hey guys i need some info before buying the
canvas 2
is it having good sound quality i.e. speaker and
voice quality over 2G & 3G
what about the 8 MP camera i know it wont give
that awsome quality but is it equal to 5 MP xpera
sola 720p????
Can it run HD games
Does it give the dual core performence or its just
a trash.
Guys i have to collect money for buying this
device and i would like to know about this
device....
Speaker voice quality has been above par for Micromax phones! No need to worry about tha! 8 MP cam will be pretty decent considering it is a Low-mid range phone. It definitely can run all the HD games available in the market. It is a quad core phone, so the performance will be pretty good. All these things i said based on using previous micromax products. But the only thing that doesn't want to make me buy Mircromax, karbonn etc is they have no xda forum support which is kinda sad given that many developers are from INDIA! Currently i won an XS and i'm pretty happy with it. Will buy this phone for my mum!
Hey guys i'm going to buy a new smartphone this month.I'm confused between the LG NEXUS 4 & HTC ONE X+ & GALAXY NOTE 2 .Which do you all think is a better choice? I like the stock android but i also like the sense UI 4. The price of all the 3 mobiles is almost same in my country. Please help!!
Thanks
All are decent hand sets. Make some time and go into a shop and compare look, feel, responsiveness and functionality. From what I've read the note 2 along with other Sammy handsets can suffer from sudden death syndrome and not sure if their update provided a fix.

I'm looking to buy a phone for around this price. The Flipkart sale lets me buy this phone for around 11.5k, and spec wise it seems worth it.
Do any of you have any horror stories about this? (Mainly after sales service issues)
Any major faults with this phone because of which I should avoid it?
Any suggestions for a phone under 13k?
After sales is horrible..... I got the phone after 60days.

I am using this phone for about 4 months and its working excellent. If you r not a fresher, then you can tackle most of the issues yourself.
I'll recommend this phone.
Go for it!

As the above post said if u know your phone completely you can solve any software issue on your own you just gotta know it! and even if you dont then you can always ask on xda and also google your problem....there is always a solution for software probs
All in all cHD is an awesome phone....never gave me any problem
Its the best phone in market. Trust me i have bought it after researching like for 6 months. Its been 2 months now and it works fine no issues yet. Did all experiments like rooting, custom Roms and it has a active developer community. What more do you wish for?
Happy to help.

which model??
Guys I plan to buy this & want to the following.
How good is the A-GPS? I plan to use this for map navigation.
Does it support 2 way call recording natively or does it have a patch to support 2 way call recording? I use Galaxy call recorder app on my 2 yr old samsung (Chinese rom) & it works fine I need this feature to be working before deciding for this phone.

A-gps and navigation are good I used it to reach my exam center once in my city worked really well. I wouldn't say its best but its gets the job done. And about call recording, it support call recordings during call you get the option to record.
Happy to help.

Thanks for confirming that it supports call recording with native dialer, I am reading lot of negative reviews about micromax service support which is holding me from purchasing as of now.
Whats your experience with micromax service support, how long have you been using this phone?
Best deal for 13k approx.

If you are willing to spend 13k, this is the best phone. I purchased this phone 4 months back after lot of research. Even if you are a fresher, this phone isn't bad with its original ROM. If you know about playing with Custom ROMs nothing like it. Only drawback is the poor customer after sales service. If you are ready to risk that, just go for it.

I know after Sales Service is damn poor. Still I took the risk. I haven't found any problem since last 4 momths.
I am happy with this phone. In performance this phone is better than many Sammy and lg and HTC phones. My only unhappy points are:
1) the camera could have been better
2) cpu architecture, we don't have cyanogenmod
3) the speaker positioning is horribly wrong, added to the weak speakers makes it difficult.

