Micromax Canvas A116 HD V/S UMI x2
Micromax was having a dream run with its Canvas series smartphone. While Canvas II A110 - the second phone in the Canvas series - put the limelight on Micromax, the Canvas HD A116 was a blockbuster even before its release in India. Micromax Canvas HD A116 was sold out within hours of its launch, making it perhaps the only smartphone in India to sell out so fast. Even the Canvas A110 was sold out from the market and is still being ordered. Canvas A110's price also soared from Rs 9,000 to Rs 11,500 as demand rose significantly. But amid all this brouhaha, UMI, a Chinese handset vendor, launched a phone that has such high end features that it could even put smartphones priced at Rs 35,000 to shame.
The phone in discussion is the UMI X2, which is priced at Rs 14,000 only. The UMI X2 comes with a 5 inch high definition display, quad core processor, 2 GB RAM, 13 megapixel rear camera, 3 megapixel front camera, 2500 mAh battery and a lot more. But the question is whether you should go for the Micromax Canvas HD or the UMI X2 as both are priced equally. We have already reviewed the Canvas HD so we are in a good position to talk about its performance, and we expect to review the UMI X2 soon. Here is a simple comparison of features of both the handsets that will help you choose the right phone for yourself.
Body
Micromax Canvas HD A116 is a really slim phone-elegant to be precise. It has a shiny yet non-slippery body. Unlike other budget smartphones, Canvas HD has a good build and does not feel cheap. Of course, it isn't the slimmest 5 inch smartphone; nor the lightest at 10.7 mm thickness and weighing 156 grams. On the other hand, UMI X2, which too has a 5 inch display, is just 8.9 mm thick and weighs 155 grams. In the pictures, UMI X2 looks good with a metallic strip around its sides. However, it is difficult to say about the exact nature of its build quality as of now.
Display
The UMI X2 comes with a 5 inch display. However, the UMI X2 has 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution compared to the 1280 x 720 pixel resolution of the Micromax smartphone. Of course, the pixel density is more on the UMI X2 and pictures look sharper and clearer on it. To be specific, UMI X2 has 441 ppi display resolution, which is a lot better than Apple iPhone 5's 326 ppi density and Samsung Galaxy SIII's 306 ppi pixel density. On the other hand, Micromax Canvas HD has 294 ppi pixel density. Both the phones have IPS panels, but UMI X2 scores over the Micromax Canvas HD as it has a Gorilla Glass 2 display which provides some sort of protection to the screen from scratches.
Camera
Micromax Canvas HD comes with an 8 megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash and auto focus. There is a 2 megapixel camera in the front. The cameras are theoretically able to capture high definition images and videos but as we have pointed out in our review as well, Canvas HD is like most other budget smartphones when it comes to the camera. In fact, we found a bug in the smartphone that prevents the camera app from opening. UMI X2, on the other hand, looks exciting with its 13 megapixel auto focus rear camera with single LED flash and 3 megapixel front camera. Figure wise, the UMI X2 anyway looks better than the Micromax handset, but it is a category where figures are misleading.
Storage
Where storage is concerned Micromax Canvas HD is a decent device as it has 4 GB of internal memory of which 1.77 GB is available for the user. One can also expand the memory up to 32 GB using a micro SD card. But when compared to the UMI X2's storage space, Canvas HD looks very ordinary. This is because, the UMI X2 comes with a huge 32 GB ROM, of which we expect that around 25-28 GB will be available for users to store their data. Besides, the UMI X2 has support for a micro SD card as well through which you can expand the memory by another 32 GB.
Battery
Both phones come with 5 inch screens as well as quad core processors so their requirements are similar. That is why the 2500 mAh battery in UMI X2 looks a lot better than the 2000 mAh battery of Micromax Canvas HD. As I said in the review as well, Canvas HD gives around five hours of talktime with one full recharge. We expect the UMI X2 to provide more talktime as it has a bigger battery, which should last around 6-7 hours at the least.
Processor, OS, RAM
Both the handsets come with the same MediaTek processor which has four cores and 1.2 GHz clockspeed. Also, both UMI X2 and Micromax Canvas HD A116 have Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, and both the handset manufactures have promised to release Android 4.2 update for the smartphones in due course of time. What makes the UMI X2 special is its 2 GB RAM against Canvas HD's 1 GB RAM.
I would buy UMI x2 instead of Micromax Canvas HD after seeing the specifications !!

