Micromax Canvas 5 E481 3GB RAM Expert Review Summary

Deeksha Koli
by  Deeksha Koli , 23 Nov 2015

Verdict

The Canvas 5 checks all the boxes when it comes to specifications in this price segment. Apart from the camera, which could have been better, the phone performs impressively in most departments. The Canvas 5’s biggest rival is the Moto G 3rd-gen which is a complete all-rounder and offers solid build quality, great battery life, stock android and a better performing camera. The Xiaomi Mi4i (review) also beats the Canvas 5 with its brilliant display, capable cameras and impressive battery li

Design: looks stylish, feels flimsy +

Design is one of the best things about the new Canvas 5. There’s a faux leather back panel and a chrome trim running alongside the edges.

Display: great if you avoid the sun, all day, everyday +

The 5.2-inch display of the Micromax Canvas 5 makes it an easy device to operate with one hand, while providing ample screen space to enjoy content nicely. The touchscreen is very responsive. Screen brightness won’t be an issue for you as long as you’re indoors. Colours just pop on the Canvas 5’s display and the texts and icons appear really crisp. However, the display looks washed out as soon as you step out into bright sunlight.

Camera: no saving grace here +

Since smartphone makers realise how pictures play a crucial role in getting your Instagram followers count up and henceforth in establishing your awesome social life, they cram up a lot of megapixels in the camera sensor. However, that does not necessarily translate into the expected picture quality. This is the case with the Canvas 5’s camera as well. 13-megapixel is the standard and it is exactly what the phone sports. However, pictures taken with the Micromax Canvas 5 were a tad disappointing.

Software: nothing extraordinary +

The Canvas 5 ships with Android Lollipop v5.1 with Micromax’s custom skin running on top. As a result, you don’t get an app drawer and all the apps come scattered over a bunch of home screens. The Canvas 5 comes crazily loaded with pre installed apps like Scandid, Quikr, hike, Chaatz, Citrus Cube, hotstar, Amazon’s Kindle, Saavn, Snapdeal and Amazon, along with all apps from Google. The Micromax browser looks crowded with a great deal of ads and a bunch of download links to some apps.

Performance and Battery: the former is great, the latter not so much +

With 2GB of RAM fast becoming the standard on most smartphones (barring the entry-level ones), regular usage on any phone is smooth and stutter free. The engines can really only be tested when stressed however. We chose heavy games like Dead Trigger 2 and Riptide GP2 as the testing hurdles and the Micromax Canvas 5 came out with flying colours.