A-GPS work better then in Samsung Galaxy Grand, but Samsung Galaxy S4 find satellites much better the A116
If possible I would suggest holding off buying the phone for now, since the latest contender(the moto g) will be available from January with an affordable price tag.
The development(custom roms, kernels etc) of the phone would be immense. Though the lack of an sd slot might put off a few buyers.
Another option though would be lenovo p780. If you can save up another 5k or so this would be the best phone you can get keeping battery life in mind. I charge it twice a week! It is one of the most hassle-free phones Ive brought. I get screen-time of ~16-17 hrs on a single charge, this is with wifi on always and screen brightness >50%. My canvas HD struggles to reach ~4 hrs of screen time with the lowest brightness!
The only disappointment is the lack of development for the device.
Id say dont go for it as LG optimus L9 is a much better option you will love it and development on xda is very good i currently have the device and im running cm11 on it
Mmx has launched its new smartphone A350 dubbed Canvas knight today.the first true octa core smartphone from mmx is powered by 2gb ram.other specs include 16-megapixel rear camera with OmniVision CameraChip sensor and M8 Largan Lens, 8 mp front camera, 32 gb internal storage, 5'' full hd ips screen and many more.There is also a Yamaha Amplifier on the device.

in terms of design CHD is really good .but with double the processing power and ram the KNIGHT is really strong competitor to the flagship phones from other manufacturers .Also 32 Gb onboard storage and 16 mp camera counts . the icing on the cake is the yamaha engine for best audio output which CHD lacked very much to our liking
what is the price for it?

But our device has the best community support !! You can increase sound quality by installing Sony Clear Audio+ or Sony X-Loud !! To get 32 GB you can use a SD Card.... And to get good quality images you can use Lenovo Super Camera..
There is a alternative to every thing...

But it will be available only on micromaxinfo.com !! So many people won't buy it.... Also its not worthy to buy it if you are using a quad core device like A116 with strong community support...

Buddy obviously there are mods and workarounds available for everything! But there's a reason to call them 'workarounds', they are used when you don't have that thing/feature pre-available! Ofcourse you can install Audio MODS for BETTER audio but that'll never be able to even compete the in-built Yamaha amp!
Ofcourse you can use micro-sd cards to increase your storage BUT let me tell you that inbuilt memories are a lot much faster in speeds and a lot more stable than sd cards! and dude! its in the box pre-built! NO EXTRA COST!!
Similarly you can always use any other camera application as a WORKAROUND! But a 16mp cam specially designed to be HUGE will be better than our HD's cam in any way!
And if you wanna talk about support than correct me if I'm wrong, every phone has ZERO support on its first day! and moreover the community support for ANY device depends on the worthiness of that device! Our HD was better than every Canvas phone which made people(incl. devs) to buy it and support it! and same will happen with Knight too..
Even I'm a user of this lovely Canvas HD from the very start of its release! and I know what this beast is capable of when huntered on its ass! But this doesn't means that the further released canvas devices can't be better than our HD! And its quite obvious that Canvas Knight will soon enter the local retailer and online shops both! So I find no problem in purchasing it!
Peace. :highfive::good:

Yes you are also right............ But MMXNewscaster tweeted that it will be available on micromaxinfo.com plus it said that there are only 830 pieces in stock which will get over very soon........ Its great that you will buy it, but don't sell your CHD it is also a beast as you already said !! And yes Canvas Knight is better in terms of specs than Our CHD, but before its release our device was the best......... And for me its still the best with best community support....... See in coming months our device will get Kitkat and Cyanogenmod....... Our devs have already ported Cyanogenmod 10.2 based on Android 4.3.1 for our device, they gonna release it real soon !! About Community support for Canvas Knight...... Lets See !! But I bet that its community support will never be that much great as of our beloved CHD !!
I too am a big fan of Micromax smartphones and using a Canvas HD myself. Dont know why us Indians go for foreign brand names in all spheres of daily life with our phones being no exception. I hear some people crib about the quality of service at MMX service centers but I have myself visited two different service centers for two very different hardware and software related problems and my experience with MMX was better as compared to other brands like HTC or Samsung.
Anyway, the specs of the phone mentioned sound very interesting in this price range (below 20k). But a hands-on experience is something I would prefer before buying this one cuz I find the Canvas HD is giving me more than I currently need and going for a new phone just for the luxury of it may not be worth the money. SO waiting eagerly for someone nearby to actually buy it so that I could test it with my own hands..

Should I go for this device over the Note 9S? It has an AMOLED display with significantly higher maximum brightness, faster charging, better water resistance and stereo speakers. However, these factors are mostly negligible to me.
The only thing keeping me aloof from purchasing is performance. I'm not a gamer but I wouldn't be happy if the phone became sluggish after 2 years of use. Snapdragon 678 isn't really that convincing. What do you think? You can suggest another alternative below $180 too (no Huawei or Mediatek-powered phones because I would like to install a custom ROM)