bought one brother as at 17k its perfectly worth it specially with the flip cover and all those feature. imagine canvas hd(13000)+ 16gb card(700) + better camera as it has sony sensor+ better flip cover+ better display just at a premium of 2700
moreover do you know you can use phone without removing flap.
i don't think it is worth of rs 17,999 INR, i think these feature are just repeated on these phones, my choice will be spice as on their handsets there is no lag even when playing heavy games like -nova 3. and if you think i am an idiot speaking these things, it is my opinion and my review of these phones, i have used both of them!

no doubt spice has good phones too but canvas 4 is very good at 17000 with this deal. as dollar prices are higher by about 5-8 rs so there is a rise in price of newly launched devices. all phones will be priced higher in coming days as all imports are paid in $$$$$ and if you like canvas 4 you should definately buy as its more then capable devices at 17k

I agree with you but still micromax is packing all it's phone's with the same features, and i don't hate micromax , i love it, but they should have some ingenuity in their works for example canvas hd, canvas2 plus and canvas 4 have more or less the same feature! tell me if you agree to that?!

yes but company is trying its best . canvas 4 is not bad phone but its not best too questions are legit
The effort done on the Canvas 4 been about the quality and about the software package given. Gorilla glass 2 is a good choice as the use of a metal frame gives a more positive image about the product. About the software given in bundle I realize can be seen as silly in a forum where producing a modded Rom is daily job but for the standard users it is not.
Just for your information, the front housing of the canvas 4 costs, as spare, 2k inr more then the front housing of the Canvas HD

Everyone knows where the Micromax phones come from. The Canvas 4 was a rebranded BLU Life One.Now It seems Micromax found another BLU product to put it's stickers on and sell in India.
I bet it's the BLU Life View which exactly has the same specs as the rumored phone
If you compare, Canvas 2 and Canvas HD , you will see Canvas HD has a really good hardware improvement compared to Canvas 2.
But then, compare Canvas HD and Canvas 4 , you will see only upgrade in both Camera, which 12mp and 5mp in front, and a 16gb internal memory. When I heard about Canvas 4, I was excited but then, I expected a new processor, 2gb ram. I am disappointed with the Canvas 4 , Micromax is also charging around 17k to 19k for Canvas 4. I don't find worth buying it.
And same goes to Canvas Doodle 2, almost Same Hardware like Canvas 4. Almost same hardware and they are charging it for 22k
Hi,
I read the news that moto G will be launching in India soon.

Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
16 GB variant will ranges from 14k to 15k
8 GB variant will ranges from 11.5k to 12.5k
DUal sim version will ranges more than 15k

source?????
they are approx. Prices..
I added 500 to 1000 Rs. variation becoz of inflation in Indian rupees to American dollars..
My guess is it's gonna cost around 20K INR for sure .
It been a tradition to hike the prices of mid-range phones in Indian market than other markets....
The legendary Nexus devices which Google subsidizes also costs much more here ...
Nexus 4 still costs around 24k here ...
Nexus 5 launched at 29K (almost 5K more than rest markets) .
The Xperia C was rumored to be around 12-15 K (as in other markets), but Sony launched it at 20K Tag .
So I wouldn't be surprised to find Moto G 16 GB version to cost around 20K here in India .
Also it's gonna be Dual sim version that will be released here .
But I think it's still worth it , because it will get Kitkat and has a vanilla android experience !
Moto G 8gb
Hope they launch at a price tag of 12-13K , would be a good Side kick to my nexus 5 :fingers-crossed:
But how about buying abroad and bringing it inhere..?? I knw its a big deal for these range. I hope i could afford one..
8gb - 12 k, 16 gb 15k
Yes, we are getting it on January 2014 and it will cost 12 K rs for 8 gb and 15 k rs for 16 gb. to compete Samsung and other low cost mobile companies.
It wont meet half its projections if it gets anywhere above the 15-16k mark. Thats the market value of budget smartphones in here.
Motorola said in the release that Moto G will come at 1/3 Price of the High-End Devices like Note 3, S4 and iPhone 5s .
They all almost cost at round 50k so doing the Math (tax incl). Moto G will range from 18K to 22k (18k for 8gig ,20k for 16 gig,22k for Dual SIM 16 gig,20k for Dual SIM 8gig)

