Micromax Canvas Xpress 2 (Black & Champagne, 8 GB)1 GB RAM

I ordered this phone for my sister as her first phone. I had no big expectations on this phone. When the phone arrived, The packaging was impressive. I'll describe my observations so far. Display: The phone's display is as premium as any mid end Samsung phone. The colors are vivid. The touch screen is also well responsive considering the price. Performance: With an Octa Core processor and Mali 450 MP4, it's the most powerful phone at this price range. There are no visible lags as of now. The UI is fluid as it should be. Camera: This is where the phone is a killer. This 13MPX killer camera captures pictures better than my Yuphoria and don't underestimate the 2MPX front camera. The front camera's quality is also satisfactory but the pictures are grainy in low light. Sensors: The only place where the phone lags. It doesn't have Magnetic and Gyro Sensor. So this phone will not be compatible with any VR Cardboards.So, People who think about experiencing Virtual Reality with this phone, Make a note. Battery Backup: I was probably expecting too much of Juice from this 2500mAh battery but got disappointed as the phone discharged from 100% to 34% in around 3 hours with 30% brightness and no Sim Cards and only Wi-Fi. But the minimum brightness is probably enough for most of the time as it's treshold is greater than most of the phones. But the Micromax Update app was consuming 24% of the battery in the background.I'll force close it and update the results later.But with optimum brightness and two SIM Cards on stand-by, it should give you at least 5 hours of backup which is average for almost every phone. So, Nothing exceptional in battery backup. LED Notification Light looks like a bonus for this phone. Many phones at this price range don't have one. You will not know when it'll be useful. Without a LED Notification, You'll never know if your phone fully charged or has a notification until you turn on the display. And finally, The phone sports killer looks. It looks very premium and very well reasonable in this price. The earphones provided with this phone sounds like Beats. Never recieved such high quality earphones with any other phone. Upvote if you find it useful :) Updates: This phone has some software issues. The phone slows down occasionally. And suddenly there was a problem with the camera. When you open the Camera App, There is a grey screen in the viewfinder. This can be temporarily fixed by going to Settings->Apps->All->Camera->Clear Data. Then it will take few weeks for it to build up cache and this problem might occur again. The only permanent fix for these issues is a software update by Micromax which is promised. Let's hope Micromax fixes these bugs in the Lollipop Update.

I got this phone on 14 Aug with proper packing and sealed by m.m.It's been 3 days i m using it with heavy usage and phone is performing well. Bluetooth,Wi-fi receptions are good.Screen Clarity is also very good but speaker sound is little bit low but satisfactory. In-earphone provided in box and sound is pretty good specially good for bass heads. About look it's look like a premium phone and eye-catchy. Back cover is rubber type and decrease the chances off slip off from your hand.I found only one issue with this phone is battery draining problem.They say this is phone with battery power of 2500mah but don't think because battery is draining too much fast with light usage.Only battery problem is there but if u buy a powerbank then it’s good.But above all of this you have to keep in mind that it is only 6k phone but if u prefer brand and all the great features then you have to increase your budget upto 20k. If you think brand doesn't matter and features are all things then you must go for it.I personally think its a good phone in this price range. its also good for gifting. if there is no battery issue i would give this 5 star but for now i am giving only 4.its a genuine review and if you found helpful then please mark as helpful.I am happy with this phone :)

First of all thankss to flipkart for very fast delivery... as i got this phone in 3 day after ordering.. i ordered this phone so as i gift to my sister on her birthday and also it is her first android phone.''The less i expect .. the more this deVice gives.'' So let me tell you about the major pros and cons of this device in friendly way after 1 week of usage.. Pros :- 1.) Hand looks:- You will surely in love with this device because of it's build quality, stylish sleek design and Gold in color. it looks much better in hand than that of the images presented on google.. 2.) Ram usage :- As this phone is only having a ram of 1gb.. and probably this section of feature was a deal breaker for me.. but i thought it might be enough for my sis.. and i think i was right because after i installed various background running apps like hike, whatsapp, facebook and even the go launcher.. i didn't feel any lag and hanging problem.. 3.) Hardcore gaming :- I installed various high quality games like 'into the dead', 'fifa 15' and asphalt 8 .. I didn't expect a lot from this device as it is only having 1gb ram .. but after playing these games 4-6 times.. i didn't feel any of the lag till now.. As i can't use my sis phone more to get hurt by flying chappals.. :p but yes..for gamers.. its a very good phone to buy in this price range as it has a octa core processor which is really very fast in daily usage.. 4.) Rear Camera :- Camera is now a main feature concern by any of the buyers.. so let me tell you about the camera performance of this phone.. The phone's rear camera is of 13 megapixels of purecell.. which is awesome in that price tag.. Outdoor picture quality of camera is fantastic.. Indoor quality of phone is good but not as far.. but in daily usage you will not find much of the differnce.. as it gives a good images in indoor also where there is proper light present..Although if you want good quality in indoor too..than not to worry.. you can download camera apps like bliss cam and fx camera from play store to filter them automatically.. So yes, not to waorry aboutr the camera usage.. it will not dissapoint you as the details of you pics will be awesome and this phone will give you better sharp quality images.. 5.) Front camera:- It's front camera is far better as expected.. Even though it is of 2megapixel without having any flashlight but the outcomes of the pics are great.. Infact it is better than that of karbonn's machfive front camera which have 5 mp camera with flashlight.. So, front camera is one the major pros of this device as it is great in outdoors as well as indoor.. 6.) Processor :- This phone has 1.4ghz cortex a7 processor.. Which is the best part of this cool device.. As it is the cheapest phone having octa core processor in current market.. which gives you really blazingly fast speed.. ;) And yes, one thing is left which is also not mentioned in features that is LED Notification light.. which comes with bonus as extra papdi comes with Gol gappas.. :P lolzz.. but seriously it is also a bumper thing for buyers.. because notification light not generally comes in this price tag.. Cons:- 1.) Battery :- This is the major concern of this phone.. Micromax says that this phone comes with a battery back up of 2500mah which seems to be very good.. but in the manner of usage, i don't think it is really of that backup. According to me, it only gives a backup of less than 2000mah.. In continue usage of wifi of 3-4 hrs..more than 40% of you r battery will be finished..Whcih is not so much but that must not be there in the manner of 2500mah battery backup . i think that might be overcome with a lollipop upgrade which micromax promises to give in this device.. You will not feel any draining of the battery in stand by.. 2.) The other problem which i've seen with this is that the LED light turns green when it reaches 90% .. although it must have to turn green when it is fully charged at 100%.. but i think that must not be a major concern in deal breaker manner.. I hope these problems will be overcome when the lollipop update arrives.. I hope i give you my honest opinion as per my usage in little funny manner too.. :p I personally suggest you to go for a device as it'll not break your promise in any kind of specs as concerned..Kindly like my review if you like it,.. So that i'll be more motivated to Give you other phone's review also.. GO fOR The PhoNe.. :D
