Micromax has launched its Canvas Nitro A310 in India. Priced at Rs. 12,990, the company has tried to deliver a premium looking smartphone with a leather-like finish at the back. But the faux-leather back may not impress everyone. The rest of the device looks like any other Micromax smartphone and is available in two colour options- white and blue (dark).
The Micromax Canvas Nitro A310 is exclusively available at Snapdeal only.
The Canvas Nitro A310 competes directly with the newly launched Moto G (2nd Gen) and also with the Xiaomi Mi3 smartphone which has been discontinued for a while. Micromax CEO Vineet Taneja particular hinted at Xiaomi by mentioning it as a Chinese company.
Micromax Canvas Nitro A310 houses a 1.7 GHz true octa-core Mediatek (MTK MT6592) processor along with Mali 450 GPU and 2 GB RAM. The device scored 28374 on AnTuTu Benchmark and ranked below Xiaomi Mi3 which scored 38817. However, users shouldn’t find any difficulties while multitasking or running large apps.
Running on Android 4.4 KitKat operating system, the device sports a 5-inch HD IPS display at a resolution of 720×1280 pixels (not full HD). The screen comes with oleophobic coating which will make the it smudge-proof. Micromax demonstrated it by putting oil on the screen and it actually worked. Micromax could have used a full HD display but having said that the display is quite sharp with a density of 320 ppi. The UI is mostly mostly stock Android with minor tweaks.
Rear camera test: The device produced decent results.
The Canvas Nitro A310 comes with 8 GB of internal storage out of which around 5 GB is available. The memory can be further expanded up to 32 GB via microSD card.
The device sports a 13 MP rear camera along with a 5 MP front camera and is powered by a 2500 mAh battery. Other camera features include Live Photo (Image plus sound) and multi angle view mode which allow users to shoot images in 180 degrees. The front camera features a selfie option which has a timer.
