Micromax teases Canvas Doodle 2
Last week you heard about Micromax’s plans to launch a new flagship device that would go up against Samsung’s mighty Mega series of phablets. Now, the Canvas Doodle 2 as the phablet is known could be close to a launch. Micromax has posted a photo on Facebook that depicts a hand-drawn doodle followed by the tagline “Can your imagination get bigger?” and the name Canvas Doodle 2 at the top. In the comments section, the company has written that they will be launching the device in the coming weeks.
From what we know so far, the Canvas Doodle 2 will most likely be a rebadged BLU Life View and will go up against the Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8. Talking of specifications, the device is likely to flaunt a 5.7- inch 720p display and will be powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT6589 processor clocked at 1.2GHz.
Other features likely to be included are 1GB of RAM, 12- megapixel rear camera with LED flash, 5-megapixel secondary camera, 16GB of expandable internal memory and a 2,600mAh battery. Connectivity-wise the device will feature dual-SIM support and on the software front, will run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean along with the various add-ons like vertical panorama in camera app, video pinning to home-screen support, Flip to mute, and Smart Pause that were introduced on the Canvas 4.
The Canvas Doodle 2 is expected to be priced at around Rs 18,000, which should give the Galaxy Mega 5.8 a run for its money as it is priced at Rs 23,000 and also lags behind in terms of specifications.
According to sources, A240 will also pack 5MP front camera, dual-SIM support, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and 2,600 mAh battery. In terms of the software customisations, the phone is expected to include all tweaks that were made available as a part of A210 Canvas 4 including support for vertical panorama in camera app, video pinning to home- screen support, Flip to mute, and Smart Pause.
Pricing: Micromax A240 will most likely carry a price-tag around INR 18,000 similar to Canvas 4 launch price.
We can expect the following changes to happen in upcoming Micromax A240 Canvas 5-
1. Change in processor
MediaTek MT6589 will surely be replaced with MT6589T Turbo. The Turbo version of the chip is really fast as the application processor cores are clocked high at 1.5 GHz and the GPU too is over-clocked to 357 MHz. Now anyone can understand the later one is faster and better for multitasking.
2. 2 GB RAM
Now everybody is hoping for 2 GB RAM. It will be great if that much RAM is present in Canvas 5. Less than that will disappoint everyone.
3. Full HD 1080p Display
Micromax A116 Canvas HD was the first phone to get 720p display. Now time has changed. Not only high-end phones but also low-cost phones like Zopo ZP980, Wammay Passion Z are getting 1080p display in less than Rs 15,000. Micromax should consider this feature with higher importance.
4. At least 2500 mAh battery
Now majority of the buyers understand bigger battery is better for ultimate smartphone experience. Mere 2000 mAh battery for highly powerful hardware, 1080p display will drain the battery very fast.So something like a 2500 mAh battery can do the trick for them.
5. NFC/Wi-Fi Direct
Everybody want to get as much as possible! Nothing wrong with that. Sony Xperia L, Nokia Lumia 720 can have NFC, Wi-Fi Direct in less than Rs 18,000. So everybody hoping for these connectivity features. DLNA is also an important feature especially if you want to stream media in your smart TV from smartphone.
Other Specs
should be 16 GB ROM, micro SD card slot, 13 MP camera, 5 MP front camera, HSPA+ speed, GPRS/EDGE Class 12Corning Gorilla Glass coating on display.
