Micromax launches Canvas 5 with octa-core 1.3GHz MediaTek CPU and 5.2-inch display
Well over a couple of years after launching
the Canvas 4 smartphone, Indian smartphone manufacturer Micromax has launched
the device's successor. Dubbed Canvas 5, the handset carries a price tag of INR
11,999 (around $183) and goes on sale (through both online and offline
channels) starting today.
Specs-wise, the device is powered by a
MediaTek MTK6753 chipset with octa-core 1.3GHz processor, and sports a 5.2-inch
full HD (1920×1080 pixels) display. It comes with 3GB RAM and 16GB expandable
internal memory, and packs in a 2,900mAh battery.
In terms of camera, the dual-SIM Canvas 5
features a 13MP rear unit with Samsung 3M2 image sensor and a 5MP front
shooter. The phone is 4.8mm thick and has metal side frame. Connectivity
options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS, as well as Bluetooth.
On the software front, the device's camera
offers the Picture in Picture feature, allowing you to capture shots with the
rear and front camera at the same time. There's also a Smart Wake feature that
lets you launch apps straight from the locked screen with gestures. The handset
currently runs Android 5.1 Lollipop, although the company is promising a
Marshmallow update sometime in the future.
