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 !!

Coolpad, has announced the launch of its flagship smartphone in India. Coolpad Max, which was launched in Indonesia is making its India debut at Rs 24,999.
Coolpad Max comes with 4GB RAM and has Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor under the hood. Coolpad Max features a 5.5-inch FHD display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
On the camera front, Coolpad Max features a 13 MP rear camera with f/2.0 lens. Coolpad is using ISOCELL image sensor, similar to the one we saw on Lava V5 smartphone. The smartphone has a 5 MP front camera. Coolpad Max features metal unibody design with the back panel looking very similar to HTC One A9.
Coolpad believes 2016 will be the crucial year for the company to become a global brand. “We plan to invest larger on global market and targeting 100 per cent annual growth,” said Bin, Coolpad Group CEO.
He further added that company will announce two disruptive smartphones before Diwali as part of ‘Make in India’ initiative. Coolpad devices will also be available via offline retail channels later this year.
Coolpad Max is a 7.6mm thin smartphone that weighs only 170g. Coolpad Max is however not about its specs, but rather about the ‘Dual in One’ option. Coolpad Max offers separate space for professional and personal data and claims this offers better security for user data. The company offers data encryption by default with dual isolation technology.
Coolpad Max offers option to have two accounts for social media apps, and various messaging apps. The feature is more akin to Kids Corner on Windows Phone, but with added features.
Coolpad Max runs Android 5.1 Lollipop with company’s CoolUI on top of it. Coolpad Max features a rear fingerprint scanner and has 64GB storage space.
The smartphone will be available in Rose Gold and Gold colour options. The smartphone will be Amazon exclusive with sale starting from May 30. The device will have strong competition from Xiaomi’s Mi 5 and OnePlus 2.

To be honest this is far from a flagship killer. The chip alone puts it in the mid range device.