thats too high... for what they are offering even they know that they have to at least match the quotes of local players like micromax even if they cant go below there prices...
expect 13k-14k... thats the sweet spot ... anything below this will be a killer sale for moto... anything higher they'll loose half the customers..
Yep bro... will dual sim add another feature.?? Like-SD slot..
20 k is more.. I will give up buying if it prices more than 16k..
Greedy
MMX can prize there phone well because there profits are in Rs. They import Chipsets from Mediatek and make phone here (I think).They have to pay less tax than international flagships.
Moto will not prize it at 13k-14k because of it's specs ( it has the best ppi display,Qualcom Snapdragon 400 & 1 gig of ram,water-resistant nano-coating on the inside and outside,Gorrila glass).
Phones at this prize range rarely has Qualcom and this good specs.
If Moto lowers it's profit margin for India (which it will not I think) then it is possible for the price range to be between 14k-20k for various models (8gig,16gig,Dual sim 8 & 16gig)
Conclusion:Moto is not a new brand and not to forget Moto is the inverter of Mobile phone and Owned by Google so it won't lower it's status with launch price to be this low.I would be more than happy if the prize is 13k-14k but I don't think it will happen.

valid reasoning my friend but lets not forget that the higher the price more likely that we'll prefer to pay a little more and go for nexus 4 or nexus 5... Nexus 4 is still a cheap alternative which is still a kick ass phone..

That's true people will buy Nexus 4 or Sony Xperia SP. In India, phones are not really Value for Money compared to other nation and the Credit for this goes to INR vs USD and Indian Government for heavy taxing even to local manufactures like MMX.If Govt. gives subsidies to MMX and other Indian makers , they will out-grow with best specs and price to the International Flagships.
i'd like to see these companies setup manufacturing in inda.. give these companies tax benifits .. and they in turn will drive our ecnomy and create jobs.. and we can enjoy cheap phones... win win win..
Well I was following news one day, they were showing Narendra Modi's speech,the point that caught my attention was "Mobiles". He said that making mobiles is not rocket science , even then 90% of the market is of foreign company.With help from Government , India can make phone and not only make but Export them too.
I think he is unaware but MMX is exporting it's phones to UAE,etc. I know how Indian Politicians are, so not confident but if NaMo becomes PM we may have many cheap phone

Your math is quite off Unless you added some more for some reason.
One-third of 50k is still 16.7k.

This is wrong. There is no 16gb with single chip. The 16gb comes with 2 chips already and it's the most expensive here in Brazil.
The versions are:
8gb 1chip < 8gb 2chip < 16gb 2chip
Wow thats great...
Thanks dude.. can you tell me the 16Gb variants price
Hey All,
I would like to know buying Micromax Yureka mobile will be a good option or not under 9k price. As far as I know, this mobile is going to come with some great features like 4G, Dual Sim, 2 GB RAM with 16GB on board Storage, 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera,Cyanogen OS 11 etc. Suggestions me please.
Hi, Micromax Yureka is indeed a very good phone for the price tag its going to carry. To my knowledge that's the first 64bit processor(Snapdragon) phone available in less than 10 K price tag. Its sure a game changer for Micromax in this segment. Only other contender is Redmi Note 4G which is equally good. Try and compare these too and you will find marginal difference is performance related benchmark where Micromax Yu yureka fairing out better.
I think Micromax Yu Yureka is a good phablet. It is offering high quality features in a low cost. Now price of Micromax Yu Yureka is Rs.8900. It is offering 13 MP camera and 5 MP front camera. You can also use two SIMs.
