on the right side and a micro-USB port is given at the bottom.
Plastic rear panel with matte texture is removable and gives good grip. The rear panel has a camera and flash at the top with a Micromax logo. There is a large speaker grill at the bottom. The rear cover has two micro-SIM slots and a microSD slot. To replace the SIM card, you have to take out the battery.
On purchasing Canvas Spark 3, you will get a charger, USB cable, headset, screen protector and fingerprint, with a small microfiber cloth to clean the dust. Given the price, this package of accessory can be called good.
Specification
The spreadtrum processor has been used in Canvas Spark 3. The phone has a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor. Mali-400 MP2 GPU is given for graphics. Two micro-SIMs can be run simultaneously in the phone, but it does not support 4G, so that this phone seems a bit old according to today’s market.
The phone has 1 GB RAM and 8 GB inbuilt storage. However, only 4.76 GB space will be available for the use of the user, while the rest of the space is already occupied by the device file. After a long time, we got such a phone in which we got to see less space in all benchmarking apps and files. For storage, you will definitely need a memory card and it is disappointing to have only 32 GB of expandable storage.
The phone has a 5.5 inch screen with 720×1280 pixels resolution which is one of its most special features. The rear camera of the phone is 8 megapixels while the front camera is 5 megapixels. However, 720 pixels video recording can be done from the phone’s rear camera while only 480 pixels can be recorded from the front camera.
There are features like Wi-Fi B/G/N and Bluetooth 4.0 for connectivity. There is a shortage of ambient light sensor in the phone, so the brightness has to be adjusted manually manually. The removable battery given in the phone is 2500 mAh.
Software
The choice of software by Micromax seems a bit strange. The company has given a very simple multi-language (multilingual) Indus launcher keeping in mind the first time Android user, but on the other hand there are many complex apps and features that can bother a non-tech-service user.
The phone runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop and when you boot, the custom Indus home screen shows seven big icons for basic function. There is a second home screen on the left side. Every time you get out of an app, you will come on the home screen so that you will have to go back several times to go back to your page and the whole process is very slow.
The phone seems to be separated simultaneously in the phone. The phone has a dock like iOS with 4 large size icons on the app drawer page, but neither this nor the home screen can be customized.
Language and other basic settings can be easily changed by going to Indus Launcher Settings but the main Android Setting icon is hidden. The Google Setting icon also appears with another app which is quite confused. It is a matter of relief that in Indus settings there is an option to switch to stock AOSP launcher.
Launched about two years ago Micromax Unite 2 Like the Micromax Canvas Spark 3 has been given local language support. However, only 10 languages support the Canvas Spark 3 smartphone instead of 21. You can choose two primary language and can also tongue quickly between them.
Micromax has already installed several software, many of which are very rare. The phone has an Indus app store and another app center. Micromax has M Games and M Line Storefront. Apart from this, there are many common apps and games such as Amazon shopping, OLX, Snapdeal, Hike, Quicker, Scandid, Opera Mini, Song, Clean Master, CM Security, CM Locker and M Travel. The good thing is that the third-part app can be removed to empty space.
Performance
The phone has many shortcomings. It takes a few seconds to come from exit from an app to home screen. Many apps also cause problems while swipe with basic tasks like photo gallery. This can also be caused by the CM Security App which is running in every circle background. While opening the pre-install app Snapdeal, we received a message of a warning that speaks of privacy leaks and economic losses through it.
The phone’s display is also quite low-quality. The video looks fake in the video and the viewing angle is quite bad. Sound quality is fine and it can be said to be fine for games and video voice but not for music.
During the benchmark Test, only the Hardware of Canvas Spark 3 got good figures.
The battery life of the phone can be said to be good and in our video loop test, the battery supported for 7 hours and 13 minutes. The screen of the phone consumes the most battery and during normal use, the battery of the phone lasts for the whole day.
With the phone’s camera, we got better results from our hope. The focus takes some time and there is a problem in the shutter, so forget about the sudden shot. On the other hand, in the light of daylight, the camera gives good results. Colors are fine in pictures taken from the phone’s camera and the pictures do not look very artificial. The video quality to be recorded from the phone was a bit bad as expected.
Our decision
We should keep in mind that the possible market of Canvas Spark 3 belongs to those who have never used smartphones but also computer. It should also be remembered that today such devices are present in the smartphone market for less than Rs 5,000. It is reality that there are many things in this phone that this phone cannot make. The performance of the phone is also very weak.
The software of the phone cannot help those users who use smartphones for the first time. Micromax Canvas Spark 3 could be made a little better in this price.
Users who are already accustomed to using an Android phone will find a low -cost Micromax Canvas Spark 3. All basic features are given in the phone and the camera is also fine.
