Micromax A116 Canvas HD performance review vs. other quad-core phones
We take a look at the comparison between the long-awaited budget quad-core Micromax A116 Canvas HD smartphone versus not just budget smartphones in the same price range, but premium quad-core devices as well.
We have spent quite a bit of time with the Micromax A116 Canvas HD and we think the smartphone is quite impressive. But being the first “budget” quad-core device, we do have our skepticism. Before we go into a detailed review of the device, we thought we’d compare the A116 Canvas HD to other smartphones, top-end quad-core offerings, as well as other budget devices in that price range.
Micromax Canvas HD A116 vs. Quad-core Flagship Smartphones
We know it’s not an apples to apples comparison, but we still decided to see how the Micromax Canvas HD A116 stacked up against the crème de la crème of the smartphone world. So, below, we have budget Micromax Canvas HD A116 compared with the top-of-the-line LG Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC Butterfly, HTC One X+ and the Samsung Galaxy Note II, phones priced around the Rs. 30,000 mark.
The Micromax A116 Canvas HD did outperform the competition and quite frankly, we were impressed with the results. In the Quadrant benchmark, the Spice Stellar Pinnacle Mi-530 scored second after the A116. The Stellar Pinnacle has a dual-core 1.2GHz processor coupled with 1GB of RAM whereas the A116 has a quad-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. Quadrant measures the performance of the CPU, I/O and 3D graphics of the smartphone. Higher the score, better the performance of the device.
In Antutu, the A116 blows the competition straight out the window, proving that the power under the hood is spectacular. Antutu tests a device on "Memory Performance", "CPU Integer Performance", "CPU Floating Point Performance", "2D 3D Graphics Performance", "SD card read-write speed", and “Database IO" performance. The higher the score, the better the performance of the device. The score gives you a mathematical representation of the potential of a smartphone so it can easily be compared to competing smartphones with similar hardware specifications at a similar price point.
The same can be said for the GLBenchmark Egypt Standard Classic (Frames) benchmark. This benchmark shows off the graphical capabilities of a device and is generally used to measure the gaming and graphical capabilities of the device.
If you are one who would like to play games on your mobile device and don’t like the stutter you get when the action gets intense on your smartphone screen, you are in for a treat. In NenaMark2 (FPS) the device ran at 40.8 FPS making it the best in its class. So, if you decide to play Dead Trigger or any other high graphical game on the phone, the game should play smoothly, which coupled with the good response of the touchscreen and the size of the device, make the Micromax A116 Canvas HD quite ideal to play games on.
Summing It Up
For the price you pay, you are getting a great package in the form of the A116. Of course, it's not just the device's performance that make it quite impressive, but a round-up of other solid features. The Micromax A116 Canvas HD has a 5-inch IPS LCD display with a 1280x720 pixel resolution. It is 10.7mm thin and weighs a mere 156 grams. It also houses a 2000mAh battery, an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP front facing camera. The Canvas HD runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and comes with a refreshing 'upgradeable to Android 4.2' claim.
Coming back to the performance, it's safe to say most of the credit for the quite incredible showing of the Micromax A116 Canvas HD goes to the quad-core 1.2GHz MediaTek MT6589 processor powering the device, coupled with the PowerVR Series5XT GPU, and 1GB of RAM. If this is the future of budget smartphones, we can’t wait to see what Qualcomm does to take on MediaTek with its own ‘budget’ quad-core capable SoC.
Sadly though, we did experience some random reboots on the Canvas HD, and while this may just be an issue with the review unit, it's possible some element of 'budget' compromises did creep into this pioneering effort in the quad-core realm. Stay tuned for our detailed review of the device. In related news, the Micromax Canvas HD sold out within minutes of launch, but is now back in stock according to Snapdeal, and will ship in 20 business days.

that indeed is a good review ![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")
i liked the gaming part ![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
and as far as random rebooting is concerned, a normal software update will solve the problem. Hopefully.
i liked the gaming part and as far as random rebooting is concerned, a normal software update will solve the problem. Hopefully.wow micromax a116 comes good in tests happy to see an Indian made with outstanding performance.
while buying this we should also buy a good grip back cover and screen protector as a116 doesn't comes with gorilla glass.
at last we can't expect every thing in one piece at cheap price
lets see how it comes out in real time tests on customer hands

Samsung And Apple Dominate Smartphone Market In Q4 2012. Huawei Comes Third
Nokia does not feature in the Top 5
This comes as no surprise, but it's official. According to an IDC report, Apple and Samsung continue their massive lead in the smartphone market. What's surprising in the report (some might even call it shocking) is the fact that Huawei has managed to grab the third place, pushing Sony down. And guess what, the Finnish handset manufacturer Nokia is not even in the top five.
Speaking of numbers, Samsung moved 64.5 million units in Q4. The Korean giant also controls 42.5% of the Android's global sales. Apple shipped 43.5 million units in the last quarter of 2012 (October, November, December).
Like Samsung, Huawei rose to third place thanks in large part to the Android OS. Although, its market share of 4.9% is significantly less than Samsung's 29% and Apple's 21.8%, it's quite a feat nonetheless, considering that Huawei is a new entrant to his market. The Japanese phone-maker Sony has bagged 4.5% market share, which is just 0.4% less than Huawei. On the 5th position, ZTE is just 0.2% behind Sony. Will the battle for the third place will get more interesting with BlackBerry's comeback bid? That's hard to say, and we are not passing any judgments yet.

The review of MMX new phone looks to be very good, but believe me the hardware quality and reliability matters much here. I am saying with a experience of a latest MMX phone with my brother. It will be too good in the beginning and looks like it can take on any branded manufacturer with its offerings, but just after a use of 6 months, I have seen lot of things falling sick here
Battery performance
processor speed
touch screen sensitivity
body plastics
Ofcourse for the price paid it served you for 6 months, that is good, but you will be again on a hunt for new phone quickly
Just think if MMX can offer so much with that killer price, then could have been a year or two that companies like samsung,nokia,sony closed
Why they are top of list even today, there is a reason for it and I vote Huawei between these two any day for many reasons. No offence for MMX buyers or users here as this is my subjective opinion
